Student with "Cheer-up" work plan wins award

An essay outlining a four-point plan to raise the morale and confidence of Hong Kong employees has won a HK$4,000 scholarship for a third-year human resources management student at HKBU.

Winner of the scholarship, awarded by the Personnel Management Club (PMC) of The Hong Kong Management Association, is Cindy To.

Cindy's formula to increase morale and confidence included adopting a comprehensive and flexible reward system, fostering a cooperative and communicative work culture, developing a pleasurable work environment, and encouraging staff empowerment.

As well as submitting an essay, Cindy made a presentation in English to a panel of judges, and attended a Q & A session.

Three PMC scholarships are offered each year to final-year Hong Kong undergraduates engaged in full-time studies and majoring in human resources management.

Students from HKBU took the championship last year and won second runner-up places in 2001 and 2002. Currently, five Hong Kong universities offer human resources management as a major.
