Abstract
The chairman of the 60-year old company Texica, Ashutosh Verma approached Dr. Asim Vakil, who has a wide experience in consulting turnaround activities in declining organizations. The organization had undergone few rounds of downsizing and was also reporting about 15-20% attrition in the organization. Dr. Vakil was requested to redesign the job description and the appraisal system of the employees and found several gaps in the existing process. The HR processes were not well-structured and the KPIs of the employees were not communicated to them properly. So, the team decided to deep-dive into the activity based job allocation to different employees and found interesting results. They decided to discuss their results with the chairman. The chairman asks the team to discuss the results with the top management of the organization. The meeting was aimed at identifying not only the operational issues in the organization but also the attitudinal problems in the organization.
