“Twenty five years ago there was a real
culture of working late and you risked ruining family
life. The reason why we work is to provide for our loved
ones. But, if people aren’t happy with their work, then
it’s probably going to be reflected in their home
lives.”

“Yow, da man deh have money, me ah tell
yu!” It's not a strange comment. We’ve probably made it
ourselves in relation to our local captains of industry
and even among more obscure citizens who have the
appearance of wealth.

Even
though the government has not yet made it mandatory for
the business sector to have an HIV/AIDS policy in place,
they are nevertheless being advised to have broad-based
programmes which address issues of prevention,
treatment, care and support. With the flow of
information that is now available about HIV/AIDS, it is
now possible to redesign employee benefits to use the
resources at hand to target the needs of workers without
a significant increase in contributions. < Full

Outsourcing is a practice that is becoming
increasingly popular with today’s businesses: We don’t
know how many businesses in Jamaica currently outsource,
but you tend to find more outsourcing being done in the
public sector than the private sector. However, with the
pressure to become more efficient and competitive, human
resource specialist, Dr. Alton Fletcher, feels
businesses - both small and large – will soon have to
turn to outsourcing as the solution.

New work ethic
The General Manager of the Publications Division of Blackslate Media Group Limited, who is the leader of the Businessuite team, is a fervent ambassador of his very distinguished alma mater, Jamaica College. He has confessed that only after graduating has the attitude that the school’s Motto, ‘Fervet Opus In Campis’, is intended to inspire its students to have become clear to him finally. This Latin philosophical proposition stands for ‘work is burning in the fields.’ It was only when the Businessuite team leader was writing a tribute to distinguished pharmacist and fellow Jamaica College alumnus the late Richard ‘Dick’ Kinkead, that the meaning became clear. It means that one never truly works at any task if it is not grueling, or does not yield impressive results by perspiration, as happens, generally, when a tiller of the soil works the fields in the broiling heat of the sun. So the Jamaica College Motto was intended by its author to inspire students and graduatesof the school to always work hard and have an excellent work ethic. It begs no wonder then that the likes of late National Hero Rt. Excellent Norman Washington Manley, is a distinguished alumni, or that others include his sons, the late Prime Minister Michael Manley and his brother, former Minister Dr. Douglas Manley; Opposition Leader Bruce Golding; the late Richard ‘Dick’ Kinkead; and recently honored, former West Indies Cricket Team member, Jimmy Adams. Their work ethic is legendary because of its characteristics of passion, thoroughness, discipline, dedication, accountability, respectfulness, honesty & integrity, decency, decorum, sensitivity et al.
