Why the blog?

You must have been wondering -after all why this blog?
My aim is only to keep myself connected with my colleagues. It is true that we officially communicate through the hierarchy of the organisation structure. But sometimes while communication through that channel either there are delays or the formality curbs the true communication.
Primarily I would like to take advantage of your experiences in the field and your assessment of our customer service, systems and host of other issues. This will help me in sometimes clarifying the perceptions of the top management and sometimes use your experiences and fine tune the policies in overall interest of the bank.
You are aware that Andhra bank is at threshold of growth. I say this because we are now on a technology platform which is one of the best in the industry. We can now grow from infancy to adult hood. It is true that we are a good bank in the sense that we have least NPAs, we have a dedicated workforce, we are still perceived as a bank growing with relatively slower pace.
We have introduced several new products in last couple of months and we are going to introduce in days to come. All this will be useful if each one of us is committed to the resolve of growing faster than the industry in coming years. The bank is also conscious that without the involvement of Human Resources the success is meaningless. It is precisely this reason that I thought let me open another channel of communication with you directly which will not be dependent on the hierarchical structure. Of course I would like this blog to be used from really serious issues and not the trivial/minor ones.
