ERGONOMIC WORKPLACE ANALYSIS Courses at RECOUP

ERGONOMICS Courses at RECOUP

Deepak Sharan, the director of RECOUP runs the Ergonomics Workplace analysis courses at a very high rate.

I attended their course and found that the course value which is rated 6000-12000 INR isn’t a worth to that money given. The topics taken in that workshop limits to the execution for the PTs and OTs as it needs good reference in Big companies. What a PT & OT needs actually to learn is “How to give awareness talks in companies” and “How to do an basic ergonomic workplace analysis”. No doubt for a higher rate they teach basics and at the more than higher rate they teach Advanced Course. To be frank they have lot of material but lacks presentation and teaching skills.

For reaching RECOUP which is located in the outskirts they don’t provide any travelling help. Their mentality is getting less people register for the course at higher rate and earning a good amount. Perhaps these few people will leave feedback which is dissatisfaction only.

The complains of attendees are –

1.      The place is in the outskirt. Even if you call at the reception there is hardly any person who will pick up and reply properly. Most of the receptionist don’t know even that the course is being conducted at that place and they have guests to come. There is no coordination in the management. Perhaps the reason is that the managers ain’t trained in better management and they are not from the background of Business Management and Administration.

2.      The food isn’t good. They have a small canteen and they will not get the food from outside for a highly paid course. They are miser I tell you.

3.      The hall isn’t cool and isn’t ergonomic friendly at all for a three to six days course

4.      Most of the material which they teach isn’t updated with recent findings and is taken from the internet.

5.      The trainers are moving around the bush and isn’t teaching the main requirements for starting Ergonomics at PTs/OTs end.

And the worst thing for the foreigners who register for a one month course is that they have to go to the FRRO to register without any help from Management. For a letter from the management the person have to wait for a week as there are so many grammatical mistakes. 

A torture place for employees at RECOUP

Situated in a silent place 3 KM from the highway (NICE Road, Bangalore), where you will not get any emergency medical help. To buy the general items, you have to walk for more than 1 km. If you want to see how south Indian villages look like, you can join this organization.

Few of my friends were working in this money making rehabilitation center which is being run by an orthopedic doctor. They have their own self-boasting website which claim that more than 150 therapist are working in their hospital, which is totally non-sense. If today you count, not more than 80 therapists are working in that hospital (Its a Nursing home with one physician and one ortho doctor).

To get the job one has to sign a contract paper of 3 years, along with that you need to give a cheque of 30 thousand RS. If you are leaving before 3 year they will cash your cheque and you won’t get any experience letter. You need to give 2 months’ notice before leaving the place after 3 years. See the double standard of this company, they want candidates to join in a “short notice period (1 week to 20 days)” but to resign one has to inform 2 months before. Is it not funny?

The director is blindly trust on his most senior employees like Ramesh, jerrish, muniyandi. These people are torturing physiotherapists and occupational therapists because they know that the doctor is fully dependent on them and no one can remove them. Because of these reasons therapists are unable to deliver their duties in productive way. These new therapist are now least bother about the progress of this company, they just want to complete their contract period.

Ramesh who is pediatric dept. manager (now academic manager) used to increase the no. of sessions of patients, only to generate the revenue (this was noticed by parents and therapist). Suppose if patients are less for any month, he will increase the sessions to compensate the loss.

Many therapist who left the job before 3 years without paying the contract fees have got the threatening calls from Muniyandi, Administrative manager (Now he has shifted to peripheral clinics as he was unable to manage the administrative issues). He has threatened many therapist who left the job, that he will spoil the professional carrier if you will not pay the due. Few employees are having the call records also.

Now the question is why these managers are not leaving the job? Because they are over-paid; they know that no college will need their teaching services as they are just a massage therapist who have diverted their profession only for money. They won’t get the job in hospital also as no employer will higher the person who only knows how to burn their ass at one place.
