To develop staff towards effectiveness through personal goal setting and to instill confidence and positive values thus portraying the right personality of a corporate organization

If you are like most people who spend their life in a frenzy of activities, but achieve very little, it simply shows that you are not concentrating your efforts on doing things that matter the most – things that will give you the results you’ve been looking for.

This workshop is to invite you to examine yourself and analyze how you use your time on a daily basis, while discovering the importance of planning, goal-setting and prioritizing. In addition, it will help you to regain ‘extra’ hours, function more effectively at work with less stress and frustration, and achieve greater work-life balance.

Productivity is an essential element towards achieving company’s objectives. A typical successful organization will always reward advancement to those who are able to achieve and exceed desired results. It is not surprising, those who are only able to achieve minimum standards will be identified for something less in the company.

The normal concern is how do we increase productivity with the existing resources? If it is left unattended, we are definitely looking at inefficient and ineffective human capital.

In order to achieve the desired results within the shortest possible time will lead to managing and organizing ourselves.

With proper managing of self, superiors, communications and relations, prioritizing of work and decision-makings, anyone can achieve a desired output and ultimately have a sense of accomplishment.

Some customers are more difficult to deal with than others. Few customers are inherently rude or mean, although some may be. Usually when a customer is mad, rude, challenging or otherwise difficult to help, there is a reason.

The fact of the matter is that most customers are great. They are friendly, understanding, and tolerant. They are also knowledgeable, demanding, conscious of the value of their time, and hold high expectations for quality of product and service. You as service providers should never take these customers for granted.

Even when customers are wrong or difficult you must respect their perception and treat them with respect.

People who learn to write well are increasing their value to the company, helping to create and enhance the company's corporate image. Effective written communication gives a professional impression of us and our organization. We very often find the task of writing business documents such as letters, memos and even e-mails very challenging. We are concerned whether we convey our written message clearly, concisely and accurately to achieve the desired result. Sometimes we wonder our written correspondence sounds professional to instill confidence in the reader. Thus, updating our business writing skills in this modern era has become an integral part of professional life.

This program is designed to guide the participant naturally to write effectively and professionally to achieve writing aims and produce the desired outcomes.

The Employment Act 1955, EPF Act, SOCSO ACT are among the main laws governing employees
   
The Employment Act 1955 forms the basis of employment contracts between employer and certain categories of mostly non-management employees. It also serves as a guideline for employees who are not protected under the EA. The EA provides minimum benefits that must be provided to employees. The new amendments also cover some employees who were previously not protected under the EA 

The EPF Act 1991 is a retirement scheme for employees and has a lot of rules regarding contributions and withdrawal

The SOCSO Act 1969 is an insurance scheme for Malaysian employees for employment injury or invalidity. Both employer and employee are required by law to contribute to EPF and SOCSO

The Minimum Wages Order (2013) specifies the minimum wages that should be paid in West and East Malaysia  

For the first time ever the Malaysia government has introduced the Minimum Retirement Age Order (2013)

Part-timers are now also protected under the law. They are entitled to certain benefits including OT   
 
The workshop covers all the relevant aspects of the EA, EPF and SOCSO Acts ie duties and liabilities of employers, the benefits and conditions for benefits and procedures for making claims. It also covers the Minimum Wages Order, The Minimum Retirement Age Order, and Part-timers (Employment) Order.     

This workshop would enable new as well as existing accounting staff, admin staff and secretaries to appreciate and understand the steps in the accounting process, from source documents to the preparation of financial statements. Knowledge in these areas will enable them to be more effective at their job functions.

In today’s computerised accounting environment, accounting staff perform very specific duties as part of the accounting function.  They may be involved in one specific area like handling accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, cash book, general ledger, etc.  As a result, they are often very focused in their respective areas but may not be aware or knowledgeable of the other important areas in accounting.

With the advancement of computerised accounting packages, the accounting process is somewhat isolated and as a result these staff do not see the physical transaction actually taking place.  This may lead to a lack of understanding of the accounting process.  A thorough knowledge of the accounting process will enable the staff to better understand the process thus contributing more effectively to the organisation.

This workshop is also suitable for administration staff, secretaries and other clerical staff who performs some basic accounting functions but have limited knowledge of accounting.

HR Policies are the organisation’s top management philosophy and general guidelines as to aims, objectives, responsibilities and accountabilities regarding the organisation’s prerogatives and its employees’ entitlements and benefits at all levels.

The Employee Handbook on the other hand contains the specific terms and conditions of employment. This handbook forms the bulk of the employment contract.      
 
These documents are fundamental to every organization even though the content and standards may vary widely according to differing needs. 

This workshop shows what factors need to be taken into account in drawing up HR Policies and the Employee Handbook. It also discusses related legal and human issues and gives an insight into market trends in HR policies and employee benefits.

As it is strategic in nature, this workshop will appeal to HR Policy decision makers and those responsible for drafting them.

Participants will receive a clearly written sample of the HR Policies Manual and the Employee Handbook which can be easily customised for different organizations.       

In our complex and fast changing world where the focus is always on how business and its processes can be improved. It is not uncommon to see changes made for the better almost on a monthly basis in certain organizations. Executives and leaders are expected to think on their feet, and emerge with brilliant ideas as and when required, which might be a challenge to most. “Off-the-shelf” or standard thinking is just not enough! To survive the cut-throat corporate world, creativity and differentiation is the key to find innovative solutions to difficult problems and make decisions in an environment in which there are lots of unknowns.

How many of us have said “I am not the creative kind…”, especially when faced with tasks that require a degree of creativity. The fact of the matter is, creativity, in the business world at least, can be honed with awareness, knowledge and practice. It is a skill which can be learnt- at any age. Once you’ve learnt the pre-requisites and understand how it applies to you, the next step would be to organise the thinking methodically, and then move on to the action phase. And this is precisely what this programme is going to help you do, and it will be a lesson learnt for life.

We have all been involved in situations that required us to negotiate whether at home or at work, and in today’s business environment. The importance of successful negotiation cannot be overstated. Whenever we attempt to close a sale, deal with customers’ complaints, reconcile differences, resolve disputes, manage conflict, influence others, establish or improve relationships, we are negotiating.

This workshop will attempt to discuss the finer nuances of negotiation and prepare you to become a conscious communicator in order to arrive at a suitable outcome.

5S is the name of a workplace organization method that uses a list of five (5) Japanese  words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. The 5S pillars provide a methodology for organizing, cleaning, developing, and sustaining a productive work environment. In the daily work of a company, routines that maintain organization and orderliness are essential to a smooth and efficient flow of activities.

This methodology encourages workers to improve their working conditions and helps them to learn to reduce waste, unplanned downtime, and in-process inventory. While some Lean Six Sigma (LSS) practitioners consider 5S a tool, it is more than that. 5S is a visually-oriented system of cleanliness, organization, and arrangement designed to facilitate greater productivity, safety, and quality. When fully implemented, the 5S process increases morale, creates positive impressions on customers, and increase efficiency of an organization.

Employees will feel better about where they work, the effect on continuous improvement can lead to less waste, better quality and faster lead times. Besides increase productivity, improves quality, reduces cost, 5S also contributes for delivery on time, improves safety and improves morale. 5S is not a list of action items, but is an integrated concept of actions, condition and culture. To get the greatest success, the nature and implication of each “S” need to be understood by each employee from the top level to bottom and should be regularly practiced.

The accounting staff should also be aware of the types of decision made by management like performance evaluation, budgeting and managing working capital.

An understanding of these management decisions would enable them to appreciate how their functions and information they provide fits into the overall objectives of the organisation.

It sounds simple, doesn’t it? But as a manager/supervisor, you know that motivating employees is one of the toughest challenges you’ve got.
Sure, you want to inspire them to heroic achievement, yet most days you’re lucky if you can just get them to get the job done at all. Plus, you’re so busy with dozens of other pressing responsibilities that you often don’t notice an employee’s performance is floundering until it’s too late and the damage is done.

On the other hand Malaysian laws also state how pay should be paid and the benefits that should be provided either in cash or in kind. Laws also require that employers deduct employees' salary and contribute together with employers' contribution to SOCSO and the EPF. Further the laws also require employers to deduct employees? salary for income tax. Failure to follow the laws correctly may result in heavy penalties.
