QUICK TO THE POINT Vs MY PLACE AND PLEASURE (QTP Vs MPP)

In the this overloaded digital and information flow era there is bizarre problem faced in the meeting, seminars, workshops or by almost every trainers and teachers. It can classified as QTP or MPP(Quick to the point or I will go to my place and pleasure)The problem we are facing is people cannot concentrate any point of discussion or training delivery if immediately moderator come to the point or keep the interest alive and conclude it in logical way he or she can understand easily.Otherwise people will quickly go to their place of pleasure ,most possibly a smart phone or tablet which is readily available with them all the time. In fact people cannot resist the urge to be in touch with rest of the world, or share and receive information from others who are on the same gadgets in an unseen location. Obviously it prevent them to concentrate in any point of discussion or matter relevant to their productive life and job but not having same rate or interest.
All moderators, teachers and trainers should make their classes, speeches, deliveries are up to the point, clear, precise, and stronger communicative than this attention diverting gadgets. If they are not succeed in this attempt of QTP simply the audience or team will go back to MPP.
This is not a problem it is a persistence an challenge we all to face in somewhere in daily life weather it home, office, training room or board room.

ABSENTEEISM VS PRESENTEEISM

In HSE management process absenteeism subsequent to any injury and ill health treated as primary loss and given all thrust to control it. However one new scenario formed in the era of this digitalised, over informed and immobilised office set up. This can considered as presenteeism. It is just opposite of absenteeism where a worker is off from office after any kind of injury. Where as in this scenario employee will be physically present in the office for work but he will not deliver the desired quality and quantity of his assigned work. He is not an under performer, but because of his/her poor wellness, weak attention, burden of personal and official information inflow and out flow, he/she will not deliver what expecting form normal employee.
Personally available in office but individuals wellness not health , mental condition including feelings, emotions and psychological alertness may not fit for performing his day to day work, or person is virtually absent even though physically available in office and engage in his normal work. When it read with the electronically connected individual’s real presence ,peer pressure from society, over burdened by the electronically transmitting communications in every second, he/she is missing his golden hours, basic required attention level required for work(eg.first 2 hours after reaching office, getting electronic message while on urgent meeting).Finally individual is not deliberately engaged anything but forced by coming messages other than official, or unable to concentrate on work after the attention diverting communication reaching without out his deliberate invitation or wish.
Absenteeism scenario is very easy to handle, measure and control, however presenteeism cannot be tackle easily. The main reason is it cannot accurately measurable or immediately understandable. Superiors and colleagues cannot assess the presenteeism problem of an employee, hence failed to take any counter measures. This included his well being, physical and mental fitness to engage his given task and deliver within the targeted time and volume.
Emotional connections and very weak in this era of electronic closeness, and capacity of an employee’s delivery range or skills and actual delivery is seldom evaluated other than given target and time line. Hence unfortunately presenteeism is not considered as a symptom urgently needs detection and correction.
