To maintain Loyal Employees is one of the challenges of most companies. I definitely agree to this, because I am not only exposed to training and development but also in the recruitment side. I was able to hire good people but it remains a fact they come and go. But in the brighter side, they are really employees that remain devoted. Here in my workplace, we have these loyal employees; they even are employed longer than me. In this article that I am going to share to you, do hope these 6 habits will serve as a realization for us. *** Source :  http://api.ning.com 1. They treat you like a person. Remember when you were in elementary school and you ran into your teacher at, say, the grocery store? It was really strange. She wasn’t supposed to exist outside of school. You didn’t see your teacher as someone who wore shorts and a Grateful Dead T-shirt and actually had a life. Your teacher wasn’t a person; she was a teacher. Lots of employees see their bosses that...

Starting today, I will be sharing with you interesting articles about leadership and people management. I have been working in the Human Resource Dept.  for 5 years already and I know some of you also have your own field. Here is an interesting article for today, hope you find this article beneficial not only for yourself but also to the people you are working with. *** Plenty of studies show that pay increases only serve as a short-term performance motivator. Certainly salary is important; every company should strive to compensate its employees fairly – even, if possible, more than “fairly.” Equitable pay is a given.  But it’s also often true that receiving a raise is a lot like buying a new car. Pretty soon we ratchet our expectations upwards and even a new Ferrari is “just” a car (unless it's a Tesla, which is never “just a car”). So where long-term performance is concerned, what matters more than pay? What do people wish for from their work ? What helps em...

I am very much alarmed on what I am currently experiencing with my eye sight. I am having a poor eye vision since I gave birth; having a blurry vision really makes me uncomfortable. I have read forums about some mommies who are also having same kind of problem. I can say that this change of vision is pregnancy related because I do not have this kind of problem before. In relation to my vision problem, I am so blessed because I won a free pair of Vision Therapy Eyewear worth P1, 280.00. Honestly, it was my first time to saw this kind of eyewear and would like to share with you what is this about and its benefit. ♥ Thank You Natural Vision ♥ Natural Vision Therapy is a proven, non-intrusive, and holistic natural vision correction method to improving nearsightedness (myopia), astigmatism, farsightedness (hyperopia), and presbyopia (old-age blur) without the use of glasses, lasik surgery, or medical aids.

I was able to attend a 2 days “Basic Supervisory Skills Training” last July 9-10, 2013. I find the training very heavy but it served as an eye-opener for me.  I may currently do not have an immediate subordinate directly reporting to me but as HR Training practitioner, I need to understand the employees (Managers and their subordinates) I am dealing with everyday. A change of attitude & behavior for the good of all and effective communication are the 2 important things I am practicing and definitely my goal that I need to achieve in my professional life. Have you heard about the story of “ A Peacock in the Land of Penguins ”?  This story was shared by our facilitator and for those working mommies out there you might ponder on this story. “There once was a time, in the not so distant past, when penguins ruled many lands in the Sea of Organizations. These penguins were not always wise, they were not always popular, but they were always in charge. The top management ...
