19th HR Sharing –23th May 2008
The face of the
organization often reflects from its website and printed
materials. Newsletters are a source of communications with its
client and the public at large. An impression is oftened form
by the design, colour, and how messages are put acrossed.
T.Vijay, website journalist for HRmatters21 shared tips on
creating effective newsletters with Members. According to
Vijay, printed materials are more expensive but friendlier to
our eyeballs as compared to online. He even compared the pros
and the cons of cost effective online newsletters in contrast
to the more expensive printed newsletters, but printed
newsletters have a stronger physical presence as compared to
newsletters in cyberspace.
After the coffee break
networking session, Thomas Thomas, the Executive Director of Singapore
Compact for CSR shared his work history with the audience. From the
oil industry to a Union leader and even one time Nominated MP, Thomas
had a message to put across, and that message is all about corporate
social responsibility. Thomas said that companies had a social
responsibility to their employees. He gave the example of retrenchment
and how companies should not shun away from compensating just because
of saving money. Taking a positive disposition and treating your staff
well can reap positive benefits. Companies need to earn the respect of
their employees before employees reciprocate which will translate into
higher productivity.
HRmatters21 would like
to thank Vijay and Thomas Thomas for gracing the 19th HR
Sharing. It was indeed our pleasure to host such an event with 2
prominent and illustrious leaders in the HR Community. See you at
