Barely 2 weeks to go and the new organization table is expected to be in placed. This means with my transfer to Training and Oversight Division, I have barely 2 weeks to spend time with some of my staff.
Currently, I am supervising 8 staff; Out of these 8, 3 are new hires in 2009; 1 a transferee from another department of HR while the rest has always been with my department.
Looking back now, I am thankful, as I believe that some level, I was successful in making them effective employees of the System. I have never been the kind of person who likes to spoon feed others.Maybe because I personally has a very high sense of independence; thus, I expect people around me to be the same.
One thing which I have repeatedly reminded them to do and to never feel ashamed in doing is to ask questions. In my more blatant manner, I'd tell them "wag kayong epal kung di nyo alam talaga. Pag may pinagawa sa inyo at di nyo alam kung paano gagawin, magtanong kayo. Pag may instructions sa inyo at hindi klaro, magtanong kayo, paulit nyo ang instructions, kahit sa akin mismo nyo gawin yan okay lang. Kesa naman nagbalikan kayo sa mga cubicle, gagawin nyo trabaho tapos mali lang. Mas madaming masasayang; oras, panahon, bond papers, ink, etc. Hindi kayo manghuhula, kaya wag kayong manghula kung talagang hindi nyo alam".
I have one staff who was in the habit of using the word "problem", and thankfully, I have instilled in her to use the term "concern" instead, whenever something unexpected comes up. This is due to my personal belief that in the corporate world, one only has concerns or issues when it comes to his job/work, and never problems Concerns can be addressed; problems are perennial.
I will miss 6 of them under the new structure, for only 2 of them will be with me in Training. But I know in my heart that they will make me proud in their new units, especially Ann and Tristan who will be with the new recruitment division. These two are nervous obviously, but I have faith in them that they will be able to teach their new colleagues about recruitment.
To my staff, it has been a pleasure working with you and thank you for the patience and love! Goodluck and see you around!
