Managerial Experience

Management Experience Fresh out of college I joined the family business and was tasked to set up the Human Resource Section of the then 30 year old organization. It was a baptism of fire since I had no previous HR experience. I had to learn from scratch, from finding out to what should be in the 201 files and how to file them, to re-orienting and training PRC regulated professionals who aside from being resilient were older than me and had a hard time believing that someone younger and without a PRC license would require them to do certain things according of course to company standards.
It has been 8 years and 2 months since I started working in our hospital. I believe I have performed all the management functions of planning, organizing, leading and controlling but in no particular order. In the healthcare industry where trends evolve constantly and patient demands are very unpredictable, we were taught to the four management functions but we have not reached our full potential as an organization maybe because there are flaws or inconsistencies in how these functions are performed. Being the eldest of the third generation working in the family business I am currently being trained to plan for the long-term future, so my role in planning transverses in both the top and middle management level. Most of the time, I get confused on the targets I’m supposed to focus on but primarily I deal with day-to-day operations and the quarterly and yearly targets we want to meet working closely with all the department heads, both clinical and non-clinical. There are times that we deviate from our plans because there are spur of the moment decisions made due to current demands. Because of these diversions, I have practiced very well the organizing function. It is very hard to put together different departments who are confused on the direction they need to
