A core message by Shams:
1. Understand the term HR and its brief historical philosophy = "Workers are asset"
2. Revise core terms in HR (HR, HRP, JA, JD, JS, TNA, Compensation-Noncompensation etc.) and its INTER-RELATEDNESS.
3. Keep in mind that HR is a field of knowledge that is crucial to realise our role as a khalifah (managing human affairs). And remember to make it as 'ibadah by intend to do it as amanah to realise our role as 'abid (servant of Allah s.w.t.).
When we fall, go back to this philosophy. Wallhu'alam. Thank you.
I understand and accept this.
I understand and don't accept this.
I don't understand this.
