Epilogue
Editorial
In the times that we live-in, balancing our varied
requirements that we face as individuals and
as employees have gained much attention, and
probably rightly so. This can commonly be
referred-to as work-life balance. The balance
herein has nothing to do with 50/50 or
clock-time. It has to do with how we use the
time we have. It doesn’t mean that for every
hour of work, you must have an hour off-work.
It just means finding what the reasonable balance
is for you.
Is it a few hours a week unencumbered by
work-worries? Is it four work-breaks a day? Is
it some solitude before bedtime? Is it playing
with your children more? Is it having an actual
conversation with your spouse each day? Is it a
community, religious or sports activity that you
are passionate about? Schedule them; structure
them into your life; don’t just accept life
as given.
Author Eric C. Sinoway and entrepreneur Howard
Stevenson have said there are seven dimensions
in our life or we can extrapolate this to mean
the different facets of our work-life: family; social
and community; spiritual; physical; material;
avocational; and career. Given that we have
finite amount of time, energy and resources, how
important is each of the dimensions relative to
others? It is by arriving at the right balance or
prioritizing between these dimensions at different
stages of our lives and having a clear personal
vision or plan for ourselves that we can truly
achieve work-life balance.
As Harvey Mackay, the author and business
motivational speaker said, knowing when not to
work hard is as important as knowing when to.
The late Steven Covey wrote, it is by renewing
or sharpening the saw in the four areas of our
human nature - physical, spiritual, mental and
social/emotional - that we can complement the
same with our work and career aspiration to be
truly satisfying and successful.

the wall but are being practiced by the employees

refresh the staff on the company values, Dulsco
embarked on a month-long campaign.
The campaign on the four individual values,
viz., Respect, Integrity, Environmental Awareness,

message of the chairman. Each value was taken

Dulsco Contributes to the ‘Go Green’ Initiative
of Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi
Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, a part of
the Hyatt Hotels Corporation, is a premium
business hotel located in Abu Dhabi’s iconic
Capital Gate building. It has three properties
in Dubai and two in Abu Dhabi. Hyatt has
hotels across the globe and continues to set
the benchmark in the world-wide hospitality
industry. Of the Hyatt hotels, Hyatt Capital

Environmental awareness is not new to Hyatt. As in all Hyatt hotels, Hyatt
Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, has a ‘Green Team’ consisting of representatives
from all the departments in the hotel. The ‘Green Team’ meets every
month to initiate new projects and track the recycling footprint. The use
of 100% recycled paper is a testimony to the commitment towards this
initiative of the hotel.
Dulsco commenced servicing Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, in September
2011, three months before the hotel was inaugurated during December
2011. The decision to appoint Dulsco as its waste management partner
was backed by a strong reference from Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions
Company (ADNEC), which have been associated with Dulsco for over four
years. Sohail Ahmed, Materials Manager, Hyatt Capital Gate Abu Dhabi, was
complimentary of Dulsco customer service representatives. He said, “They
are very good, friendly and informative. Rasik Manayil, the customer service
representative from Dulsco, is very accessible and service-oriented.” The
details regarding the percentage of recyclables and general waste collected
are given on a monthly basis to Ahmed, and he is particularly appreciative
of the regular and informative reporting system that Dulsco follows.
Hyatt has always regarded safeguarding the environment as one of its top
priorities. The numerous initiatives being carried-out in the hotel to reduce
food, electricity and paper wastage are a proof to this philosophy. In line
with this thought, Ahmed applauded Dulsco’s latest addition
to its service - Converta: a seemingly simple yet impressive
technology of recycling food waste to compost. Ahmed looks
forward to working with Dulsco to contribute to a greener earth.

manpower at various DP World cargo and container terminals in the UAE.
Nathan Seal, Manager, Global Safety and Environment, DP World, has
been associated with Dulsco for more than 5 years. Describing his
experience with Dulsco, he explained, “Dulsco is one of the major
manpower services providers in the UAE and at DP World. From day
one, Dulsco has given me great support and has always been happy to
work with us. It is a strong company and a brand to be recognised with
a high level of safety, quality and environmental standards. I have had no
issues with Dulsco and my expectations were met to a 110%.” Having
personally visited Dulsco accommodations, Nathan Seal is impressed
with the infrastructure that Dulsco provides to its employees, especially
the medical and sporting facilities. He qualified the accommodations as
‘excellent’ and praised the way Dulsco lives as ‘one big happy family’.
He commended Dulsco for the certifications and standards that it meets,
especially legal dimensions. It is Dulsco’s standards to go above and
beyond what is required to facilitate the well being of its people that
struck Nathan.
“I can’t speak highly enough of Dulsco.” he said, and added that the
management is very professional and friendly as well. He concluded
saying, “I believe that Dulsco will continue to have
a great relationship with DP World…rather an even
better relationship, for the next 75 years and more!”

East FZCO is a subsidiary of the Italian
parent company located close to Milan. LTC
manufactures cores for electrical transformers.
With an objective to go international, increase
volume, and be closer to the customers, LTC
group decided to set up a unit in the UAE. The
company was set up in JAFZA in 2009.
partnered with Dulsco in 2011 with 10 helpers
to man its machines at their JAFZA unit. Today
the number has grown to 60 with the quality
of the machine operators being enhanced
over a period of time. LTC, with a long-term
vision, has partnered with Dulsco to train the
outsourced employees to suit its needs. The
machine operators who work with LTC are now
of a much higher calibre and skill. Mereghetti
says, “Our manpower partner has thus been an
important part of our journey to success. Though
we have been dealing with the UAE market for
more than 20 years, the decision to set up a
unit in the UAE meant pressure of recovering
cost. Thanks to the efforts of the management
and employees down to the last level, the UAE
market has responded well to LTC.”

give and take between the company and the
employees. His people philosophy thus ensures
that good care is taken-of every employee - be
it an employee of LTC or Dulsco. He encourages
employees at all levels to be free to approach
him directly in case of any difficulties.
“Our continued partnership with Dulsco says a
lot about the relationship. The pros far exceed
the cons in favour of Dulsco. We have reached
our goal in a short time in the UAE. This would
not have been possible without the partnership
with Dulsco. As is the growing trend of super
specialization in Europe, manufacturing is our
specialty and we focus on
that. Dulsco is the manpower
specialist and we trust
Mereghetti modestly admitted as to how he Dulsco with that!,” concludes
Mauro Mereghetti, General Manager of LTC, learnt from his management that while running Mereghetti.
Being a family-run business by 3 Bertelli brothers
in Italy, LTC took time to recruit managers and
supervisors with knowledge of the business
from Italy. While evaluating vendors to award
manpower and recruitment contract, LTC wanted
to ensure that the manpower provider abides by
the laws of the UAE and knows the market well.
Dulsco, having satisfied the requirement, was
thus a natural choice to provide services to LTC.

We have learned how to make a living, but not a life.
Worker satisfaction survey, covering different categories
of workers in Dulsco UAE and Dulsco Qatar, was
conducted during the first half of 2012. The survey
covered over 3000 workers or an equivalent of over
50% of the worker-population of the two companies
in the two countries. The satisfaction survey was
based on 5 dimensions: · About Dulsco · Work
Environment · Training and Learning Opportunities
· Recognition · Welfare System.
The optimization of employee satisfaction is key to
the success of any organisation or business. This is
the third worker satisfaction survey that has been
conducted in Dulsco UAE, and the second in Dulsco
Qatar. Dulsco has been conducting satisfaction survey
for its staff since 2005. The 8th edition of the staff survey

DULSCO COGNITION
How to be an Effective Supervisor?
4. Keep cool: Your men can lose their temper but as their supervisor you
cannot lose yours.
5. Be concerned about the task, and even more about your people:
The best supervisors are those who are task-minded as well as
people-minded. Their teams accomplish much because they have a
hand in setting goals and they feel they have a stake in the work,
for they are treated with respect and trust, as resource, not as cost to
be controlled.
6. Be fair: Don’t play favourites. Justice is blind. Remember the hot-stove rule.
As is the role of the manager, the role of the supervisor is also changing. The
emphasis now is on supervisor as a coach, team-builder, facilitator, expediter,
barrier-smasher, and as someone crossing boundaries when necessary which
were previously held sacred. The supervisory-subordinate relationship is also
now seen as a partnership as opposed to paternalism. Here are some tips.
7. Take responsibility, don’t run away from it: You grow as a person by
taking responsibility. Stand up and be counted. Be honest with yourself.
1. Know yourself: Good supervisors know themselves. They know their
strong points as well as their weak points. They know where they are
secure and where they will need help.
9. Develop teamwork: By developing teamwork, by training, by involving
your people more and more in group decisions, you leave your team
members as better people for having worked under your supervision.
2. Know your people: Know their names. Everybody likes to be called by
his or her name. Know what they expect, how they differ, how well the
group can pull together. Know the key people for getting group support.
10.Be yourself: Don’t pretend or bluff. When you say something, mean it.
Remember, workers take very seriously what the supervisor tells them.
3. Know when to make decisions yourself and when to ask help from the
group: As supervisor it is your duty to see that the necessary decisions
are made; but whether you make the decision by yourself or with others
is for you to decide. Shared decisions are usually best but this is not
always practical.
8. Foresee problems: Something will always go wrong. Foresee obstacles.
Have back-up plans.
11.Be a good listener: Studies the world over have shown that one of the
most appreciated qualities of a supervisor is their ability to listen.
12.Develop your people: By example, by training, and by involving them
more and more in decisions; thereby it enables your people to be better
persons for having worked under your supervision.

J.K.Rowling 2012
ISBN 978-1-4087-0420-2
The Casual Vacancy, the first book for adults
from the author of Harry Potter, J.K.Rowling,
has been described as unadventurous, bleak
and brilliant in reviews around the world.
This is the first book review on fictional
writing by DulscoNews. The editorial team
opines that an author who has published just
seven books but which have sold over 450
million copies world-wide, distributed in more
than 200 countries or territories, translated
into 73 languages, and have been turned
into eight blockbuster films need recognition.
Hence the tribute and critical appreciation for
the author and the novel by this magazine.
Set in a fictional English village of Pagford,
the book chronicles the political and personal
fallout created by the sudden death of a
member of the parish council named Barry
Fairbrother. The consequent election sharply
divides the apparently cozy community and
reveals the snobbery, malice, darkness and
desperation at the heart of the village.
The Casual Vacancy features scenes that would
make Harry Potter blush and it definitely isn’t
for children. The book isn’t flawless; it is
also long. Rowling has generally been prone
to over-writing. Rowling’s style is direct and
uncomplicated rather than literary. Some
readers will be shocked at her departure from
wizardry and magic.
All told the book is a bold and distinctive
effort, and a moral-tale of our time. Sometimes
one can marvel at the skills with which
Rowling weaves such vivid characters in and
out of each other's lives.
Rowling, who like Charles Dickens, rose to
fame and wealth from poverty has in The
Casual Vacancy taken it upon herself to revive
the idea of a novel as a force of social good.
She does so by fictionalizing characters with
characteristics that are all too familiar to us in
the contemporary period, and the book is also
an evocation of British society as is today.
