The HR Industrial talk was held on Sunday, 16 January 2021. School of Human Resource Development & Psychology, UTM is organizing this talk via Facebook Live through its Facebook SHARPS page.
HR Industrial talk 2021 emphasizes global citizen skills as an attribute of UTM graduates.
During the industrial talk, I will participate as a participant in order to gain insight into the role of employers and employees in practising OSH at work.
This is a Facebook live activity I participated in on Sunday, 16 January 2021. As a reward for attending the event, I received an e-certificate and merit as a reward. I had an enjoyable time participating in the whole activity. Among the attributes of UTM graduates are global citizen skills, which are a major focus of this talk. From my understanding, global citizenship skills refer to students' ability to carry out their duties professionally and ethically and make decisions that are beneficial to society. Thus, the organizer provided students with some ideas on how to implement OSH practices in the workplace, especially the role of the employer and employees. The speaker also explained what is OSH in detail and the importance of it, such as ensuring and providing a safe environment for all employees at a workplace to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries.
The activity helped me develop my global citizen skills, for example, during my employment at my near future company, I was able to act ethically, such as adhering to safety policies enacted by my employer, and also taking responsibility for implementing OSH practices anywhere and anytime to prevent one of my colleagues from getting involved in an accident. Following this industrial talk, I now have a better understanding of the importance of implementing OSH practices at work. As a fast learner, I will apply and share my knowledge with my colleagues at the company I will be joining in the near future in order to raise their awareness of OSHA practices. Even so, I struggle to be affected by an internet connection, which I find challenging. The problem occurs when too many family members are using the wifi at the same time, so I can't connect to the internet when I use my devices to participate. In order to prevent sudden internet lagging from happening in the future, I will try to use multiple devices to join the activity.
