SAILING THROUGH THE WAVES OF UNCERTAINTIES Undeniably, the business establishments across the world, regardless of their strengths and industry types, have already been drastically affected by this unprecedented pandemic. With soothing of the situation, one of the most overwhelming challenges the businesses are struggling with is a transference of their respective workforce to implement a workfrom-home policy and ensure continuity of workflow.

But, even amidst the glooms and dooms of the global pandemic, VIKRAN kept its calm and forged ahead with utmost dedication and determination. Here and there, the workforce was schooled in multiple ways to curtail the risk of the viral outbreak. From a strong business contingency plan implementing flexible business hours and work-from-home arrangements to the deployment of an array of solutions to conduct remote work, VIKRAN has effortlessly managed to combat the unprecedented crisis. In this regard, Rakesh says, “Platforms such as Google Hangout, Skype, and Zoom have made it possible to allow employees to communicate and work online efficiently, without compromising their safety at this time. But the availability of technologies and our prompt responses in the adaptation of alternative modes for continuity of work by some of the sectors have successfully managed to counter the negative effects triggered by the outbreak of coronavirus.”

Moreover, the prudency of the company officials allowed them to take various measures in reducing the spread of the fatal virus and maintain the effective continuity of the business operations accordingly.

A GLANCE OVER THE FUTURE OUTLOOKS VIKRAN reckons on the fact the evolving paradigm should be dealt with a rational approach that does not disrupt existing business processes. Undoubtedly, a business can adapt to thrive in a rapidly wavering, enhancing competitive and incessantly uncertain world.

“While the future or the pace of developments cannot be predicted with certainty, tracking several key trends can aid companies to prepare for the future,” quotes CMD. From the application of the landscape perspective of the internally developed EPC New Generation Reference Architecture (NGRA), the gaps in technology and the business model has started to widen. Soon, they will bring forth a few solutions that can be prepared by partnering with technology specialists that they believe will become their key differentiator to bring about the transformation while ensuring business continuation.

LIFESTYLE

Supreme Fashion Accessory Ashwathy Nair | Business Connect

Sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory, almost worn by everyone, and without them most wouldn’t leave home. When the sun is glaring off the town and you pick your sunglasses out of your back, once you lip them on, you instantly change your appearance.

Reasons Why Sunglasses Acts More Than Just An Accessory It’s no longer a medical necessity, just a style need. The dreary vision-correcting computer machine revamped surprisingly into a cool and swanky faddish accessory. The rage is so strong that, just for the sake of fashion even people with perfect vision wear lenses.

www.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 3 | Issue 8 | March 2021 | INDIA

26

Here are some reasons why, before you head out the door, you’ll want to catch those shades:

PROTECT EYES FROM UV RAYS One of the most significant advantages of wearing sunglasses is that they shield the eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation and the fragile skin around them. Exposure to UV can lead to cataracts and cause glaucoma symptoms worse.

Moreover, about to 10 per cent of skin cancers are found near the eyes. Choose glasses that cover the eyes entirely and make sure that they have 100 per cent UVA and UVB protection.

PROTECT EYES FROM GLARE Sunglasses not only let you see better when it’s light outside, but they also decrease the amount you need to squint by the cutting back on the sun. Squinting will lead to headaches, exhaustion and eye pressure, as well as the formation over time of fine lines in the skin around the eyes. When you squint, it’s also difficult to see clearly, which can lead to injuries, particularly when driving. Maximum glare safety is offered by polarized sunglasses.

DARK ADAPTATION After you are exposed to intense sunshine, sunglasses allow you to refocus your vision. If you will not adapt for long stretches after being exposed to the sun, your night vision may be impaired. You’ll find it hard to see the road while you are riding at night. Riding becomes risky when you haven’t been wearing shades.

Some Top Sunglasses Brands RAY-BAN A debut back in the 1930s, the Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses made their airline flights more popular, and the legends of the era were pilots. The Italian-based company offer polarised lenses to shield the eyes from sunlight. In the 1980s, with the release of films such as “Top Gun” and “Risky Business,” these glasses gained attention.

MAUI JIM In the early 1980s, Maui Jim sunglasses made their debut at a hotel pool in Maui, Hawaii. By 1988, the mainland was just starting to see them. This sunglasses are built for males and females alike. Many of the models have polarised lenses of varying colours that shield against the sunshine glare.

VERSACE In 1978 Versace was started, this Italian fashion house made its debut in Milan, Italy. Versace sunglasses are known for their ornate, female-centred logo, and their wrap around and aviator styles are common. Much of the lenses are polarised to shield the eyes. Some women’s styles involve ornate and lavish details.

Communication is one of the most important qualities for a good leader and a crucial element in establishing a strong partnership with staff, consumers, and suppliers alike. Excellent leadership depends on successful engagement techniques to deliver a consistent message to the organization. It is important for any effective leader to be frank and connect freely and frankly, as this helps workers to appreciate the broader picture and how their individual actions add to the aims and priorities of the organization. The leader’s confidence in speaking—either oneon-one or to a broad audience—is another main component of outstanding communication.

The willingness to have awkward conversations is the No. 1 quality that all great leaders ought to have. Communication is often highly based on the sound and expression of the body and will go a long way to convey the message as expected and not leave space for confusion. So always sound confident, look pleasing, and ask tough questions to self assess your business progress.

The Humble Being Behind TCFM’s Phenomenal Success Indranil Roy | Business Connect

T

he facility management sector is rapidly growing in India. Since the last decade, the dynamics of this service has aided sustainable growth across industries.

Whilst ensuring the safety and hygiene of employees, the reduction of carbon footprints during project development to transition too is noteworthy. Constructions appear when an architect translates aesthetic ideas into reality that represents luxury and panache. Hiring a professional facility management firm ensures the dream lasts the sands of time. But, behind the optimacy are ingenious minds, who oversee day-to-day operations and uphold the culture of a business. In simple words, it is a COO (Chief Operations Officer), who shoulders everyday operations to ensure overall excellence. COO is usually the second-incommand in a business foundation and undoubtedly one of the highest designations. While other labels like CMO, CTO, CFO, etc. have a focused responsibility, a COO has to oversee all of them. In other words, COO can be compared - to the Chief Of Staff in Naval Command!

But despite having such a prominent role, COOs are often perceived with ambiguities regarding their duties.

Being the second-in-command, he needs to carry out the CEOs decision and ensure every idea and concept sees development. Business Connect Magazine recognizes the day-to-day ordeals of a COO and through its upcoming edition, “COO of the Year 2021”, aims to empower their importance. Featured below is the story of Anand GD, COO of TCFM (Technique Control Facility Management), one of the fastest-growing Facility Management providers in Pan India. Having around 2 decades of experience in overseeing operations, Anand has been integral in TCFM’s expansion that grows over new business horizons.

A PAN-INDIA ORGANISATION TCFM is a 100% owned subsidiary of Embassy Services Pvt. Ltd. (ESPL), one of the largest and trusted names in Facility Management with a lineage of over 25 years. TCFM took its first step in 1995 in Europe and with the emerging opportunities forayed into the Indian Market in 2009. Since then, ESPL and TCFM have worked in tandem to provide manpower solutions to a large clientele. Considering the expertise, scalability, and forecasted demand for professional FM services, ESPL bought a 100% stake in TCFM in 2016. From there on, TCFM’s journey has only been onward and upward.

The Company is serving over 150 clients spanning an area of over 70 Million sq. ft. Pan India. Its services address all

genres of real estate in commercial, residential, co-working, hospitality, retail, education, medical, energy, industrial & warehousing segments. It has employed over 7000 professionals - trained on severe modules that build competency in housekeeping, technical & engineering services, disinfection, sanitization, pest control, and landscaping amongst others.

TCFM is also technologically integrated for its day-to-day operations which gives them an edge over competitors and allows the pursuit of FM with a data-centric, predictive, and prescriptive model of operational delivery.

people well enough so they can leave, “Train treat them well enough so they don’t want to!

GUIDED BY AN AMBITIOUS LEADER

- Richard Branson.

”

The phrase summarizes how Anand pursues the people management ordeal for TCFM. He believes that empowering the employees with education, mechanized tools, and upskilling programs allows for a steadfast workforce. As the COO, he supervises all the administrative and daily operations at par with the core values. Simultaneously, he implements his expertise in mechanization and automation of multi-faceted processes. Anand’s long-standing exposure has helped in keeping TCFM at the forefront of providing safety, hygiene, and business continuity at spaces. Post pandemic the demand for Professional FM has become more evident, Anand’s leadership will guide TCFM to seek and procure this demand.

His instrumental leadership has rewarded TCFM with a 7000+ manpower spread across 14 cities, from a base of 3000, that too within just one year of 201920. The workforce is exceptionally diverse and comes from all walks of life. While the core team consists of experts in their field, many of their staff on the ground come from very simple backgrounds with simple qualifications. But, their USP lies in the ability to learn and grow. TCFM, not only provides the job, but also an education and a uniform – all of which contribute to deserved respect. What makes the organization more complacent is that the value of the person is constantly communicated and recognized through regular R&R programs and platforms. This makes everyone in the TCFM family feel grateful and look forward to their day at work.

FACTORS KEEPING THEM AT THE FOREFRONT The facility management industry is a very conventional business formed upon conventional values. Here, it is important to adhere to the changing compliance norms and standards to be at par with the global market. TCFM has a full-fledged SSG team (Specialist Services Group), which keeps the Company in touch with compliances and statutory bodies. It manages properties that are certified by global bodies such as LEED, IGBC, BSC, CII, etc., thereby adhering to globally acceptable levels for processes and best practices in Facility management.

R&D plays an integral part in keeping the Company updated with operational innovations. Deep investment in research and development helps them with the automation and mechanization of services. Utilizing customized technology tools enables TCFM with a predictive and prescriptive methodology to manage large volumes of assets spread across large areas. This includes monitoring assets and their consumables such as diesel, energy, etc., to tracking manpower and the status of customer complaints. These technical competencies allow clients and facility managers to run entire operations over a tab from anywhere across the globe with high proficiency.

A VIRTUOUS WORK CULTURE Just like its prolific business model, TCFM has a wholesome work culture. “When the intentions of respect and welfare are are pursued right from the start as the founding values of the organization, it coherently resonates to reach the end customer with the same intention”, asserts Anand. Since its responsibility encircles health and wellbeing to customers, the ethic helps maintain a 98% client retention rate. Also, TCFM has well-defined tasks and KRAs formed upon analysis of data, which helps them set realistic targets. “Our motivation strategy is simple - Don’t designate tasks that are not achievable, ensure that tasks given are completed, scrutinize when not, provide more support and training so that it can be”, acknowledges Anand.

The Process is repeated and remarkable performances are rewarded accordingly.

Employees further enjoy access to education, upskilling opportunities, and growth. This allows them to feel content and look forward to a long career at TCFM.

A HELPING HAND TO SOCIETY While upscaling the efficiency of companies through FM solutions, TCFM keeps a hawk’s eye on societal concerns. It provides routine housekeeping and sanitation to over 17 govt. schools in Karnataka and sponsors underprivileged children in Govt. schools. After these children complete graduation in the affiliated institutes, they get an opportunity to work at TCFM upon completing a onemonth training program. TCFM stands proud for having 5 such students from the two training courses conducted. They are now employees having a good pay slab coupled with a respectable designation. TCFM also worked actively with the BMC Mumbai on a drone disinfection drive to eradicate mosquito breeding grounds and trained the govt. on efficient housekeeping of the COVID relief centers.

SHOWERED WITH ACCOLADES AND MILESTONES Over the period, TCFM has attained phenomenal growth and laid several landmarks on its path. In 2017, it delved into Mechanized cleaning services and in the next two years expanded its services Pan India. In 2020, it entered into aerial disinfection & fumigation services raising the bar to Specialist Engineering Services. The year span 2019-20 has been spellbinding for it achieved a CAGR of 110%! TCFM has also been featured under ‘Top 20 Housekeeping Service Providers amidst COVID-19’ by the Corporate Review Magazine in 2020. Starting 2021 with a bang, TCFM was awarded the ‘Fastest Growing FM Company’ by iNFHRA, at the 2021 Workplace Partner Awards.

LANDMARKS THAT LAY AHEAD

With technology assisted manpower becoming the obvious trend that epitomizes efficiency, TCFM is leading the arena with competent innovation and proptech tools that drive excellence in operational delivery. With time, it aims to integrate more of digitalization and contactless processes that drive efficiency, safety and scale. “Our vision for 2021 is to double our manpower count across the country which is currently at over 7000.

Sometimes these may be clogged or infected. This can create various complication like Fever, Weakness, Fatigue, Cough, Headache, and Snoring problem.

If you are a chocolate lover then you have to say ‘Bye! Bye! Chocolate’ sugar and yeast containing foods trigger excess mucus production in sinuses.

Add 3 drops of pine or rosemary oil to a steaming hot bowl of water with 3 drops of peppermint and 2 drops of eucalyptus oil, or add 3 drops of rosemary with 1 drop of thyme and peppermint oil. Drape a towel around the back of your head with your face down above the water and inhale the steam, which can help clear a blocked nasal passage.

• TURMERIC (HALDI) AND GINGER ROOT Turmeric root is one of the wonderful spices, it’s widely used in India, which is fragrant.

Turmeric provides not only natural anti-inflammatory properties, but it is also rich in antioxidants. This mixture will help to release mucus from clogged nasal passages, relieve sinus pressure, and make you feel immediately better when mixed with spicy ginger root and brewed in hot tea.

• SOUP Studies believe that the consumption of soup helps in easing congestion. You can pick from a variety of recipes and choose your choice, from chicken soup to potato soup with fresh herbs. It is the steam that helps clear the sinuses, mixed with a lot of good ingredients.

For people experiencing sinus symptoms, it is important to understand what those symptoms are. Otolaryngologist therapy can be extremely helpful to understand your symptoms better and to understand what treatment options are available. A person with both acute and chronic sinusitis should take the steps properly. Taking care of yourself can significantly increase the quality of life and help you live more comfortably.

“Think To Ink”

Indranil Roy | Business Connect

When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1400s, it revolutionised the widespread availability of books. A few centuries later, in 1990, digital printing once again transformed the landscape. With technological advancements disrupting the way we work, companies need to adapt and meet customer demands quickly and efficiently. One company that has risen to the occasion is Jasra Graphics Pvt Ltd. What started as a traditional pre-press bureau, quickly evolved into one that provides complete digital printing and spatial designing solutions.

DIGITAL PRINTING – FOUR DECADES IN THE MAKING In 1972, Mr Ravi Jasra, a technologist by profession, recognised the need to support industries with his prowess. With that ambitious endeavour, he established Jasras and paved the way for the company to become India’s first pre-press house. Today, Jasras is known as one of the most recognisable and largest full-service digital production firms. They are the benchmark for quality in the digital printing space countrywide. Their 10,000 sq. ft. production facility, located centrally in Mumbai, boasts state-of-the-art machinery, which serves the needs of marketing and advertising businesses alike. From concept & design support and page composition & production to digital output and direct-to-press technologies, they take care of everything with their signature brand of technical and quality expertise.

When looking at Jasras’ portfolio, it is apparent that they have steadily built an enviable reputation, both at home and globally. This is due to their unmatched services and philosophy of viewing themselves as an extension of their client’s business. Marketers, advertisers, publishers, printers, graphic designers, and many more rely on them to bring their creations to life, or what everyone at Jasras says, “From think to ink!” Their clients include Reliance Group, Ascentis Group, Samhi Hotels, Godrej, ICICI Bank, Deutsche Bank, Mumbai Indians and The Phoenix Mills Ltd (High Street Phoenix), to name a few in sectors such as retail, FMCG, technology, healthcare, education, banking and finance and entertainment.

When looking back at what lead to their unparalleled success, Mr Jasra believes, “it is a combination of clearly understanding our client’s requirements and by working closely with them to provide solutions.”

Jasras works with the client at every step of the way, from concept & design and composition to highdefinition production and output. No task is too big and quality is never undermined. They are equipped and always ready to see complex, large-scale design and production challenges through to successful completion. And it is this determination and grit that has kept customers coming back, some for more than 30 years!

and grown up here, moving up the ranks to positions of greater responsibility, including his sons. And what holds them together? A shared sense of community and commitment, which goes beyond the call of duty and an ethos that brings a rare aesthetic sensibility to every aspect. Take for example a piece of graphic design; this is not done in a vacuum. From brainstorming to coming up with a concept that works for the client, designing a creative that resonates with them, executing it with precision and eventually printing it to scale, all the processes have multiple people and teams collaborating for every minute detail, leaving each person feeling that they are part of the process.

PAVING THE WAY FOR NEW TRANSFORMATIONS

Today, even as new generations of people and technology set the pace at Jasras, the belief is that good old-fashioned human ingenuity and skill, combined with the latest technology, makes the decisive difference. The environment and the philosophy at Jasras is one where people and technology share a powerful symbiotic and synergistic relationship. This coexistence is the critical difference. The distinct and perceptible synchronicity can be seen in the manner in which Jasras works; the agility with which they respond to the most complex challenges as well as in the final product itself. “We care for your image because we care for ours!” It is not just a motto but also a true belief.

All this success and goodwill has encouraged Jasras to remain ahead of the curve. With innovations and technologies always on the brink, they have decided to keep pace with technology and continue to upgrade. Just one of these upgrades is their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint.

They are a green company that uses sustainable, ecofriendly practices. The reduced use of energy, water and natural resources means that both the company and environment are healthy and taken care of. They believe that with advancements, technologies and processes, they will be able to increase productivity and reduce costs, all to ensure that their customers remain elated–the ultimate goal.

When the pandemic hit, Jasras, like most companies worldwide, saw their business shut for a while. But this didn’t dampen their spirits. When they realised that the lockdown wasn’t going to ease up anytime soon, they identified alternate working arrangements and changed their working structure. They stayed in touch with all their customers, people and suppliers to communicate the next steps. Jasras invested in scenario-planning strategies for different environments and ordered protective gear when everyone could be back at the office. All these measures have ensured that neither work nor safety is compromised.

We enthusiastically embrace rapidly advancing technologies and pride ourselves on our innovation capabilities.

At Jasras, the focus is on constantly evolving our strengths. We continuously endeavour to provide exceptional solutions for the needs of industry by embracing revolutionary change across our services.

BUILT TO LAST

When looking at the next four decades, Jasras aims to be the most technically competent processing and printing house in the country. While the technology is up-to-date, it is evident that at Jasras, it is not just the physical technology, but the esoteric one as well, which will be vital and relevant, making way for the future.

Technology can always be copied, but the powerful symbiotic and synergistic relationship that people and technology share can’t be replicated or overtaken. The distinct and perceptible manner in which Jasras works is what ensures that they are here to stay.

“

“

ADAPTING TO THE TIMES

THE SOUL BEHIND THE DESIGNS

With all the technological advancements, one thing that will never change at Jasras is their commitment to their people. “If the most advanced technology today is at the heart of all our operations, the soul remains our team. Far more than a matter of sentiment, we truly believe that our people are our most powerful asset,” explains Mr. Jasra. Most of Jasras family have lived

Consumer tastes are ever-changing and competition is fierce. But at Jasras, they aren’t worried. They are vigilant, motivated and dedicated to continuing turning bright ideas into exceptional solutions.

10 MOST TRUSTED

1 COMPANIES 2020

Paracosma Inc Where Virtual Reality Meets with Business Reality

Kajal Dobhal | Business Connect

I

n its brand-new edition, Business Connect Magazine (BCM) presents the inside stories of a few most trusted AR/VR companies. One such company Paracosma Inc. is an AR/VR design, consulting and systems integration company that has made an exceptional mark in the relevant industry owing to its matchless services (content creation, application development, and project implementation).

In a virtual coffee session with our team, Ken Ehrhart, Founder & CEO, walked us through the company’s exclusive strategies to maintain the trust of its diverse clientele.

BCM : Please walk us through your company profile and offered products/services.

KEN EHRHART : Paracosma is an Augmented and Virtual Reality Solutions Provider founded in 2016. We offer AR/VR Application Development as well as 3D Content Creation Services, including photorealistic modeling, digital twin creation, and 360 video production and distribution. We currently have 75 employees across our US headquarters, Japan sales and technology office and Nepal development center.

BCM : Our Team has recognized Paracosma as one of the “10 Most Trusted AR/AR Companies 2021”, how do you view that selection?

KEN EHRHART : As a Solutions Provider, our business is dependent on the success of our clients, on the success of the work we do for them. In this case, Trust refers to the Trust our clients place in us to solve their business problems and deliver our services at both the highest quality and most affordable pricing. We are honored that this recognition follows on from being recognized as one of the “10 Most Trusted AR/VR Companies in 2020” and one of the “20 Most Trusted AR/VR Companies 2019”. We would be disappointed if we were not meeting this standard of Trust consistently year after year.

BCM : Some might say “Trust” is a subjective term. How do you quantify and measure Trust?

KEN EHRHART : We think the simplest way to measure customer trust is whether our clients become repeat customers. If they had a good experience with our company and the quality of our services, then they Trust that we will continue delivering on our promises and they continue as a customer. In 2018, 37% of our revenues came from repeat business with existing clients. In 2019, 78% of revenues came from repeat business.

And, in 2020, fully 97% of our business came from repeat business from existing customers. This expansion of repeat business has also been in the context of great growth. From 2019 to 2020, revenues from repeat business with existing customers increased 95%. We view this as a clear validation of the Trust our customers place in us.

.

BCM : That is remarkable. With a SAAS or other subscription business we expect to see client retention driving recurring revenue. But, it is exceptional to see a Services business in which such a high proportion of business is repeat business. Generally, it is thought that Services businesses reset to zero each year.

What is your secret to growing recurring revenue?

KEN EHRHART : Our success in growing recurring revenue comes from both the high value of our service, our high quality at low prices, but also the value, the return on investment (ROI) that our clients derive from AR, VR and other 3D solutions. As long ago as 2016, when we founded Paracosma, surveys showed that of the business enterprises that had tried AR or VR, all or virtually all of them intended to continue or increase their adoption. We find this very much to be the case, that once clients see the value of AR/VR and 3D, they accelerate their use. Once our clients begin a successful proof of concept with us, they continue to a pilot and then full deployment. Also, demand for many of our services, such as 3D model creation is often an ongoing business requirement for our clients, it is not a one-time need. In some cases, our repeat-client business scales as fast as we can hire and train artists and engineers.

BCM : When commentators assess the health of the AR or VR Industry they often look at headset sales or hit video games.

How do you view the health of the industry?

KEN EHRHART

KEN EHRHART : Years ago, I think we would have weighed some of the same factors. Even last year we saw supply-chain constraints at the start of the pandemic that reduced headset availability just when some hit games became available. Yet, by the end of 2020, the Oculus Quest 2 headset was recognized as a huge success and we have seen the Quest ecosystem expand with numerous hit games and apps. Yet, we have found our business propelled by a broader business trend. We find that businesses, technology and computing generally are undergoing a shift from 2D systems to 3D. This is reflected across all industries.

From 3D printing to self-driving cars, most sectors are enabled by moving to 3D computing. Similarly, part of our business is replacing traditional studio photography with renders of photo-realistic 3D models and entire scenes made from those models. This produces a huge ROI completely independent of the adoption of AR and VR. We are also using 3D game engines to create simulations of the real world, so we can generate synthetic images and videos for training machine-vision deep learning AI (artificial intelligence). We see business and growth opportunities well beyond AR and VR headset adoption.

CEO, Paracosma Inc. improve upon and expand upon what we have already done for our clients. We want to advance with them to the next better way of doing things.

BCM : Customer Trust is built over time. What is your value proposition for first-time clients?

KEN EHRHART : Because of our large team and 5 years of experience, we really offer a one-stop shop for AR, VR and 3D services such as modeling. We can create good looking models of food as well as the AR application to display the models to clients ordering in a restaurant. We can offer a machine maintenance AR application that seamlessly displays 3D spatial information. We can go from concept to realization for a 3D communications app. We can deliver a three-day, three-venue international film festival in VR as well as Virtual office campuses. And, no matter what service we are delivering each client will know that our goal is their long-term success, because we seek to have their repeat business over many years and many projects.

BCM : How do these big changes in technology impact client Trust?

BCM : What is your advice for new companies and entrepreneurs just starting out? How do they build Trust?

KEN EHRHART : Every potential client has a preconceived idea of AR and VR. Often that image or vision is beyond what current technology is capable of. From our earliest customer conversations we find ourselves assessing whether or not the customer’s vision is possible. Can it be achieved with existing technology? Is it theoretically possible but needs to be developed? Will it need to wait for future innovations? Being honest about what is possible, allows us to join with our clients on a journey. We can deliver what is possible today as well as plan a roadmap that encompasses their full vision in the future. This also becomes the foundation for long-term repeatbusiness relationships, because that journey plays out over time.

Similarly, we are constantly striving to innovate and push the limits of what is possible technologically, because we want to

KEN EHRHART : Customers want to be treated with respect. Begin with Trusting your clients. Trust that they can understand the technology options and participate in choosing the best solution for their problem. Trust that they can understand why each service requires the time or money commitment you specify. Be clear about what is or is not possible. Then deliver on your promises. Clients who have found success in working with you will want to continue to build on that success, both for their business and yours. Our clients want us to be successful because they recognize that the stronger we grow the more effective we can be in meeting their needs.

Will Teaching From Behind A Mask Affect Communication & Learning

?

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, after spending so many months at home, children around the world are returning to school. Things at school won’t be as same as before, there will be a set of new rules and regulations that will be mandated to follow. One of the most important rules that would be listed at the top is to wear a mask. Masks have become the most common part of our lives now but the question arises, how children will adapt to such a new environment at schools? How will teaching and learning behind a mask affect the learning?

When the matter of communication comes, the first thing that approaches to our mind is talking through our mouths in order to create sounds and speech. However, contact actually requires a range of visual and audio signals, such as facial expressions, gestures and eye gaze, as well as speech.

Communication & Learning

The face, from which observers can quickly and easily generate a variety of readings, is one of the most important tools in human communication. The most basic type of human communication is through facial expressions.

Will children be able to adapt to this new normal of education through behind the mask?

How can face masks change the learning environment?

At school, for children, it is more convenient to retain knowledge and understand new concepts of learnings through gestures.

The way children interact and understand is through the assistance of both visual and audio sensory inputs. Although, gestures could prove helpful as teachers communicate from behind the mask, if visual speech signals are fully obscured, learning would certainly be impaired. But how, and to what extent?

Well, soon the schools will reopen and children will be back to their school life but things won’t be the same as earlier. There will be new rules, new methods of learning etc. we are all aware that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives a lot and people are trying to adapt to the new normal.

There is a widespread apprehension as the school years approach to begin.

While it remains to be seen exactly how will children be reacting to the situation where teachers will be teaching them wearing masks. The most important thing for both children and teachers is to adjust to the new normal.

The lower half of the face is obscured by masks that limit the ability to speak, perceive and imitate the gestures of those with whom we communicate. Positive emotions become less noticeable, amplifying negative emotions.

In general, emotional mimicry, contagion, and emotionality are reduced and that way the bonding between teachers and students might get disturbed.

Every child cannot adapt to communicating with masks, some children may face difficulties. For instance, children those are deaf or have some hearing issues mostly rely on lip-reading but due to the wearing of masks, they could fall behind. Teachers may have to come up with some ideas and adapt their strategies according to the needs of the students.

“Face features (such as the size and shape of the nose, the colour of the eyes, etc.) and their formation are not only used to describe faces but also to infer the emotions they convey”.
