During
my 10 years¡¯ career in the HR field, I¡¯ve been working with minying
enterprises for the first 5 years, then with an European enterprise for 3 years.
I believe that it¡¯s beneficial to have both type of experiences. In my
opinion, foreign enterprises possess a mature management structure and provide
its employees with a good learning environment, whilst the minying enterprises
usually have an open management system, and provide its employees with a large
platform on which they can perform well. Allow
me to share with you some of these experiences. Right
before the National Day of 1995, I joined the San Bo Xian Group by chance, as a
director in the President¡¯s Office. There is an old saying in China: ¡°a new
official applies strict measures¡±; I did experience the true meaning of this
traditional proverb as a new official then. The
first measure I took was the issuance of the October holiday notice. I myself
wrote the notice on a little blackboard, which said ¡°one-day holiday on
October 1¡± and commenced work from October 2 as usual. The
second measure was to set up a mast in front of the gate of the office building.
I myself had confirmed that the standard height of the mast was 19.48 meters,
and that it should take exactly 3 minutes to finish the whole procedure of
raising the flag on this mast. The
third measure I took was to resolve the issue of a regular bus service for
employees. I myself had negotiated with the transportation department, and
appointed two bus companies for this purpose; the employees should wait for the
bus at the appointed site and time for this service. The
resulting comments from the Group for these 3 measures were: The
official ¡°Holiday Notice¡± had rendered the employees of Group the first
taste of a ¡°regularity enterprise¡±. Because during the past 8 years, there
had never been an official notice about holidays, and the employees had never
really spent a holiday with their family; because there was no official notice
about holidays and the employees tended to work during the ¡°holiday¡±. Setting
up a mast for the national flag also let all the staff have a taste of pride of
being a part of the ¡°Chinese
enterprise¡±. The national flag is
a symbol of China; it was seen flying over the industrial district of San Bo
Xian group. Any visitors to the company could the see this red flag.
That was the reason why employees of this Group had felt the pride in
seeing this national flat. The
company¡¯s regular bus service had let the employees experienced a feeling of
¡°Equality¡±. The senior Management had no other perceived privilege in terms
of transportation, as they had to wait for the same bus at the same place and
the same time with the other employees. Can
you imagine that these 3 measures I first took at that time were the first
¡°enterprise behavior¡± for a minying company? The
experience in the minying enterprise has therefore equipped me with great
confidence. I believe that every one can create a brilliant career path as long
as one can start work from a detailed job description, and conduct oneself
professionally and consistently. |
