BICOL CHAPTER HOLDS MINI-SUMMIT
In its desire to promote PMAP as “The foremost authority in human resource management in the Philippines” and to bring out the best from HR practitioners in the region, the PMAP Bicol Chapter headed by Dr. Melinda D. De Guzman, conducted a regional seminar on August 24, 2012 at the La Piazza Hotel & Convention Center in Legazpi City.
Adapting the 2012 Luzon Summit theme: “Think Big, Harness People Towards Global Progress”, the Chapter was able to recruit 68 new members from among the 185 participants.
Legazpi City Mayor Geraldine B. Rosal who gave the keynote address stressed that a company is only as good as the people it keeps, emphasizing the important role of HR particularly in manpower planning, recruitment, selection, hiring, training, coaching and development. She reminded HR practitioners present to handle people with care as they are fragile and the most difficult to change.
Four plenary topics from the Luzon Summit were covered by this activity: In Plenary 1“Public-Private Partnership in Ensuring Sound Labor Relations”, DOLE 5 Regional Director Nathaniel V. Lacambra briefed the participants on PPP as a tool of governance and a tool of development process thru the levels of partnership that include the bipartite in the plant level (employer, employee and the LMC) and outside (government and the industry tripartite councils) and the tripartite (with the civil society), all focusing on ensuring sound labor relations thru a social dialogue or what His Excellency President Noynoy Aquino calls the government’s social contract with the Filipino people.
PMAP National President Arthur Luis P. Florentin handled Plenary 2 “Building Organization Capabilities”to increase production, to enduce growth, introduce new products and services and to achieve better results. He shared Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model & Terms of Engagement for new ways of leading and changing organizations, among other inputs. In closing, he stressed the need to shift from “Analysis, Think, Change” to “See, Feel, Change” because the reality that the playing field has dramatically changed is already staring at us, and that in any change, only those who are open, those who accept, respond, adapt and add value, will survive.
In Plenary 3 “Entrepreneurial Leadership”, PMAP National Chapters Committee Director In Charge Louisa Mila V. Echevarria discussed the prosperity cycle of nations and organizations, defined entrepreneurial leadership, the specific attributes of an entrepreneur leader, leadership principles and practices, creating entrepreneurial strategies and a lot more. She emphasized that entrepreneurial leadership is based on the attitude that the leader is self-employed and must be first, honest, second, forward-looking, inspiring and competent, and above all must have a sense of mission. She also shared interesting info about successful businessmen who created and employed entrepreneurial vision, culture and strategies to become world-class in their respective industries.
Rev. Fr. Ernesto M. Arceo, Rector & President of the Aquinas University of Legazpi, took up Plenary 4 focusing on “People Transformation: Inspiring Values in the Workplace”. He defined happiness, the satisfaction of a need accompanied by delight, the hierarchy of values, mistaken central values, and values in the workplace which include the value systems of the company and the employees. He stressed that people in the workplace cannot be transformed without taking into account their whole person and their whole system of values. So assuming that the values and their hierarchy are based on the understanding of the nature of man, inspiring values in the workplace are the following:
1. Justice, both legal and moral
2. Honesty & Punctuality
3. Sense of Respect & Dignity
4. Sense of Responsibility & Accomplishment
5. Sense of Belonging, Identity & Camaraderie
6. Family Values
7. Religious Values
He concluded his talk by stating that “We do not live to work. We work to live and to live meaningfully and happily. When there is love in the workplace, there will necessarily be justice, for justice is the basic and first requirement of love. All the other inspiring values in the workplace spring from love …”
Questions from participants were answered by speakers after each session. Both the PMAP national president and the Bicol chapter president campaigned for membership citing its advantages. They also extended invitation to participate in the 2012 Annual Conference in Cebu City. Director Loi Echevarria took the opportunity to explain the Yellow Boat Project of the PMAP and encouraged everyone to share within their individual capacities.
The 68 new members were sworn in by Pres. Florentin before certificate of membership and Certificates of Participation were distributed.(ieg)
