There is a blood bank inside the Tata Motors premises in
Jamshedpur (there are blood banks in other plants as well).
If you donate a bottle of blood, not only you are given off
for that day but you can also avail an extra leave within 7 days of
donating the blood. Employees use it to extend their holidays.
So, there is no shortage of leaves ever!! Needless to say,
Tata loses several man-hours through this policy.
Once while having a conversation with the employees of the company,
Ratan Tata was asked a question (by a senior official),
"People take undue advantage of the policy.
We lose several man-hours due to this. The blood is replenished
within 24 hours, you know. Why to give that extra holiday
within 7 days of donating blood?"
Ratan Tata smiled. He always does.
And then came a calm reply.
"Encouragement is something I don't need to teach you.
Only a few people donate because they want to. (Talking about man-hours)
We may be losing some man-hours doing that but
have you ever thought the number of man-hours that
gets added to the person's life who receives that blood
in necessity? I am ready to sacrifice 16 man-hours for the better good."
