負能量怪難升職

升職加薪是打工仔的共同目標。曾有調查發表「升職調查報告」,訪問超過一萬名來自亞洲國家或地區的人士,調查以7分為最重要,當中香港員工認為「受上司喜愛」是能夠升職的最重要因素,有5.9分,其次是「運氣」和「良好工作表現」。僱主方面,認為決定升職的最重要因素,則是「良好工作表現評估」,得到6.38分,其次是「領導能力」和「工作表現突出」,反映「運氣」的則只有3.16分。 以上結果反映僱主和僱員的看法有點出入。 香港員工認為「受上司喜愛」是決定升職的最重要因素,這句看來是阿媽是女人,上司不喜愛,又怎會提拔你呢?我們反而可以探討下怎樣才能令上司喜愛。 根據另一項有關僱主如何決定僱員升遷的調查,發現除了工作表現外,僱主對僱員的外表與性格都很看重,得出以下有趣的分析。外表方面,逾4成僱主對奇裝異服及殘舊的服飾極度反感,以下這些也是可免則免:•    另類耳環 •    衣著太隨便•    紋身 •    不專業的髮形 •    散亂的鬍子•    口氣  •    香水味道太濃 •    化妝太濃艷

【維健樂】護老家居 Room tour

筆者閒時也喜歡上網瀏覽,有許多YouTuber會喜歡自拍Room tour﹙參觀我間房﹚放上網讓人瀏覽。本人從事安老服務工作多年,本身其實亦是一位護老者,母親是一位非典型柏金遜患者,今天就讓我都安排一個特別的 Room tour帶大家去參觀她的家居,順便分享護老心得。   首先,因為母親閒時都會多坐著看電視,一般梳化質料太軟,她獨自一人很難站起來,我買了一張高背椅﹙俗稱大班椅﹚給她。由於椅的質料較緊挺,方便靠背挺直腰脊;四平八穩、兩邊有扶手,她便較容易借力站起來 ( 提示:若長者身型較肥胖,可選擇有轆的款式,就可方便家傭護老者協助移動椅子﹚。
