Kontras
Ooops did I say "Only good thing" !!! There are other things tooo.... To Start with - Location : It Just takes 2hr's of travel in the morning to office and 3hr's to travel back home.To sum it up, you will spend only 5 Hours a day travelling To and Fro to the office from the centre of the city. An added bonus would be that your cab need not be on time and you may spend only an hour waiting to leave home. *To the AIG Team at Bangalore : Think about it , you have better options with much lesser traffic in the city of Bangalore which could save valuable time for employees.I understand this could take some time or longer. But what matters is are you even giving a thought about it. -Tool's used : A software to revolutionize the world of Data Entry , A tool to define latency and immaturity but with a goal exactly contradicting: GES. I agree to the fact that what the company is trying to achieve with GES is something big. But my honest opinion would be it is not serving the purpose. From selecting the platform to construct the tool, the UI and functions carried by the tool, everything is a mess. Kindly have a look at what currently GES is been doing and validate if this is what you really wanted: a)The tool more looks like an Kinder garden application form rather than a modelling tool. Clicking one by one button to input each data. With minimal userfriendly interface. It takes about 45 Min to an hour or more to model a simple 1 location account completely, which includes sending results to UW (This is excluding Triage process).This could have been done is Max 30 Min if it was using the vendor model's. b)The tool only acts has an interface between the vendor models and the user. Basically a Data entry tool. I would like to bring to your notice that the tool does not even do this correctly. A lot of data is not being bridged correctly to the back end. This could lead to incorrect generation of results (AAL's). eg.Use of usertxt columns for sublimits in the creation of MRI has turned out to be a blunder during bridging. d)This point is to the notice of all those who are concerned about data quality and Geocoding : If the quality has reduced, GES plays a significant role in it. e) After all the pain. The PO modelling fails and when an incident ticket is raised. The response received would be "Business error", Clone the PO and Submit for modeling. The Clone option literally doesn't me clone, the analyst is required to revisit the entire PO again. After all this the analyst is penalized for Productivity. To put it together: The effect of GES has been a reduction in productivity and quality. The only thing that has increased is the time that the analysts stretch late nights to help the UW. I am pretty sure everyone is aware of this. But none is ready to accept. I understand there is a lot of investment involved. What I am trying to put up is, try investing on the tool wisely after revisiting all the aspects of the tool again. It is never late. Change if we had gone wrong somewhere in the process. Even if it were to be the first step. I am for the Idea but not for how it is being implemented. I wish all the success to GES. -Management : 1) I really pity for the HR and Mangers at CoE, They have no decisional powers. They do not even have a proper say on promotions and increments of their employee's under them. Anything and everything requires an approval from overseas. 2) Actions by the HR team are very slow. 3)Managers : Do not be biased : Every individual come in with a dream. - Employee: The Company does not much worry about the employees. Bends and twists its laws as per company benefits. Do not take advantage of an employee waiting for changes, An innocence ignited is mightier than a Sandy Hurricane. Apart from all this , AIG is a great place to work with amazing crazy peers and a Library of insurance.
