The success of any firm, organization or institute can only be analysed when the detailed report of the company highlights its growth rate higher than the previous year. The graph accelerates when the focus is given on all the dimensions of the company’s growth. It is not only about financial growth but also related to holistic growth of the company. If the employees from top to bottom are highly satisfied and keep an optimistic approach about the growth path of the company then it is sure that company will grow rapidly. They are happy and want to take the company to new heights. When the people working there are happy there is no one who can retain the company’s growth.
