Manage Your Business Well in Three Easy Steps with Business Registration Hong Kong


  

Whether you manage a large or small business, effective management is key to smooth operations. Being a good manager means that you connect well with your employees, customers, and suppliers. Follow these three easy steps to good management from Business Registration Hong Kong to improve your business.



Step 1: Stop focusing on your experience.
Being an expert in your field isn’t enough to be a good manager. You need to be able to communicate that why and how you’re an expert, and communicate it to the people who need your product or services. In order for experience to make an impact, it needs to be complemented with good marketing, administration, customer service, and organization.

Step 2: Learn how to hire.
First, determine what roles you need filled. Are you good at customer service, but lack technical skills? Now you know what type of person you need to hire. Avoid hiring your friends! Hiring a friend can lead to serious problems within the friendship and the business. Most managers who hire friends have a hard time separating work and friend roles, so if this is you definitely avoid it! Remember the rules to promoting from within: promoting from within lowers hiring costs and raises employee morale. However, if the skill set isn’t in your company, be prepared to look for someone new.

Step 3: Be consistent.
If nothing else seems to be going right, stick to consistency! Nothing comforts customers or employees more than a company and boss they can rely on. For employees, keep your expectations, performance reviews, rewards, and discipline consistent. For customers, make sure they know exactly what to expect when they walk into your business. Keep quality, customer service, and store policies the same and watch customers come running back to you.

Plan Your Recruiting With Tips from Business Registration Hong Kong



  
How do you start the hiring process? Many business managers jump straight to resume screening and interview performance as a basis for employee selection. While these can be a good start, it’s easy to be fooled by a professional resume and solid interview. Ensure a superior hire by planning your recruiting process by following advice from Business Registration Hong Kong.

Begin your recruitment hiring by determining what positions need to be filled. Perform a job analysis and write down all job specifications to better define the job description. Next, contact those who you think should attend the planning meeting. Start off with a Human Resources recruiter and hiring manager. You can also include successful employees in this position or direct supervisors to the position.



During the meeting, use the job specifications to rank the most important qualities, education, and experience for potential hires to have. This ranking will help your recruiter write accurate job ads and screen applications better. Remember, it’s okay to edit as the meeting progresses. Determine where the job will be posted to gain the best candidate pool, and remember to include internal recommendations.



Next, plan out the interview process. Write up the screening question for the HR recruiter to use for phone screens. Decide who will interview candidates and what characteristics they will be evaluating. Candidates should be evaluated on cultural fit and the skills needed to fulfill the role. Assign behaviorally-based interview questions to those who will be doing the interviewing. You can include real-life scenarios, role plays, and specific problem solving questions. If the job description calls for it, you can also include a test to give candidates, such as a writing test for positions that communicate with customers via e-mail. Determine how the questions, role plays, and tests will be graded and plan out the follow-up process.

Finally, get recruiting! Utilizing your team’s organizational skills will help you find the best candidates from the start, saving your company time and money. For more information on how to improve your business, how to get started, and more, visit Business Registration Hong Kong.

Greece Reinstates Law that Violates Human Rights of PLHIV


A draconian Greek law violating the rights of its population has been reinstated under its new Health Minister Adonis Georgiadus.

The law was scrapped in May 2012 under national and international pressure, but was revived in June 26th this year. Health Regulation 39A allows police to force those suspected of being HIV positive to undergo mandatory HIV testing. Human rights activists and groups are up in arms over the reinstatement, arguing that it unfairly cracks down on sex workers, drug users and undocumented migrants. Furthermore, the law in effect has led to reports of People living with HIV (PLHIV) being subjected to enforced isolation, home eviction and having their names published to the wider public.

Early treatment and diagnosis is obviously important; however mandatory HIV testing can produce negative health outcomes, such as mistrust of the health system, fear, stress and anxiety, failures in treatment and thus viral suppression.

The Greek government has implemented this policy due to its concern over a sharp rise in HIV cases. 2011 saw a 200% increase in HIV amongst youth. However it has slashed its HIV prevention budgets from 35 million euros in 2010 to 20 million last year. This is antithetical to reducing HIV prevalence in population, and this new law means that more money is being funneled into punitive measures, rather than being used to invest in HIV prevention, testing, care and support services. Education campaigns and sensitizing people to HIV have proven time and again to be the most effective and intuitive prevention strategies.

International organizations have widely condemned the Greek policy, including UNAIDS, the World Health Organization and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. “The Greek Health Minister is clearly violating basic human rights and human dignity under the guise of ‘protecting the community from contagious diseases,’” Doctors of the World, a non-profit, said in a statement reacting to the news. 

It is important to keep this issue in the spotlight. It is by sharing this news that the movement to repeal this draconian law can be energized and amplified. Like and share if you agree.

Human Rights of PLHIV being shelved again in India.



India’s HIV/AIDS Bill continues to be stalled, despite mounting pressure from public interest organizations to pass the six year pending HIV/AIDS Bill before the forthcoming August 5th Parliament session. Public interest organizations have voiced concern over the delay and have taken to the streets to demand the tabling of the bill.

Drafted by The Lawyers Collective HIV/AIDS Unit, ‘the Bill embodies principles of human rights and seeks to establish a humane and egalitarian legal regime to support India’s regime to support India’s prevention, treatment, care and support efforts vis-à-vis the epidemic’.

The Bill protects wide range of issues related to People Living with HIV (PLHIV), by addressing issues of stigma and discrimination, care and protection, treatment and ensuring their rights.
It specifically prohibits discrimination related to HIV/AIDS in both public and private spheres, requires specific and informed consent related to HIV testing, treatment and research, and upholds the right to confidentiality. Right to access comprehensive HIV related treatment prevention, care and support is included as are protection of risk reduction strategies targeted towards communities subject to criminal sanction, such as drug users and sex workers.

                              

The HIV/AIDS Bill is a comprehensive document protecting and promoting the rights of PLHIV and those affected by HIV. It is only by protecting the vulnerable that we will begin to reverse the HIV epidemic. By upholding the right against discrimination, right to informed consent, and confidentiality and access to treatment, more people will be encouraged to come forward for testing, care and treatment. By protecting risk reduction strategies, and by disseminating important information we can help those who are marginalized to protect themselves and others against HIV.

The passing of the HIV/AIDS Bill will have wide ranging effects and will for the first time, offer legal protection for PLHIV and those affected by HIV in India. It has been thirty years since HIV was first discovered. Its high time for laws and policies to reflect and respond to these realities and uphold and protect the rights of all.
