LOCKDOWN DIARIES

Dear Jaksonites,

Warmest Greetings to you and your families for a very Happy New Year!

“Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.”

- Oprah Winfrey

This New Year has dawned upon us with a lot of hope and aspirations for a better tomorrow. We must recall 2020 as

one of the most eventful years in recent history, with a feeling of gratitude as the year taught us endurance,

resilience, built emotional strength and demonstrated the wonderful human ability of smoothly adapting to a new

normal.

The year also saw a fast paced digital transformation and technology took the front seat to help save the day. We at

Jakson believe in evolving with time and preparing ourselves by thinking ahead and therefore, the transition at

Jakson was effortless and seamless business continuity was ensured even amidst uncertain times.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unshakeable love and trust in the Jakson family which not

only includes our employees but extends to our partners, clients, customers and all other stakeholders. Our growth

over the years has been a gross product of the collective efforts of each and every individual associated with us.

Therefore, our endeavours in 2021 will also look forward to your active support and participation in taking forward

this wonderful journey of providing sustainable energy solutions and immaculate services to one and all, and

making it bigger and better.

As we set foot into the new year, we seek your blessings and support as we gear ourselves to achieve new

milestones this year and take the Jakson Group story to newer heights. Let's continue to keep our eyes on the stars

and our feet on the ground.

Please stay safe and look well after yourselves and your families. Best wishes once again to you and your loved

ones.

ATHITI MAT AAO

SomArea GM - Hospitality

There was a time in our lives not too far from 2020 when

anytime any guest used to visit us, all of us used to jump

up with joy and used to welcome the guest with an open

heart. The year 2020 has changed our way of life

completely and our hearts opened in many ways but

also closed in some. I would like to share a short story

based on the above: Maasi was the one who would visit

every year on Diwali and would bring sweets and gifts,

so as usual she called and informed that she would be

coming this year too. Every year there used to be so

much joy and happiness due to her visit but this time I

heard Mummy saying to her sister, not to come as she

might bring the virus along. Maasi was taken aback with

shock at how could she say this and two beloved sisters

had suddenly become bitter to each other. Mummy tried

to explain to her but Maasi was so hurt and offended

that she did not visit this year and everyone at home

missed the joy, laugher and happiness that used to be

there every Diwali. This Virus has definitely changed our

minds but not the heart. Irrespective of when we get rid

of this virus, the question now is will Masi be the same

again? How we have learnt to say Athithi mat Aao this

year! We all are praying to bring back all those

connections of our hearts which we have cut due to the

Corona virus this year.

5 TIPS FOR ATTAINING WORK-LIFE BALANCE IN HOSPITALITY

Shaila DhendeHuman Relations, Jakson Inns

Attaining equilibrium between personal and professional life is one of the biggest challenges for those

working in the hospitality, hotel, and tourism industry. The operational nature and culture of the sector in itself

demands long working hours, flexibility, occasional travel, and the ability to relocate if required. It's very likely

for employees to work through evenings, weekends, and special holidays in an industry that serves 24/7 every

day of the year. Challenging hours, mixed with a fast-paced environment, eventually contribute to work-related

stress and the fear of missing out on your social or family life. It takes time to figure out how to equally manage

all areas in our lives. To get started, here are a couple of tips to consider:

1. Balance isn't the right word. Try to think of it as work-life integration. In the past, the idea of balancing daily

hours between work and personal life seemed attainable. A work-life integration approach allows us to

prioritize and integrate both of these parts into our daily life and identity.

2. Unplug. Being constantly connected interrupts our time, presence, and mental state. Persistent work

notifications keep us glued to our phones and contribute to more stress in our free time. Just because

we're always online doesn't mean we always have to be accessible. If necessary, turn your phone off and

enjoy your day.

3. Practice self-care. Self-care prevents burnout, reduces stress and helps refocus on work. Practice it by

taking the time to do activities that make you happy and fulfilled. Read a book, exercise, or take-up a hobby!

Just remember, take out time for yourself, it will be rewarding in the long run!

4. Time management. Whether you're trying to find the time to go to work, learn a new skill, or spend more

time with family, time management is the starting point to seeing your intentions come to life.

5. There is no end goal. You won't reach a finishing line of work-life balance and find everything is perfect. It's

something you work on every day. Rather than trying to balance everything at the same time, remember

that it is something much more fluid. Some days you'll do better than others, and that's okay. Allow

yourself the space to fail, and remember that tomorrow is another chance to try again.
