INTRODUCTION

Quality of work life is a multifaceted concept. The premise of the quality of work life is having a work environment where an employee's activities become more important and relevant to the society. This means implementing procedures or policies that make the work less routine and more rewarding for the employee. These procedure or policies include autonomy, recognition, belonging, progress, and development, and external rewards. QWL is the abbreviation for the Quality of Work Life Initiative. QWL is a comprehensive, department-wide program designed to enhance GENPACT ORGANIZATION service to the public by improving employee satisfaction, strengthening workplace learning and helping employees better manage change and transition.

The reverse of Taylor's work simplification theory is job enlargement. This involves enlarging a job by horizontally increasing the number of tasks or activities required. The rationale behind the theory is that an enlarged job will increase job satisfaction and productivity. The process of job enlargement is relatively simple and can be applied in a variety of situation.

Job enrichment stress job content and structure as the critical issue in job design similar to enlargement job enrichment increases the tasks and duties of job, but it included more responsibility for decision making, planning and/or control. It entails more self- monitoring and more planning and controlling decisions. The traditional information feedback loop between superior and subordinates is altered in job enrichment. A single employee may follow the project from beginning to end, because the decision maker and planner and operator are the same person, quick feedback and necessary alterations are possible if standards are not met.

Every business thrives to outperform and take the market share to it's credit. However, a business organization is in capacitive of attaining the objects it has set, without having a clear vision as to what's to be done and how it is to be done.Hence, it is clear that vision and mission are two underlying assets that any business has to have.In this regard, following few points are discussed to make the object of Genpactmore clear.The velocity, quantum and certainty of change define the new age of business. How companies embrace these new dimensions of change will determine their future. Intelligence is what ensures the evolution, growth and survival of any species. The same principle applies to business. Intelligence is necessary to outcompete. The Intelligent Enterprise will lead the competition in these times of change. Genpact follows the concept of an intelligent enterprise. The concept revolves around the four factors that make the Company business intelligent, namely; Globally Effective, Connected, Innovative and Adaptive. The aim of the Company is to attain all the above mentioned factors simultaneously to function efficiently and follow it's set path. Globally EffectiveThe intelligent enterprise is able to address different markets and run operations optimally.The demographic shift between emerging and developed nations now impacts demand, buying power, intellectual capital and talent supply. This drives incredible changes in product design, market infrastructure and value chains.An intelligent enterprise builds scale based on opportunity or uncertainty offered by each market. It then outcompetes by tapping the worlds best intellectual resources in the most cost efficient and effective manner. This is what Genpact aims for everyday it wakes up for it's business call. ConnectedThe intelligent enterprise has the vision to anticipate and meet evolving stakeholder needs.Globalization and disruptive changes in technology have replaced the traditional workplace, creating global networks of virtual organizations. The smart organization harnesses this connectivity to anticipate and satisfy stakeholder needs.This is done by building visibility, access and the ability to transact from anywhere in the world. The intelligent enterprise is adept at creating end-to-end visibility of global processes and driving a seamless flow of data and decisions. It creates and delivers hugely differentiated value for its end customers by intelligently leveraging complex partner ecosystems to innovate, develop and deliver. InnovativeThe intelligent enterprise finds ways to address both opportunity and uncertainty for a competitive advantage.Todays networked world generates complex flows of capital, goods, information and people in a complex interconnected spider web of business touch points. This creates a need for new business models and accelerated innovation.The intelligent enterprise focuses on both breakthrough innovation as well as applied innovation on a daily basis. It invests in a funnel of new products and offerings, and continuously improves value delivered by focusing on productivity improvements. It uses variable cost business models for better preservation of cash and working capital. AdaptiveThe intelligent enterprise responds to change with agility. It fosters a culture of change through agile operating teams of passionate people focused on delivering maximum value to internal and external customers.Flexible business models using variable cost structures are hallmarks of the adaptable organization. They help vaporize organizational clutter by identifying core versus non-core processes and by eliminating redundancies and inefficiencies. They allow deployment of modular investments, supported by smarter analytics, that increase predictability and readiness for change.Thus, it is how the Company sees what's ahead of it and functions accordingly in such a manner that all the above mentioned four areas are covered in an integrated manner.
