Prosperity Party & HR Roadshow

Wu Gu Feng Shou 五谷豐收 "Good Harvest"
Last year also the 4 of them !
The preparation / set-up
Ready ?
Here's to Prosperity and Exceptional Results!
Quite participative,eh ?
I really don't know what El was trying to do in her sunglasses!

Gift Exchange - guess what Razak got ?!
The 2008 CSO Champions!

Hmmm, this is becoming an annual event. Due to the vast improvement in our PC's results for 2008, we are now firm believers of Yee Sang,the Prosperity dish (raw fish salad) traditionally tossed to raise 'good luck' for the new year !

Of course, we first had the business stuff over and done with ... we talked about our progress MTD (1st 3 weeks of Jan), where we are on Comp Sales, Comp GCs, Vs plan, GCPCH, Mystery shop score,CSO and SOI Ranking in the P&L (Dec and 2008 YTD)

We also went thru in detail our strategy to meet or beat our Northern targets for WPR parameters this year. Mel went thru Performance Drivers and WPR Ratings again. She also reminded us to share facts with friends and family in regards to the handling of the boycott issue.

A very lengthy discussion and presentation was also done on the upcoming McValue Lunch launch,Simple Bold and Pokemon Happy Meal.

This time round, we had 4 groups in a friendly competition to see who could answer the most questions correctly from the promo briefs and also win some games conducted thru-out the meeting. The names chosen for the groups were err .... can I say creative .... ? Long Tou Hu Ma, Fatt Fatt, Huat Ar and Choi San. Haiyo ! The names themselves were comical and we had lots of healthy laughter.

The winning group was Fatt Fatt with the most points at the end of the day. Congrats !

In between,Dominic from HR Dept shared with us the new Cash Handling Policy, QCIP 2009 and System Must Do for Retention.

The highlight of the day was definitely the Yee Sang tossing and I must say, some of you are really crazy making funny noises or simply shouting in joy when tossing the salad. You are supposed to make your wish for better results mah ! And we even had practice session with all those SOI and Comp Sales / GC targets! Finally, it all sounded like HO..O..HO..O..HO!!!

A new symbol of Abundance was introduced this year - Wu Gu Feng Shou 五谷豐收 meaning 'Good Harvest' - consisting of 5 different types of beans signifying the 5 elements in Harmony, bringing us Abundance and Good Luck. We had a small game of separating the beans before mixing it all up for everyone to take some away in a red packet.

We also had a fun Gift Exchange session where everyone got something to take home.

Not to forget the Recognition Ceremony where Satriah,Day Nee,Salina,Chee Beng,Hong Chin and Eng Chew all picked up a letter of thanks and a cheque each for a team celebration. Each OC, Kartina and Soo Cheng also got a nice gift from Mel.

After all that eating and playing, it was time to go home but not before we all committed to writing our 2009 personal and work-related goals, under the headings of 'What' and 'How'.
Those who wrote funny things or took Mel's coloured pens will be the first to enjoy the privilege of attending a Comm Day with her on 23/2/09 !

Till next month's meeting on 24/2 :)
