Employee Motivation – A Short Case Study
I, Ali, joined CVS Caremark project at TCS-Lahore in November after a successful stint at Aviva in TCS-Islamabad, where I had worked as a trainee. I had always wanted to go back to my hometown and live with my parents and when I got a transfer to Lahore I didn’t waste a single moment in saying yes to the new project and heading towards Lahore. Many of my friends were also moving out from Islamabad at the same time which only made my decision easier. I felt that Caremark offered better career prospects, as it was a new project and we were offered to work on the current technologies that were in demand in the market. I was sure I would excel in my new position at Caremark, just as I had done in my old job at Aviva.
I joined as Assistant Systems Engineer at Caremark, with a handsome pay hike for becoming a confirmed employee of the company. Caremark also had international operations and there was more than a slim chance that I would be sent to USA or the UK on a project. Knowing that this would give me a lot of exposure, besides looking good on my resume, I was quite excited about the new job.
I joined Imran Khan’s five-member team at Caremark. I had met Imran during the interview sessions, and was looking forward to working under him. My team members seemed warm and friendly, and comfortable with their work. I introduced myself to the team members and got to know more about each of them.
Wanting to know more about my boss, I casually askedAnum, one of the team members, about Imran. Anum said, "Imran does not interfere with our work. In fact, you could even say that he tries to ignore us as much as he can."
I was surprised by the comment but decided that Imran was probably leaving them alone to do their work without any guidance, in order to allow them to realize their full potential.
At Aviva, I had worked under Rehan Qureshi and had looked up to him as a guide and mentor - always guiding, but
