What did Investors in People contribute?

Impact

SCIPSI’s journey towards IiP formally started in 2008. SCIPSI was recognized for the first time as Investors in People in 2009. For the past 3 years, SCIPSI has seen the benefit in valuing people in the organization through the investors in people.

Because of the inherent improvements in processes while journeying with IiP, SCIPSI has succeeded in increasing productivity, improving health and safety practices, and reducing damage and pilferages.

We would like to believe that even prior to the IiP journey, we have been implementing very good programs for our employees. We were not confident, however, whether the programs that we were implementing are enough to keep our employees motivated or keep the industrial peace.

One of the things that IiP did for us, was to give us the confidence that what we have to do is “plan, do, review” and make sure that each of our employees understands their job, how their job impacts the organization and how they can contribute towards the success of the organization. (Bob Munasque, SCIPSI General Manager)

SCIPSI continues to increase its productivity from 17 moves per net hour in 2007. The current target is 20 moves per net hour and actual performance is 20 – 21 moves per net hour. We expect to increase our productivity further to 22 moves per net hour by the end of 2015.

SCIPSI has been cited for several awards such as:

• Best Family Welfare Program – by the Department of Labor and Employment (Region 12) in October 2010;• Best Labor Management Cooperation Practitioner – by the Department of Labor and Employment in 2009; and• SSS Employer of the Year for SOCSARGEN Area in September 2010.

In 2012 SCIPSI has been nominated for the Department of Labor and Employment’s “Seal of Excellence” under their Incentivizing Compliance Program for being in full compliance with the general labor standards, occupational health and safety standards, and other labor mechanisms.

Somehow, since we started IiP, I had a lot of pleasant surprises…Like the Safety Milestone Recognition Award, being recognized as one of the Best LMC Practitioner in Region XII, as having the Best Family welfare Program in Region XII...

But what surprises me most is the “obvious” enthusiasm of our employees in our company activities – whether it be outing or trainings or port clean-up or a simple motorcade…

I can say that our employees are happier now… Not because we raised their salaries substantially. No, we did not.

But because of the formula that is in IiP – that is, make sure that people understand the objective of the company, that people understand their jobs or what is required of them, and they know how they can contribute to the attainment of the company’s objectives.

In short, our people are happier now because they know, no matter what their jobs are, they are able to contribute and their contribution is valuable to the company… (Bob Munasque, SCIPSI General Manager)

5In-Focus Pangarap

“Bringing the world of internet into the classroom connects learning with "real life" and validates the student’s technology culture as a rich environment for learning.” In this context, South Cotabato Integrated Port Services, Inc. (SCIPSI), in cooperation of Department of Education (DEPED), jointly provides a Computer Literacy Program with a theme of -“Building Classrooms Without Walls: Maximizing the Internet & Creating Online Resources.”

Held at General Santos City High School (GSCHS) on two batches (April 10-11 for elementary teachers and April 12-13 for high school teachers). The participants were composed of forty-five (45)

Sipag, tiyaga, pangarap, pagkakataon, pagpupunyagi, at mga biyayang bigay ng Diyos ang nagdala kay Exequil Abraham sa kung saan at kung ano man siya ngayon.

Ika-siyam sa sampung magkakapatid, maagang naranasan ni Exequil ang pait ng buhay. Katatapos pa lamang niya ng elementarya ng magsimula siyang magtrabaho sa pantalan bilang isang “kargador.” Habang nagtatrabaho, nag-aaral din siya ng sekondarya sa Mindanao State University (MSU). Sa kasamaang-palad, hindi niya ito naipagpatuloy sa kadahilanang inatake ng stroke ang kanyang ama. Ito ang naging dahilan kaya tuluyan siyang tumigil sa kanyang pag-aaral at ipinagpatuloy ang trabaho niya bilang isang “kargador”. Sa murang edad, mahirap ang trabaho na pinasok niya pero wala siyang magawa dahil kailangan niyang kumita para matustusan ang mga pang-araw-araw na gastusin ng kanyang pamilya.

Taong 1988, may isang kaibigan ang nakapagsabi at nag-udyok sa kanya na kumuha ng “Placement Test” para sa kanyang pag-aaral. Noong taong ding iyon, kumuha siya ng pagsusulit at sa kabutihang-palad, siya ay pumasa. Higit pa sa magandang balitang ito, pwede na siyang makapagpatuloy at makapag-aral sa kolehiyo. Pinili niyang mag-enrol at kumuha ng kurso sa Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges (RMMC) pero siya ay nadismaya dahil tanging “vocational courses” lang ang pwede niyang kunin para i-enrol.

Talagang sinusubok ng panahon ang kanyang pangarap ngunit hindi pa rin siya sumusuko. Hulog ng langit ang isang mabait na guro sa nasabing paaralan na nagpayo sa kanya na kumuha ng pagsusulit sa National Career Assesssment Examination (NCAE) at kapag naipasa niya ito, pwede na siyang makakuha ng kursong gusto niya. Dahil sa kagustuhan at pagnanais niyang mapabuti ang kanyang buhay, hindi siya nag-atubili na sundin ang nasabing payo.

Taong 1989, pumasok siya sa General Santos City High School (GSCHS) para mag-review bilang paghahanda sa kukuning pagsusulit. Dahil sa kanyang determinasyon, tiyaga, at sipag sa pag-aaral, naipasa niya ang pagsusulit na ibinigay ng NCAE ng taong ding iyon. Samantala, nag-ipon muna siya ng sapat para matustusan at mabayaran ang mga gastusin sa paaralan

Taong 1933, nagsimula na siyang mag-aral sa RMMC sa kursong “Komersyo na may medyor sa Bangking at Pananalapi (Commerce major in Banking and Finance)” habang nagtatrabaho sa

pantalan. Dahil sa kakulangan at kakapusan ng pang-tustos, may mga pagkakataong madalas siyang tumitigil sa pag-aaral at muling nag-iipon para makapag-aral uli. Dumating ang panahon na walang-wala talaga siyang maipon dahil sa mga gastusin ng pamilya at tuluyan na nga siyang nahinto sa pag-aaral. Isang semestro na lang sana ang kanyang kukunin upang makapagtapos at makatanggap ng diploma. Gayunman, patuloy siyang nagsikap at nagpunyagi sa pagtatrabaho sa pantalan.

Taong 2006, nagbunga ang kanyang pagsisikap, pagtitiyaga, at pagsisigasig sa trabaho dahilan para siya ay maging isang “checker”. Dahil sa patuloy niyang ginampanan ng maayos ang kanyang trabaho, siya ay naging isang “foreman” pagkatapos ng dalawang taong pagiging “checker”. Totoo nga ang kasabihang “walang mahirap na gawa ‘pag dinaan sa tiyaga.”

Sa pangunguna at bagong nangangasiwa ng South Cotabato Integrated Port Services, Inc. (SCIPSI), nagkaroon ng katuparan ang mga taong may pangarap na makapag-aral at makapagtapos sa pamamagitan ng “People Development Program (PDP).” Isa itong programa na ang tanging layunin ay makapagbigay ng oportunidad sa mga

empleyadong karapat-dapat na gustong tapusin ang kanilang pag-aaral o mag-aral muli.

Taong 2010, bumalik siya sa dating paaralan at kumuha ng bagong kursong “Pangangalakal at Pangangasiwa (Business Administration)” sapagka’t na “phase-out” na ang kanyang dating kursong kinuha dahil sa ipinatupad na bagong kurikulum ng paaralan.

Taong 2011, lahat ng kanyang sikap, tiyaga, puyat, panahon, at panalangin bukod sa iba pa, ay nagkaroon ng magandang bunga dahil sa wakas, natapos na niya ang kanyang kolehiyo at nagkaroon ng diplomang kanyang maipagmamalaki sa lahat.

Walang mapagsisidlan ang kaligayahan at kagalakan na nadarama ni Exequil sa milyaheng kanyang natamo. Bukod doon, nadagdagan pa ang kanyang kompiyansa at pagtitiwala sa sarili at mas napabuti pa niya ang paggawa ng mga ulat sa trabaho. Nakapag-ipon na din siya para sa pag-aaral ng kanyang mga anak at nagkaroon siya ng mga karagdagang benepisyo at pagtaas ng suweldo dahil siya ay na-promote bilang “Supervisor” noong taong ding iyon. Lubos ang pasasalamat niya sa kompanya dahil bukod sa aspetong pinansiyal na pinamuhunanan ng kompanya sa kanyang pag-aaral, ang suportang ipinakita at ibinigay na tiwala ng kompanya na kaya niyang tuparin at abutin ang pangarap para mapabuti ang kanyang buhay ay isang bagay na walang kasinghalaga.

Ang kanyang mensahe sa mga taong may pangarap sa buhay at gusto itong abutin “ang pag-aaral ay wala sa edad o estado sa buhay. Lahat tayo, kung gugustuhin ay may paraan upang maabot natin ang ating mga pangarap. Sipag, tiyaga, at pananampalataya sa Maykapal ang ating kailangan para ito ay maisakatuparan. Sa mga namamahala at nangangasiwa ng kompanyang aking pinagtatrabahuhan, labis-labis ang pasasalamat ko dahil sa PDP Program, isa ako sa mga nabigyan ng pagkakataon na tapusin ang aking pag-aaral at magkaroon ng kaginhawaan sa buhay.”

Samakatwid, panatilihin natin ang ating mga pangarap sa buhay. Unawain natin na upang makamit ang anumang bagay, ito ay nangangailangan ng pananampalataya sa Diyos, paniniwala sa ating sarili, pangarap, kasipagan sa trabaho, pagpapasiya, at dedikasyon. Tandaan na ang lahat ng bagay ay posible para sa mga taong naniniwala.

diverse elementary teachers from Labangal Elementary School, Saavedra Saway Central Elementary School, and Saludin Anas Elementary School; and forty (40) high school teachers solely from Labangal National High School; in which all schools are located in General Santos City. The facilitators came from NetLearn Trainor and ICTSI Foundation Representatives.

Two days worthwhile training with the essential objectives of (a) providing an overview and latest updates of ICT Integration in education; (b) learn and develop different strategies in using and maximizing the internet

inside the classroom; and (c) review of basic internet concepts and learn to troubleshoot common internet related problems. To keep the training more dynamic and interactive, different methodologies have been set out such as series of lecture and discussion, hands-on, coaching, and realistic simulation.

SCIPSI believes that providing this kind of training, students as well as teachers could able to better-equip themselves with ample knowledge and ability to use computer and internet efficiently which enhances students learning experiences and provides an effective teaching tool for our teachers.
