Nair T: +974 4 4469723 In the business world, email leaves an electronic paper trail, which is important. Some of its positive uses are: • Informational Messages • Announcements • Delivering and Collaborating with business documents • Company Policy Statements • Quick Responses to Simple Questions Tip #1: Begin each email with a greeting. No matter how pressed for time you are, a simple greeting such as “Hi,” “Hello,” or “Dear X” is good etiquette. Otherwise, if you launch into your email without a greeting or introduction you risk being perceived as impolite or impatient. Tip #4: Ask permission before forwarding another person’s email correspondence. Even if you’re confident the other person wouldn’t mind if you forward their email to someone else, it’s proper etiquette to check first, so you don’t risk violating their trust. Tip #5: Reply to emails in a timely fashion. If you know in advance you can’t give an email the attention it deserves, at the moment, give the sender a quick heads-up that you have received their email but haven’t had time to review it yet. Where some people seem to struggle is when they use email to deliver complex, emotional or controversial messaging. Unfortunately, since there isn’t a warm voice accompanying the message, or a handshake sealing a deal, email messaging can easily be misinterpreted, leading to sometimes painful consequences, for both the sender and the receiver email brief, and to the point, and you’ll also increase your chances of getting a timely reply. Tip #2: Take the time to ensure your subject line accurately reflects the contents and nature of your email. This will go a long way to ensure that your email gets the attention and consideration it deserves. Tip #3: Be as concise as possible. Your recipients will appreciate it if you keep your Tip #6: Send personal emails from your non-work account. Sending personal emails from work is generally “frowned upon” in business, but occasionally we all need to send a personal email during working hours. In this instance, use a web-based email account such as Yahoo or Hotmail. Tip #7: Remember that your business email, both the address and all correspondence, is the property of the company you work for. Anything you’ve ever sent or received–even if you’ve deleted it–could potentially be retrieved from the system by a database administrator at any time. Tip #8: Use the blind carbon copy (BCC) function when you send a bulk email. Some people consider having their email address exposed to a long list of strangers an invasion of privacy. Tip #9: Always proofread email before sending! Check for spelling, edit awkward sentences and soften message tone. Delete unnecessary text (previous strings, if replying to an email) unless they are relevant to the conversation. Tip #10: Wait until after you’ve proofread your message to enter in email addresses. Hitting the “send” button at the wrong moment can be both embarrassing and disastrous!!

Make your opinions, suggestions and comments heard by getting in touch now!! [email protected] Corporate Communications Department Contact Mrs. Dhanya 44469878 - Fax: 44433778 21 Interview without limits. It will extend from a GM level and go lower to the lowest ranks reaching, lets say someone who does a very small job. Our focus includes every one. So we are talking about a development objective that spreads through 10 different layers. In FMCG we are talking about 15 job categories. How many people will be reached by the programme? The total staff of the FMCG is 800 people. This number grows around 10% every year and I can say without hesitation the program will reach every single one of them. What does People for Tomorrow consists of? Are there phases of the programme? Mr. Nabil Mourad COO - FMCG The Dot is delighted to bring you an interview with the head of our FMCG Sector, Nabil Mourad. FMCG has a reputation for launching innovative programmes and in this edition Nabil gives us a glimpse of People For Tomorrow, FMCG's latest and most innovative project yet. 22 “This program is for everyone. It will reach and develop every single employee.” go from classroom to one on one coaching. As I said this will effect and reach everyone in the organization. In addition to that we are going to develop a set of tools to be able to evaluate people properly and have feedback on how people are progressing. Step number four is which will run in parallel to all steps is the right compensation, benefits, motivation, people retention one category because we have people with different needs. We will have dedicated training programs for every job category. So can we can tell every single FMCG employee that their turn will come? Yes we can do that 100%. Its not like any project that is merely on paper. The entire senior management team of FMCG is all involved in this programme. We have a responsibility because we know this will be rolled out to the rest of the Group. So as pioneers we have to make sure that it works effectively. Why now? Tell us about FMCG's latest initiative the "People For Tomorrow" Programme. How was it born? At FMCG when we say tomorrow, we are looking into the future. We consider tomorrow as 10 years from now. Like say 2022. So we brain stormed at an offsite meeting held at The Torch hotel 50 FMCG managers were there. At that gathering we were all in agreement that - business environment will change in 10 years. We will be called to do business differently with our clients and principals - the trade, support functions with internal operations will change. In fact even our customers will change. Technology will be different. So in this new environment, we faced the fact that we will need people with a different set of skills and competencies. We accepted and admitted that the people of today will likely be unable to cope. That was our starting point. We had a strong desire that said "If the environment changes, let's make sure the people we have will also be able to adapt, and become effective in handling that new environment. We want to make sure that our people are ready for tomorrow" That's how our People for Tomorrow program was born. What are the objectives behind it? The beauty of the objectives lies in the fact that this program is not about a new structure or about new policies or procedures. This program is about our people. Our objective is developing our people. Making them equipped, capable and ready for tomorrow. Investing in our people - without borders, "Business environment will change in 10 years... We will need people with a different set of skills & competencies... We want to make sure that our people are ready for tomorrow" The process will start with an assessment. That's a step where our people's current competencies and capabilities will be assessed. That step is already in progress. We have assigned one GM to handle each step of our four step process. We have developed the tools to assess every employee by job category. So every job has its own set of skills and competencies. At this stage we will also assess the needs our employees have. Simultaneously we will develop a picture where each employee will be placed on a sort of a format that will show where our 800 people are. At what level are they performing? This placement will easily show us the top performers and poor performers. And all the people in between. Second step is identifying training needs. These training needs will have one goal: to equip the employee to advance. The top performers will also be given more of a chance to progress. It’s a process of placing the right people at the right position and highlight the extremely poor performers. So that's step two. Once we have done that we go into learning and development which is a mega project. This is to train and develop the 800. The training can and talent acquisition. At the highest we have a program called the Star programme which identifies the stars on board who will truly become the leaders of tomorrow. Is there any time limit for this program? There are certain parts of the project which are now in progress like the people assessments. Certain parts will finish in 2013. But as is to be expected some programs will be ongoing. Like the training and development aspect. We cannot say we have trained and developed all our people. So training and development is on going. It is worth mentioning that the Operating Board has decided to pilot this programme in FMCG and after that roll it out to the rest of the Ali Bin Ali Group. Will it reach all the employees? Yes. I will give an example. Let's start with an example of junior people. We have at least 150 merchandisers in FMCG and we have another 150 van salesmen. We have special programs for merchandisers, for training and development and special programs for van salesman. We will not put all the trainees in one room and in Well as a matter of fact I think we are late in starting such an initiative. We waited because we needed certain ground realities to be in place. Even to start an effort like this you need the retention of the right people. We had to be in a position to retain talent and attract Facts & Figures about FMCG FMCG has 80 principals.

Why don't you give green eats a try? Everyone knows veggies are a must in any healthy diet — the phrase “eat your greens” has been drilled into us since childhood. Even if you’re not a fan of dark green produce (we recommend you give it a second chance), you can still reap tons of health benefits from a variety of green veggies & fruits. Read on and see why the rest of your pantry will go green with envy. 30 1. Avocados: Protect Your eyes Avocados do contain a lot of fat (about 23 grams in a medium-sized fruit), but it's the cholesterollowering monounsaturated kind that nutrition experts love. Avocados also contain lutein, an antioxidant that protects eye health, and they're rich in vitamin E. Research shows that people who get the most vitamin E from their diet (not supplements) have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease. Avocados are a wonderfully versatile addition to salads, tacos, soups, and sandwiches 2. Nopales: Lower Your Blood Sugar Also known as nopalitos or prickly pear, they’re a type of cactus leaf packed with fiber as well as vitamin C and other diseasefighting antioxidants. Nopales are an especially healthy option for people with diabetes; research shows the cactus leaves can lower blood sugar levels. 3. Kale: Fight Cancer Kale belongs to the powerhouse family of greens known as cruciferous veggies, a fancy word for the cabbage family. All cruciferous vegetables contain cancerfighting plant compounds and vitamin C. Kale in particular also has bone-boosting vitamin K, vision- and immune-boosting vitamin A, and even antiinflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. 4. Kiwi: Fill Up on Fiber Research shows kiwifruit is surprisingly nutrient- dense. According to the California Kiwifruit Commission, this fuzzy green fruit provides 230 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C (almost twice that of an orange), more potassium than a banana, and 10 percent of the recommended daily allowances of vitamin E and folate. It’s also a good source of filling fiber. Slice some kiwi into your cereal, yogurt, or salad for a refreshing health boost. 5. edamame: Cut Your Cholesterol These soybeans are a longtime Japanese diet staple. A complete plantbased protein, edamame is a good protein source for vegetarian and vegan diets. While some experts caution that you should avoid soy supplements and processed soy foods because soy’s estrogen-like effects may contribute to health problems, whole soy foods like edamame are a smart and healthy choice. When eaten in place of fatty meat, soy may lower cholesterol by reducing saturated fat intake. 6. Green Tea: Try a Health Super Hero Reams of studies have deemed green tea — with its potent antioxidants — a health panacea; it’s been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and more. Steep a cup in the morning to start your day on a superhealthy note. and antibacterial properties. Snip some leaves into salads, pasta, or any Italian dish. 8. Seaweed: Get Your Minerals Here Seaweed — another Japanese cuisine mainstay — is gaining popularity in the West, in part because it's chockfull of minerals. Seaweed is a solid source of iodine (essential for thyroid health), packs a healthy dose of iron, and has unique antiinflammatory and anti-viral properties. 7. Basil: Calm Inflammation 9. Green Beans: Herbs — loaded with vitamins and antioxidants — are underrated health foods. Basil in particular is a good source of vitamin K and iron; fresh basil leaves also boast anti-inflammatory Stabilize Your Blood Sugar Also called string beans, green beans are a common side dish in Southern cooking. They’re loaded with fiber, which can help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar, making them an excellent choice for people with diabetes. for a healthy dose of inulin — a “prebiotic” that promotes digestive health — and is high in fiber (about 3 grams per cup) and protein (4 to 5 grams per cup). 10. Green Pepper: Load Up on Antioxidants Colorful red, yellow, and orange peppers may get more health accolades for their cancer-fighting lycopene, but green peppers can certainly hold their own. They’re a good source of many important nutrients, including vitamin C, beta carotene (a type of vitamin A), folate, and vitamin K. Dip them in hummus for a healthy snack, add them to salads for extra crunch. “When Diet is Wrong Medicine is of No Use, When Diet is Correct Medicine is of No Need” – Ayurvedic Proverb 11. Asparagus: eat Right for Your Gut This springtime vegetable is rich in vitamins K, C, A, and folate; it also has a number of anti-inflammatory nutrients. Asparagus is famous GO GREEN for better health 31 dTrotter t Games the TOP5 Tourist Missing Number Attractions in Brazil One of the world’s most captivating places, Brazil is South America’s giant, a dazzling country of powdery white-sand beaches, pristine rain forests and wild, rhythmfilled metropolises. Brazil’s attractions extend from enchanting, frozen-in-time colonial towns to dramatic landscapes of red-rock canyons, thundering waterfalls and idyllic tropical islands. Brazil offers big adventures for travellers with budgets large and small. There’s horseback riding in the Pantanal, kayaking flooded forests in the Amazon, ascending rocky cliff tops to breathtaking views, whale-watching off the coast, surfing stellar breaks off palm-fringed beaches and snorkeling crystal-clear rivers or coastal reefs – all part of the great Brazilian experience. Christ the Redeemer Statue - Rio de Janeiro Towering over Rio de Janeiro, atop the Corcovado mountain, the Christ Redeemer statue is 125 feet (38 m) tall, including the pedestal. The pedestal contains a chapel large enough for 150 worshipers. The Christ Redeemer statue was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and carved by French sculptor Paul Landowski. The Christ Redeemer statue took five years to construct and was inaugurated on October 12, 1931. In 2007, the Christ Redeemer statue was named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Devotees flock to the site to get a sense of the peace and hope it provides, and ordinary tourists approach it to appease their curiosity regarding the spirituality that this statue evokes on most people. Once in Rio, you could get a taxi that will bring 32 Congratulations to the winners you straight to the top of the mountain where Christ awaits. But if you want to take a more scenic route, then you need to go to Rua Cosme Velho 513 to purchase tickets for the train that will take you uphill. square kilometers of land. The majority of the forest is situated within Brazil, and thousands of people venture there to explore them every year. The Amazon jungle was nominated as one of the new seven wonders of nature, and it is no surprise why when you see them. Within the Amazon jungle, there are some incredible plants and flowers that you will see nowhere else in the world. There are a staggering 2500 different species of tree in the rain forest and over 40,000 different plant species. Alongside the most amazing plants, there are a huge Iguazu Falls Taller than Niagara Falls, twice as wide with 275 cascades spread in a horseshoe shape over nearly two miles of the Iguazu River. Four times the width of Niagara Falls, Iguazu Falls are divided by various islands into separate waterfalls. One of the best known is Devil's Throat or Gargantua del Diablo with its perpetual spray high over the falls. Other notable falls are the San Martin, Bossetti, and Bernabe Mendez. The falls are part of a singular practically virgin jungle ecosystem protected by Argentine and Brazilian national parks on either side of the cascades. Two thirds of the falls are on the Argentinian side of the river where you can also tour Iguazú National Park where there are jungle trails and bird hikes. The Amazon Rainforest The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most spectacular places on earth and covers an incredible six million number of exotic animals, insects and birds. There is an overwhelming 2.5 million different insect species within the Amazon jungle, and in one tree alone, there was recorded to have 50 different species of ant. Butterflies can be seen flying throughout the Amazon rain forest, and there are 7500 different species. Chapada Diamantina National Park Known as Chapada Diamantina, this scenery mountain range runs north and south through the state of Bahia,) offers some of the most amazing landscapes you can find in the country. Most of the attractions at the Chapada are the trails to caves, hills and waterfalls that have as departure point the city of Lençóis. Everything in the Chapada is wonderful, but the waterfalls deserve special attention. The most famous is the Cachoeira da Fumaça, the highest fall in the country, where the water does not have sufficient volume to overcome the drop of 380 meters and the force of the wind cooperates in transforming the water into vapour - a real spectacle Aquario Natural The crystalline waters of the Aquário Natural are the main attraction of the Bonita Bay Ecological Reserve. The diversity of the river´s fauna and flora makes the tourist feel literally within an aquarium. The ideal is to snorkel down the river, but there is also the option to accompany the group on a support boat. The pool of the main house is also used to educate visitors about the use of mask and snorkel. Besides the aquarium, the Trail of animals is another unforgettable attraction of the reserve, through which animals, like rheas, alligators, deer, wolves and anacondas, can be seen. Equally clear and colorful is a drift along the nearby Rio Sucuri (reached by a one-hour hike) where it’s hard to decide whether to look down through the blue-green waters or up at the lush pink and purple stands of orchids lining the riverbank.

Sormani Pearl “Queen Moms on Mother’s Day” GET, SeT & GOAL Mahalakshmi R Media & Publishing Division In today’s world, we must have heard the terms setting goals and realizing your dreams innumerable times in professional and personal fronts. In the name of training, seminars, conferences, this topic is widely discussed and presented in an interesting manner by various renowned speakers. But how far, do people in general apply this in their life? I have seen my acquaintances, friends, mentioning to me that it all looks 34 NTH YOUR ROAD TO SUCCESS nice in conferences and presentations but in actual life, it is not. A general technique or principle cannot apply to every individual’s dreams and aspirations. But I beg to differ here. I strongly believe it is just not the right technique required to achieve the goal but the right mindset to accept the things as they are, analyse and then arrive at a clear defined goal that will predetermine your action to achieve that. Success in today’s modern industrial world is linked to the capacity of achieving long term goals. Whether it is long term or short term, achieving your desired goals or dreams can be possible only from any or all of the following plans of action: 1- Make a step by Step Plan. 2- Motivate yourself by drawing inspiration from the person or role model who has achieved his or her well defined goals. 3- Share your goals with those close to you, that will increase your motivation. 4- Analyse and Visualize what if you don’t achieve your goals. 5- Analyse and Visualize what if you achieve your goals. 6- Replace the emerging negative thoughts with positive thoughts and confidence. 7- Make Yourself feel good when you see the progress towards your goal. 8- Have a constant check on your City Center “Design your own Mother’s Day Cookie Cake” progress path. 9- Visualize how your life would be once you achieve your defined goal. These are not just plans of action but the inspirational / motivational steps which have been tried, tested and proved to be successful while implementing. Be it a layman car mechanic or a renowned personality like Albert Einstein, the basic ingredient to achieve success is that to belief in self, your dreams /goals and be inspirational in every step to achieve what you want to.
