People are Our Greatest Asset

I always agree that people are the greatest asset for the organization. People or employees are the only thing that differentiates one organization from others. I am very interesting with empowerment process. In my job before, I was lucky to have a very nice boss. As a new employee that time and just graduated from university, I still confused about my jobs and responsibilities. My boss gave me a very clear explanation about my company business process, my jobs, and my responsibilities. Sometimes he gave me an extra job, that not always in my competence. At the first time I felt uncomfortable, but then I realized that he wanted to empower me, gave me new knowledge and experiences. Now, I apply the same approach to my employees. For some employees, maybe they will feel that they’ve been used by the management to do something out of their job, but for me, that is they new opportunity and experience. That the way the management motivating and empowering their employees.

Today was my learning team presentation. My part was to explain the concept of placement. If we see the people or the employees as our greatest asset, we must treat them as our greatest asset also. The most important thing is to place them on the right place, so they can give the best contribution. We also have to maintain their competence by giving training. Of course, we want our greatest asset belong to us a long as possible, so we have to prepare a long term plan for their future, even since the recruitment process.
