Went for this BS7799 briefing and why the company wants to achieve this ISO standard. Then they gave a brief on the other ISOs and came across one that conforms to working environment and human care.
The person said "This is SG, we're more business and goal oriented, so you won't find us implementing this in the company". On the other hand, Japan has most of these 'humane' ISO implemented.
Sheesh...

Most companies' real reasons for achieving certain ISO certification is so that they can get listed, or they can supply to certain big customers who demand certain ISO certification. The person is right. It is always goal oriented.

Yes, I know, they'll follow the ones that would work fo rthem, not against them. To SG context, taking good care of staff equates to killing productivityAnsel said:Actually all these ISO things have got their purposes, and they are never about you.

But his dream was always to return to the US because of all his good memories during his student years there. So one day, he saved up enough money, packed up his family and went back to the US. He could only be employed as a bank officer, and worked his butt off for a meager paycheck. After a while, he couldn't stand it and moved back to Malaysia.
