Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

7. WHAT IS THE EPF
INTEREST RATE?
The EPF interest rate of
India is decided by the
central government
with the consultation of
Central Board of
trustees. In the past
several decades, the
interest rate has ranged
from 8-12 % of the
balances maintained in
the fund. The EPF
interest rate notification
is available on the
official website of EPF
India on an annual
basis. The same is
communicated through
major dailies in all cities
8. HOW MUCH ONE
CAN SAVE BY
INVESTING IN EPF?
Let’s say Swayam starts with a
basic salary of Rs. 20,000. Every
year, on an average, he gets a 5%
increment. He started at 25
years and worked till 60 years so
his working life is, 35 years. He
contributes 12% of his basic
salary towards PF which is
matched equally by one’s
company, (EPF contribution is
3.67%, EPS 8.67%). In this case,
over the course of 35 years of his
working life, his total
contribution is Rs. 26.01
Lakhs. Of course, his company
makes a contribution of Rs.
7.955 Lakhs, total contribution
of Rs 33.967 lakh. And this
amount grows into – Rs. 1.38
Crores at the time of his
retirement.
9. HOW IS IT
CALCULATED ?
At the beginning of each
year there would be
opening balance, the
amount accumulated till
then. Contribution is
made monthly but
interest is calculated
yearly. On gets interest on
opening balance and
monthly contribution. So
for next year the new
opening balance would
be: old opening balance +
contribution throughout t
he year + interest on the
(old opening balance +
contribution)
10. HOW WOULD I KNOW
THE AMOUNT OF
ACCUMULATION IN MY
PF ACCOUNT ?
PF office sends an annual
statement through the
employer which gives
details about the PF
accumulations. The
statement contains details
like, Opening balance,
amount contributed during
the year, withdrawal during
the year, interest earned
and the closing balance in
the PF account. This
statement is sent by the PF
department on completion
of the financial year.

two aspects -
