AuditI'm feeling good these couple of days at work.
Besides the same 'shit' everyday, I received a good news about my 2 departments.
Both my departments passed the monthly store audit.
I can't expressed how much audit is important for a company especially in Retail line
The stress to pass and the pressure from bosses to pass is you can never imagine.
So, every end of the month is like ants on top of a hot pot (please translate in Mandarin).
I have to make sure we pass every question in the Audit.
To show my appreciation for my staff who has been working hard to make sure we pass, I went to buy them each a box of milk chocolate from Marks & Spencer.
To keep them in suspense, I told them we'll be having a short meeting on Thursday.
After everyone gathered around, I passed them each a box of chocolate.
All looked at me with a 'huh' look, I looked at them sternly and said 'We passed the audit.'
Everyone burst out in relieved and laughter afterthat.
I thanked them for the effort and praised them for what a good job they have done to achieve such good marks.
For Periodicals Dept, we achieved 83%, though we failed one question which alones carries 17 marks but I hope we will achieve 100% next time.
As for Inventory Dept, once again we did 100%... for the 2nd time!
My boys were surprised as they were so busy during this period that they didn't even realised audit is over.
Some people wondered how we passed as before I took over, the 2 depts have been failing like nobody business.
I do take pride in my job.
So, I will do whatever it is to improve the departments and to take them up to higher standards.
Well-done! (Giving myself a pat on my back!)
