In my opinion, individuals, like a company, must have a lifestyle of social responsibility.

And with the upcoming holiday break due to Lenten observation in the Philippines, I am taking this opportunity to return something to the corporate community by conducting a series of FREE learning sessions about “Spiritual Intelligence“. This will only take about 1-2 hours and 6 slots were allotted,  2 each from Monday to Wednesday [March 29-31,2010].

As of this writing though, of the 6 slots, 3 has been taken and a fourth company is finalizing it’s schedule. Surprisingly,  scores of individuals are also asking if they can join any of the available sessions. On a different schedule, we may hold similar session for individual participants if the companies can not accommodate them.

Please forward this invitation to interested companies or you may ask them to leave a message in this PAGE.

Look up and be filled =D

We started the year with a series on HR 2.0, and we are attempting to establish whether the Human Resources Division can use web 2.0 applications in the performance of it’s duties.

On our first issue, we defined what web 2.0 is, to bring all of us together in common understanding. As a review,web 2.0 consists of three pieces, namely:

1. Rich Internet Applications (RIA)– this simply means bringing your desktop experience into the browser, i.e. drag and drop
2. Service Oriented Architectures (SOA)– part of SOA, is feeds and RSS wherein it makes your subscription experience pleasant
3. Social Web — As a non geek, this is the only piece that we can relate to because this is the end product wherein we, the end user becomes an integral part. These services include video and audio/podcast sharing like Youtube, Social Media like Facebook and LinkedIn, Blogs like WordPress and Blogspot and Micro blogging like Twitter.

As a Human Resource practitioner, we will not concern ourselves with the 1st two pieces because only the 3rd piece can affect our work. Well, if you don’t agree with me on this, just tell me if you don’t have admin cases that is related to use of social media.

On my last post, for the benefit of new subscribers, we stepped backward by reviewing what web 2.0 is. On this issue, allow me to discuss  online reputation and responsible use of digital media.

In one fora, someone asked me, “sir, what is an online reputation?”.  I  replied, “try typing your name in search engines [google, yahoo, bing] then analyze the results.

1. What is on the first page?
2. [assuming you own a blog or maintain different SNS accounts like Facebook & Twitter] Do you see your online accounts/profile?
3. Are others talking about you?
4. Can they find your work?

You may repeat the exercise, this time do it inside Social Networking Site where you maintain an account. i.e.,  Facebook, Multiply, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plurk.

We are in the age of digital media where distance and time  is no longer an issue when accessing information. When your potential client or employer, or even old classmates or friends, or long lost relative tried to locate you using web 2.0 applications, they will do what you just did and may get similar results. Unless you don’t like what your current online reputation is [or lack of it] and would want to take action.
