Found Something!

I was just too bored and tired after lunch, so decided to surf the net for a while. And when i did a search on "John Chew" with google like what i like to do with people's names and found this excerpt of an article from ST Recruit online published on 11 Jan 2003..heh..:

"The new face of HR

Graduate: John Chew
Age: 24
Company: Oracle Corporation Singapore Pte Ltd
Designation: HR consultant

Previously attached to Oracle in his second year of the three-year degree programme in HRC, Mr John Chew is now a full-fledged employee of the company.
Though Nanyang Business School students had a choice of six specialisations, including Banking & Finance and Information Technology, Mr Chew chose HRC because HR outsourcing at the time, was “really hot”.
The new HRC course, he said, adopts an integrated view of HR. Its core subjects allow for better exposure to HR as opposed to the rules-and-regulations type of approach in the previous HRM course.
That said, the transition from classroom to office was “not a bed of roses”.
No matter how much the role is evolving, he pointed out, an HR practitioner still cannot get out of administrative duties, for example, chasing for approvals and evaluations.
Currently at Oracle, Mr Chew is tasked with maintaining the People Developer standards of the company.
Though the American multinational is a People Developer-certified company here, there is no resting on one’s laurels.
As Oracle is a People Developer which monitors staff development, Mr Chew has to keep tabs on who goes, and who is due for, training because returns on training are measured.
“I have to make sure that the training that takes place in Oracle is up to scratch.”
Though barely a year on the job, Mr Chew believes that HR is important and challenging at the same time.
“You need to attract the right kind of people, enhance their welfare and motivate them, all at the same time. And good HR systems cannot be copied blindly.”
