Employee Ecstacy- A mirage

First came 'employee satisfaction'....then came 'employee delight'...and we have been introduced to 'employee ecstacy' recently...

Many might say that 'Employee satisfaction' in itself is a challenging task given the economic turmoil today. The entire romanticisation about concepts like employee delight and employee ecstacy are no more relevant enough. Well!! I personally believe that we HR guys can strive towards 'Employee delight' or 'Employee Ecstacy' so that we have a higher probability of reaching employee satisfaction atleast in these tough times.

Today, during my morning 'Geeta classes', the preacher was telling us that when a person experiences any form of ecstacy then his ego has no place in his heart or mind.This left me with the following thought:

As far as a corporate life is concerned, so much revolves around managing [massaging] egos of others and oneself too. Then where is the scope for experiencing employee ecstacy????

I truly believe that no company can get 'employee ecstacy' perfect.

It's almost like a mirage. But, I would say follow the mirage for the sake of optimism[it helps!!!!] and for getting the 'employee satisfaction' part right.
