Healthy Mind, Body & Spirit

How do you evaluate the value of an employee in a certain company? What are the factors that need to be considered? Do you go by his academic achievements or by his years of experience? One way is to get to know him personally buy spending time with him. Another easier and indirect approach is to employ a company like Korn/Ferry International to have an evaluation done on him. Okay, maybe you need not employ to evaluate the value of the janitor or clerk in your company. You however should consider it if you want to know more about the CEO of a certain company that you are interested to buy or merge with your company.

Dennis C Carey, Senior Client Partner of Korn/Ferry International would agree that information about the human capital and intelligence plays a very important role when making decisions to buy or merge with another company. Rightly so because at the end of the day, the success of any company is determined largely by its human capital. It would be disastrous to buy a company that may appear good on paper but is full of weaknesses inside. We need “healthy” people to build up a healthy company.

Whether we like it or not, in business we have to use certain tool to help us serve the customer better, making the business more cost effective and efficient in order to gain more profit.

There are many business tools in the market but the one that is very hot now is the Six Sigma. I have yet to find our more detail on it. Maybe I just sign up for a Six Sigma Consulting and see where I can improve in my business.

For a healthier mind, body and spirit, I decided to close my internet cafe business on Sunday. Well, you might think that I am crazy because Sunday is the day with the most customers. But I am trusting God for His blessing. The main thing now is to honour God’s day; the Sabbath day.

Furthermore, if I work on Sunday, it will also mean, no football for me. There goes my once a week exercise. Apart from that, I will also have no time for my family.

So, Sunday is closed.
