ENSURING FREE COMMUNICATION AT THE WORK PLACE

While it is part of Mr. Jahangir’s editorial policy for SAMAA to educate its viewers on community based issues like health, education and disability, due measures have also been taken to ensure the well being of employees and ensure free flow of communication amongst the members of the organization.

A professional psychotherapist has been engaged to help resolve personal and professional issues that ultimately help to bridge the gap among different departments, their issues and individual employees’ matters. The psychotherapist makes day long visits twice a week and has a monthly meeting with Mr. Jahangir who takes personal interest in listening, consulting and inspiring practical solutions to any problems in support of his purpose to ensure a healthy work environment for his employees. The psychotherapist has been personally instructed by Mr. Jahangir to abide by the highest standards of professionalism and ensure the privacy of the employees.

In a country where psychotherapy is still associated with serious mental conditions and visits to psychiatrists are considered taboo, such measures are ground breaking in a manner that may not be appreciated by residents of more open societies.
