Dear All,
Kindly suggest an alternate name for the word "Employee." Personally, I do not like the term "employee" because they are the assets of the company. One should feel proud to work in a company where they are valued and considered as valuable assets of the organization.

Hi Devika,
It would be good to stick to the terminology as "employee" because all labor-related acts use the reference employer and employee, and in the event of a legal situation, this creates clarity. Some companies use terms such as "talent" or "process owner/stakeholder," but these are used as jargon, which is why in their employment letters with the employees, the terms employer/company and employee are still used.
To create a feeling of importance, some companies may use the term HR business partner as an example. However, for sure, the employment letter would have entirely different terms aligning to employee conditions and not to that of partnership contracts.

Dear colleague,
However, you may dislike the word 'employee', it is so legally well entrenched in books of law that you cannot do without it. The term 'employee' connotes the person employed for wages/salary to do some work, and no other word possibly captures it so well. Therefore, in your HR policy, you may refer to them as 'employees', while addressing them in common communication, it is suggested that you may call them 'Associates'.

I think "Karmayogi" will be the right word for employee in your organisation. Because only in Companies Annual Reports employees/workmen are called assets of the Company in India. Regards, Suresh
