T. S. Kaladharan

Our 15th anniversary celebrations were a tribute to everyone who contributed to our success. The achievements of CSS have been brought about by the cooperation of our staff, agents and associates. I am confident that if we build on this spirit of cooperation, we all felt during the celebrations, we will move onto higher and even more rewarding times.


Nobody, in this world, has ever succeeded without a belief and team effort. These two attributes provide an ethos for success. It goes beyond just shaking hands and embracing, because when combined with a belief and a motivated team the results go much further. Everyone knows that we are there for each other.


Gone are the days when people used to say “business has no ethics”. I honestly believe that without ethics no business will survive. This is why CSS is committed to upholding our ethics – “our word is our bond” and this is the foundation on which we will continue to build, moving forward to greater accomplishments. As we venture into new projects and diversify, using our established talents, the rewards they will bring will be spurred by values which keep CSS vibrant.It was the confidence in our people, and the confidence in our beliefs that has brought us to where we are today, now with our experience and spirited hearts we will sail onwards with an uplifted sense of purpose.
Happy reading….

Those who understand the importance of training absolutely know this to be a fact, it’s not a belief or an opinion or a preference. It’s certainly not an attitude it’s a cold hard fact: training is important. Many people know that training is important because, at one time or another we’ve all been valuably trained in something or trained someone else to do something useful yet this basic work area. Its clear importance is not fully understood and therefore not fully exploited to make life easier and more profitable.


In today’s world everyone is a skilled worker, from the receptionist with minimum requirement of high school education to the CFO with an MBA or PHD, the entire workforce has become a skilled landscape and that means that there is arguably no position that isn’t in need of continuous training.


It bears that repeating training can no longer be viewed as a support system liked a good benefit program. Susanth, HR Manager for CSS states that in the skilled workforce of the 21st century, training is essential as it is the core engine of a company because it supports the entire skilled workforce. Frankly, there is no other way whatsoever for a company to comply with this paradigm shift than to understand that training is important. Or rather, that it’s essential.
