Explanation / Answer

Yes, this can be applied to my current place of employment with a significant positive outcome.

I work for an equity research firm that provides both fundamental analysis (using different valuation techniques) as well as quantitative analysis (using quantitative and statistical models) services to our clients with regards to different companies that are listed in stock exchanges in USA. The work done by me and my colleagues is difficult, involving analysis and interpretation of reams of information and reams of data. One important point to be noted about my organization is that team work is very important as equity analysts are divided into teams as per their area of expertise. So there are teams for the capital goods sector, team for the financial services industry, team for the small cap stocks etc.

When the situation of the JM Family Enterprise will be applied to my place of employment the outcome will definitely be positive. First of all when employees are together involved in different types of physical activities they easily get rid of their work place related stress in an effective manner. Physical activities and exercises will enable employees to free their mind of all problems and hence get a fresh perspective at doing things and that too with a renewed energy and focus. Secondly and more importantly when employees take part in physical activities as a team then this will help them to develop tangible relationship with fellow employees and colleagues. This will positively reflect on the overall efficiency, productivity and performance of the different teams that are in place within the organization.
