Another Surprise!

Posted by Jª




Our group decided to go back to our adopted company in MIS (Management in Information System) for data gathering. A few of our friends tagged along since they don't have anything to do that day. When we there, the person in charged in the front desk told us that Sir Gementiza is not around that time and will be back at around five that same day. Since it was still early and since we also decided to check out our adopted company in HRM, we decided to go the 9th floor of the building where the office is located. While we were there, we observed that there were people scurrying in and out of the office. After a while, miss Glochie entertained us about our purpose there. It was only a brief meeting since we only asked them about our HRIS proposal. While waiting for the elevator, which was really took a long time, the HR manager of Callbox, Maam Andrea, saw us and asked us if we were applying. We hurriedly replied that we are not there applying but for our project. She then remembered us and even asked us to invite our friends along. We have no choice but to follow. And we thought that this can help in our hrm and as well as we can post something in our blog. After a while, we went inside in a room where we noticed several workstations. Sitting comfortably in the workstations, she instructed us to boot up the computer. I noticed that they have really nice and high end computers there. Well, that is expected though, hehehe. When the screen lit up, there was this unfamiliar user interface that I thought was just vista skin. But then I noticed the cursor has this f in it. The Operating System that they are using there is fedora. Fedora is a linux based operating system. They applied FOSS here! hehehe.... So much about that, we went to there site and create an account and after that we filled up some questions in the, er, questionnaire. After filling it up, my friends and I decided to go to the other room for the next phase, in which we weren't ready. But before we were out, there was this man who asked us a few questions. I remembered he was with us in the elevator when we were going up. He asked us what we were doing in the 8th floor (that is where LDS ERC is located). We told him we went to LDS ERC and he followed it up asking us if we where mormons. I told him our purpose there and we went to the other room. I forgot to tell you that this place only speaks english. We were always laughing then coz of *nosebleed*. After that, while waiting for maam Glotchie, there were other applicants there that speak english fluently. We were laughing at the way we spoke that day. Not that our english is bad, but we where not used to using it. Some even resorted to use sign language! hahahaha... After all the fun and the hassle, we finished there and went back to the LDS to have our data gathering. Thankfully, sir Gementiza was there and we were able to have the neccessary data that we needed for our subject. ^^,

Company Visit HRM

Posted by Jª

This may seem a little too late to post, but I'll make up for it next time. Anyway, I'll be sharing our company visit for our subject called Human Resource Management or HRM. When we were told to find a company for our group to conduct a study with, we were already thinking what company we will be adopting. We knew that it will not be easy looking for a company but then again, we were a bit carefree since we still have a long way to go. Our group decided to go to Pryce Business Zone to look for a company that will hopefully allow us to conduct a study. We ran into numerous companies (just a few really, hehehe) and we found this call center company called Callbox. This company is a call center company as well as being a company known for their IT related services.

Our group was kinda hesitant to inquire on Callbox since we are not complete that time and since we are a bit panicky that time, we decided to give it a shot. We even brought 1 of our female friend to be our speaker since the available members around in our group was, let's say "the shy type". When we arrived in the Landco bldg( that is where Callbox, Inc. is located, btw), we directly went up to the 9th floor of the building. When we went inside of their office, there was no one in the front desk. And we only saw a person that was applying on their company. So we waited for a few minutes and then there was this young attractive woman (hehe) that asked us what we were doing there and asked if she could be of help. She has this british accent when she is speaking english, and man, she's good! hehe. Anyway, our female friend stepped up and asked the girl (her name btw, is "glotchy" i think... dunno the spelling) if we can conduct a study on their company. She then asked us what school we are from blah, blah, blah... And did I mention she's superb in english? hehe... well, after a few chitchat, she gave the name of their HR department supervisor and she didn't gave us an assurance that we will be accepted on their company. We thanked her and headed outside.














A few days had passed, and we tried other companies just in case we are not gonna be accepted on Callbox. But all in all, we were unsuccesful on our endeavor on the other companies. We then set our hopes on Callbox. Days passed and we went back to their company. Glotchy were there and we were told to wait for a minute. Right after, she instructed us to go to the HR office where the supervisor is waiting. We were a bit nervous then at that time since we are still not sure if we will be accepted. The supervisor was not the type we were expecting( hehe). She was young, maybe in her mid twenties then and she speaks english proficiently (well, what do you expect? hehe). She is also good looking and friendly(hehehe). After an introduction why we are there and few questions asked by her, she allowed us to have an interview with her. To make it short, we arrived on the time she asked us to come and had our interview with her. Questions were asked and answered and before we knew it, we already asked the necessary questions for our report. We had a pictorial session (haha). It was funny since we didn't knew that time that it was sequential shot. Most definitely our company visit is not just going to end there, especially we are nearing the end of our semester and we will be proposing a HRIS (human resource info system).

Homo Superior

Posted by Jª

Human beings, as they say, is the highest form of life. And that is true, based on my opinion as well as what i have read about man. True, for we are able to reason and do things greater than the rest of all living things.


Because of this, man had become the most important driving force in the success of an organization. Basically, human beings are the ones who are managing the organization in the first place. They can make or break an organization. They render almost every services needed in order for an organization to be competent. Without man, there will be no organization or a company at all.

But also because of this, man has become the least understood and the worst managed resource in an organization. Why? for man is and always be taken for granted. In addition to that, there are inequalities in the position in an organization. Some may be higher than the others, while some are on the bottom part.Not only that, the rights and benefits of a man in an organization may not be given properly.

Human Beings should always be given a priority in an organization for they are the best resource in an organization.

Human Resource Management in Information Technology

Posted by Jª

Human Resource Management is included in the BSIT curriculum for it is essential when they will be having a job. HRM(Human Resource Management) is essential for it helps in dealing with people in a certain workplace. No matter what job we do or where we are, we are most certainly dealing with people no matter what.

Through this said subject, we can mingle effectively and understand more about the people that we will be dealing with in the near future. And if that will happen, then there will be a harmonious relationship between us and the people that we will be working in the near future (hopefully when we graduate). ^^

Downsized

Posted by Jª

Downsizing, which is also known as layoff, is defined by wikipedia as either the temporary removal or suspension or the permanent termination of an employee in a certain job.
This is done mostly for cost-cutting reasons.

One company that recently downsized its workers was Motorola Inc. The company downsized 2,600 workers across the company in the world which resulted in a $104 million pretax charge in the first quarter.
The reason for this downsize was that this was a part of a plan to cut cost by $500 million this year. The higher ups in the company disclosed the cost reducing-program at the start of 2008 and and they announced that it could mean job losses. Motorola's head count totaled 66,000 at the end of 2007, which is according to the annual report filed on February. The company reported its second-quarter earnings on April 24, 2008 and expecting a further decline in its sales and global market for its cell phone unit. The company previously announced that it was planning to split its handset division into an independent, publicly traded company.

The majority of the 2600 workers came from Asia, most notably from Singapore, where the company is planning to halt the cell phone manufacturing by the end of this year. It was stated in their 2007 annual report that Singapore, China and Brazil, are the company's largest cell phone manufacturing facilities, and most of their hand set products are made in Asia.

Since becoming the chief executive on January this year, Greg Brown, he restructured marketing operations with its chief marketing officer leaving the company. Also on February this year, he took control of the cell phone unit and hired new heads of office of finance and human resources.

I'm looking forward to our meetings(since it won't take much of our time... Very Happy) and finding a suitable company. Although it will not be easy, I expect that we can pretty much cope up with the subject.
