Price of 'richest man on Earth' tag: $150 bnJeff Bezos crossed the threshold just as Amazon kicked off its 36-hour summer sales event, Prime Day. Want to go back to an old job? Here are 7 tips By Devashish ChakravartySteve Jobs did it. And so can you. You can go back to a job that you quit or was asked to leave from. Are you clueless about how you will ask your ex-employer for your job back or for a new role? You are not alone. Most professionals hesitate to do so and thus let potential opportunities pass by. Know that ex-employees who return to work for the same firm are called “Boomerang†employees. In the last three years, more companies have opened to the idea of accepting boomerang employees given the serious talent crunch in the market. Here’s what you need to do to open old doors.When you shouldDo you regret leaving your previous job because the new job or culture or pay is not what you expected? Leaving the previous job has given you a fresh perspective of what is valuable to you and since you know exactly what to expect in your previous role, consider going back and requesting for it. Be open to a new role too if it is the people and the culture you miss. If you have left the company a long time back or have handled different responsibilities thereafter, you should have no trouble in reconsidering your ex-employer in a new role and designation. Similarly, consider going back if you have acquired new skills and are now eligible for an opportunity that was unavailable to you earlier.When you shouldn’tRemember the experiences and the reasons why you quit the job in the first place. If the culture was toxic or you were harassed, dis-respected or under-valued then nothing would have changed. If you quit under less than polite and cordial circumstances or the exit was acrimonious, then how will you handle the negative feelings on both sides? Next, would going back affect your self-esteem? Are you up to the mild embarrassment of having to explain to ex-colleagues why you chose to come back and willing to handle the politics arising thereafter? Finally, are you willing to eat humble pie, sell yourself, answer questions about your decisions and convince your ex-employer why they should hire you back?How should you askStart with informal conversations with people in the organisation like friends from your previous team, a mentor or a manager with whom you share a personal equation. If the vibes are positive, create the space for a formal application. Be honest and prepared about your answers about why you wish to return to the ex-employer and whether you are looking for the same role or a different role if you have new skills or achievements to demonstrate. Do not talk poorly about the employer you are now leaving because then you are signalling that you are willing to trash your interviewer too. Treat the re-hiring process as respectfully as you would treat a fresh job application.What should you considerFirstly, consider whether you are willing to step back into the same role that you recently exited and are willing to re-join at the same salary or even a reduced one. If you are willing to work only in a new role or team or higher salary, make it clear at the beginning to avoid miscommunication. Remember that you need this and hence are re-applying to your ex-employer. Be willing to compromise or discuss revised expectations on commitment, role, designation, goals, incentives etc. Prepare to negotiate based on the performance you delivered in the past, the commitment you now bring to the role, the new approach or skills if any and your ongoing relationships with people in the team that will benefit everyone. Be open to an internship or trial role if offered.Start over againOnce you join your ex-employer, treat the job like a fresh start and don’t assume the perks and privileges of an old hand. The team and manager had learnt to do without you when you were not around and may resent it if you have an air of entitlement. Put your best foot forward to rebuild old equations and initially contribute more into relationships than others. Respect fresh roles and boundaries anof ex-colleagues who have been promoted. Invest a few days in figuring out what has changed in the job content and team and in re-training yourself accordingly.Dos and Don’tsSeek support while settling down. Be open to communication with people who are curious about your return. Make sure you are on time and are diligent about your work to win back the trust of your team. Volunteer for new projects to demonstrate your commitment. Don’t assume that everything is exactly as before and don’t revert to your old way of working before you are sure it still works. Don’t start off by complaining about what isn’t working or what caused you to quit in the first place. Finally, don’t hide any fresh perspectives and maturity that you bring to the role.How to quit a jobNow that you appreciate the opportunity to be a boomerang employee, think about how you want to quit a job the next time around. Avoid quitting a job in an emotional manner or by insulting colleagues. Following due protocol and being nice to people on your way out helps avoid burning bridges. Having an honest conversation on why you are leaving for a better opportunity and not running away from a bad job or boss, leaves the space for you to return if things don’t work out. Finally, stay connected with your ex-team members and your ex-employer and keep the goodwill going.WHAT ATTRACTS YOUR EMPLOYER...1. Track recordIf you had a great performance record in your role before you left, then your employer sees clear value in getting a high performer back into the team. Add to that the personal trust your ex-manager has in you and hence is thrilled to have you back. Still be humble because your fi rm and team knows how to work without you!2. Known quantityYou are a known quantity. Your managers and your company know exactly what to expect and what not to. This makes planning your new role and projects that much easier. This comes with a flip side for you. You have to work much harder to prove that you have changed and improved since your previous stint.3. Onboarding speedIf you had recently quit and are returning to the same role, there is a huge benefit to your current boss who does not have to spend any time in getting you to speed. Hiring you back saves a few days or weeks of training a new employee into your role. But ask for some time if either your team, work content or tools have changed since you left.4. NetworkIf you haven’t been gone for a long time or if the leadership or management team is unchanged, then your return is valuable to the fi rm because of the network you can tap into. Your equation with people in key roles, your personal reputation with decision makers and your instant access to them means that tasks and teams move faster around you.5. Upgraded expectationsWhen you apply for a comeback, your ex-employer can discuss a higher expectation from you. In case you resigned recently, they will expect a fi rm commitment of continuity. Additionally, your employer will discuss a commitment towards new targets in the same role or a better performance in a new role.(The writer is founder and CEO at QUEZX.COM and HEADHONCHOS.COM.) Price of 'richest man on Earth' tag: $150 bn By Olivia Carville and Tom MetcalfJeff Bezos is the richest person in modern history.The Amazon.com Inc. founder’s net worth broke $150 billion in New York on Monday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That’s about $55 billion more than Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates, the world’s second-richest person.Bezos, 54, has now topped Gates in inflation-adjusted terms. The $100 billion mark that Gates hit briefly in 1999 at the height of the dot-com boom would be worth about $149 billion in today’s dollars. That makes the Amazon chief executive officer richer than anyone else on earth since at least 1982, when Forbes published its inaugural wealth ranking.Bezos crossed the threshold just as Amazon kicks off its 36-hour summer sales event, Prime Day. The company’s share price was $1,825.73 at 11:10 a.m. in New York, extending its 2018 gain to 56 percent and giving Bezos a $150.8 billion fortune. Affordability of quality healthcare is a major issue The Economic Times India Leadership Council is the country’s most premium leadership platform comprising the country’s top CEOs and industrialists, who will attempt to bring about desired change, drive and sustain growth at higher levels through policy prescriptions and advice. Here, in this piece, the ET ILC’s top industry executives elaborate on policy measures needed to transform the surging healthcare industry’s fortunes and prepare it to meet and embrace disruptive challenges ahead.With the rise in awareness, affordability and lifestyle diseases, healthcare continues to be one of the key needs of the country. Additionally, due to the advent of innovative technology solutions for India’s healthcare requirements and the government’s increased focus on the sector, India’s healthcare sector is at a critical juncture.The next few years have the potential to define how well India will be able to tackle its long-standing healthcare issues, and at the same time, adapt to meet the everevolving healthcare needs of its citizens.PATIENT AS A CONSUMERWith the increase in access to information, aided by mobile penetration and ever-increasing data speeds, the power equation between patients and doctors is changing.The millennial generation no longer takes the doctor’s word as gospel truth and instead, looks for validation through second opinion and accessing information available online. Moreover, the advent of social media platforms has led to emergence of new methods of patient engagement. Recognising this shift in patient behaviour, providers have also started adopting newer methods of patient engagement to attract and retain customers.However, this rise in econsumerismf, unlike other sectors, is a double-edged sword in the case of healthcare.While it keeps the medical fraternity on its toes and makes them more accountable, it has also created a trust deficit that can lead to misguided consumer activism. Healthcare is a complex and subjective field, where several variables affect the outcomes. However, patients have increasingly started to feel entitled to outcomes, and feel aggrieved and wronged in case they are unfavourable. This tenuous relationship between patients and doctors is further being put under stress due to reports of goverchargingh or gnegligenceh in a few specific cases. There is a need to bring back the sanctity of this relationship.THE AFFORDABILITY CONUNDRUMGiven the large number of people still living below the poverty line in India, the affordability of quality healthcare is a problem and needs to be addressed by looking at both sides of the equation .cost of delivery on the one hand, and peoplefs ability to pay for it on the other.COST OF DELIVERYOf late, there appears to be an increasing focus on tackling the affordability issue by regulatory actions that control prices.However, the issue of cost containment needs to bear in mind the following:1. In today's age of innovation and advancement, there is a wide variety and quality of equipment, devices and drugs that is available globally. If India is to continue to attract the top-end products and technologies, the prices have to ensure economic viability for such premium products. With continuously reducing prices, there is a risk of such products and services disappearing from the Indian market.2. There is a threshold below which the quality vs cost equation can become dangerously tilted in favour of low quality, especially in the case of healthcare products and services. Therefore, it is critical that the government draw a balance between these and find measures to mitigate the risk of lowering prices leading to corresponding reduction in quality to sustain the margins.An increased focus on, and a well-implemented plan for quality control is critical at this juncture.3. Healthcare, in today's age is provided in large measure by the private sector and is funded by corporates or private equity investors who will expect a fair return on investment.Moreover, there is a need to review the notion that gthe healthcare players are making super-normal profitsh. While evaluating costs and margins, healthcare delivery needs to be assessed as a continuum and not broken up into various components and products. There is a need to co-opt experts, who will carry out a fair and accurate assessment of the true cost of a delivery.This would take into account requirements of minimum quality as well as an understanding that, beyond a point, increase in volumes cannot lead to lower costs in the case of healthcare. There are constraints on capacity of both equipment as well as medical professionals.Moreover, considering that India depends heavily on private healthcare infrastructure, any steps that make investing in it unviable will exacerbate the already existing shortage of health infrastructure.ABILITY TO PAYIn a poor country such as India, and for a high investment sector like healthcare, it will never be possible to solve the affordability issue by simply attacking the cost side. There is a need to address the other side of the equation too, i.e. ability to pay.The government should focus on healthcare financing, particularly for the part of population that cannot afford healthcare. Launching the National Health Protection Scheme (NHPS) is a step in the right direction. However, the success of the scheme will depend on how well it is detailed out, and implemented on the ground.In order to generate maximum value out of the massive investment by the government in this scheme, efforts should be made to encourage and incentivise wellness/preventive care and making primary care (including basic diagnostic tests and outpatient care) accessible and affordable for all. This will not only improve the overall health of the population, but also free up resources and reduce the overall cost to the exchequer.Technology can play a significant role in managing population health. Big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) can help us in the areas of risk identification, disease prevention and early diagnosis, and the government must use these for public health purposes. Lastly, it is critical that issues of quality and sustainability be borne in mind while setting package prices under NHPS in a manner that balances quality and economic viability.To conclude, healthcare is a very complex sector and several countries and societies are struggling to get it right.We, in India, are fortunate to have an extremely competent pool of healthcare resources, who can boast of some of the best health outcomes. India is called the ‘pharmacy of the world’ and is fast becoming the hub for innovation and manufacturing. All we need is for the private sector and the government to work collaboratively and with trust and respect for each other. Each can support the other and work towards creating a healthcare sector that ensures quality healthcare to the poorest of the poor, as well as facilitates the availability of best-in-class products and services to those who can afford it.(Deloitte has supported The Economic Times India Leadership Council for this initiative to understand the industry opinion of ILC members representing the healthcare sector. The views carried in the article are of ILC members in entirety, and not of Deloitte or ET. ) Goa top fuel guzzler, per capita petrol sales 6 times national average of 19 kg NEW DELHI: Goa consumes more petrol and diesel on a per capita basis than any other state in the country, while Bihar uses the least.Per capita sales of petrol in Goa were 119.7 kg in 2017-18, over six times the national average of 19 kg, according to oil ministry data. In diesel, at 225.6 kg, Goans consumed almost three-and-half times the fuel than the national average of 66.9 kg. By contrast, in Bihar, per capita sales were 6.7 kg for petrol and 22 kg for diesel, about one-third the national average.Economic activity, tourist flow and inter-state variation in taxes largely contribute to the differences in per capita consumption of petrol and diesel among states, according to BS Canth, a former marketing director at Indian Oil Corp.“The population of Goa is small but number of vehicles on the road is always high due to a huge inflow of tourists. This results in higher per capita consumption of petrol and diesel in Goa,†said Canth.65015152 en-gb 2018-07-16T23:41:32+05:30 - The new policies, to be effective from September 11, will also give discretionary powers to immigration officials to deport a person if they are not satisfied with the documentation provided by a visa-seeker.
