Helping Haiti

without comments

We have all heard about the recent earthquake in Haiti. It has caused many of us to be thankful for our situation as the one in Haiti is very grim. It has also caused many people to search for ways to lend a helping hand. Many people are donating food, water, money and so forth. Americans are flying out to Haiti to offer help. Doctors and nurses are flying out to Haiti with medical supplies and their medical expertise. More can be done. More help is needed. No donation is too small. Please do not let this historic event pass you with effecting you. There are human beings suffering over there in Haiti and we are all a part of humankind. We all have a duty to help one another.

Please remember that we have had some very devastating events to take place right here in our home country! Please know that a natural disaster of some sort can happen anywhere. No Country or State is safe! The earth is a living organism! We have only just begun to understand it and our activities or lack of definitely effect it. Catastrophes like the earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane Katrina, the Tsunami, Tornadoes, and so forth, can happen anywhere. No doubt that if something as terrible as the recent earthquake in Haiti were to happen to any of us, we would being praying, chanting, hoping, or whatever you do for someone to come help us. I’m sure Haiti would be here for us. My plea is that you be there for them. They are without food and water in Haiti. They are without shelter and warm blankets. Many are being evacuated but there are far too many more going hungry and in desperate need of help.

There are several Haitian Relief Efforts to which you can donate time, food, water, blankets, money, and more. Though you may find some local relief efforts, please take caution as there are unfortunately people who will set up bogus relief efforts for personal gain. The absolute best way to give is through the well known, long established organizations which have a history of collecting to help those in need.
If you decide do donate supplies you should contact the established relief effort you plan to donate through for a guideline prior to collecting. If you plan to go to Haiti to volunteer, for your own protection it would be best that you have prior disaster or international experience or otherwise medical expertise. The best way to help is to donate is money so that the experts working this disaster can get exactly whats needed. Again, please be sure to donate to a well known, long established organization. An effort as small as getting the word out about any relief effort you know of can help as well. Research and spread the word of what is needed and what can be done. Some people would help if they knew how but aren’t willing to do the research. Do it for them! Also, there are some well known charities that collect for other specific reasons but are temporarily diverting the funds to efforts in Haiti.

Why You Should Invest In Developing Employees During Tough Economic Times

without comments

Economically speaking, times are tough. No surprise there, right? Well, if you keep one eye on your company’s sales performance and the other on the financial bottom line, you’re overlooking your greatest asset: your employees.

It’s tempting to focus attention on technology, materials, and processes to manage costs and gain efficiencies. While those are certainly important, it is your people that actually run technology, acquire materials, and initiate processes. You can have the best resources in your industry, yet without the right people operating and managing your resources, your efficiencies and productivity will be compromised. The time you spend developing your people can be the solution to ultimate cost savings and efficiency. We propose that your next quarter, or even makeover this next year, should focus on developing your people to be more effective than ever. Think longer-term. Think workforce management.

Attention to Employee Performance Yields Great Returns
• Instills a sense of ownership and self-worth
• Promotes mutual accountability between the employee and the manager
• Improves overall company morale
• Builds trust and a positive, innovative environment
• Increases job satisfaction

Improved Workforce Performance Affects Your Bottom Line and Your Reputation
• Improves employee retention
• Fosters adaptability and resiliency
• Increases productivity and efficiency
• Promotes longevity and profitability
• Improves customer satisfaction and retention

Many employees are misaligned with their current jobs, which results in inefficiency and dissatisfaction that costs your company time and money while you accommodate, avoid, or are simply unaware of the problems that result. Every job within your organization should have a career path identified for growth and development. This assures that from day one employees are engaged in a growth program and will view their job as fulfilling and valuable.

Walk through a bookstore or turn on the television and you’ll be bombarded with products and services from the “self-help” industry. It’s no secret that these items sell because people want to improve themselves — and that ambition can carry over into the workplace, too, if you make the effort to better understand and develop your employees. Engage an individual goal setting process that clearly defines training, projects, and education that employees desire and align those goals with specific role description requirements and organizational strategic initiatives.

Keeping people engaged in your organization through high levels of purpose, passion, and ownership encourages them to continue to want to be associated with your company. If your employees are not engaged, motivated, and secure then your profitability, morale, and customer service and employee performance can plummet.

• Develop career paths for key employees
• Realign performers to more optimal jobs
• Implement training programs to support growth goals
• Take time to hire the right people for growth-focused initiatives
• Implement assessment tools to better know the skills, talents, and preferences of your employees
• Conduct performance reviews as a communication vehicle
• Engage team members as mentors engaged in mutual growth and success

Late shifts

without comments

Though shift work is associated with the manufacturing industry, it is widespread in the service industry also.

Some of  fields in which late shift work are common are:

1. Factories / Industrial plants  like refineries which need substantial capital investment for setting up. Most of  the processes are automated, and by operating in multiple shifts, production can be maximized at a marginal extra cost.

2. Industries like food or steel where restarting the production line involves a substantial additional cost. In the food industry, all the stainless steel equipment used has to be cleaned before restarting the manufacturing process. Similar in a steel smelter, furnace or hot rolling mill, a lot of electricity / energy has to be expended so that the temperature is attained , if there is a shut down

3. Essential services like public transport  (railway, buses), public safety (police, paramilitary services),  fire safety,  health care

4. Outsourced services – with customers in a different time zone.

Shift work

without comments

Shift work is the arrangement of  work schedules so that some employees are present at  the work premises all 24 hours of the day . Though the shift timings and hours vary from country to country depending on the local labor laws, in most organizations, 24 hours is usually divided into three shifts of 8 hours each. There may be some overlap between 2 shifts as the supervisor from one shift hands over charge to the supervisor for the next shift to ensure smooth operation.

Many companies have an office and factory in the same premises, and the timings of  the day shift often coincide with the office timings for these companies, so that resources are utilized efficiently. In service industries, the number of  shifts in a day is usually constant through out the year,  but for manufacturing industries, the  number of shifts depends on order booking position.

When there are lot of orders to be completed and production is to be maximized, the factory may operate in multiple shifts. Soon after the end of  the financial year,  production is less and only a single shift is sufficient .
