What pisses you off at the mall? What do you suggest?: Erasing Long Lines
Malls have evolved into becoming more than just a place to shop for everyday needs. It is now a place of convenience where all services can be found. More than just a place for entertainment and shopping, it can now provide a venue to avail of medical services, attend Eucharistic celebrations, conduct business transactions thru banks.
Due to the convenience it provides, most malls here in metro manila suffer from over population especially during weekends and special sales.
Customers have to endure long lines in the restrooms and during paying the cashier. To eliminate the long lines inside rest rooms especially for the women, I suggest the mall to provide a separate restroom for women with children and the elderly. They can also create a unisex bathroom in some areas of the mall.
For the long lines in the cashiers, I suggest some malls to do a check out counter that will allow buyers to pay via credit or debit cards and pack their shopping bags on their own. Malls can also implement cashless transactions wherein people would buy prepaid cards that would allow them to purchase in any store within the mall. For example, SM would have an SM card that can be reloaded and be used for any purchases made inside any SM store. 4
What pisses you off at the neighborhood? What do you suggest?: Parking Solutions for the local Baranggay
Traffic and parking management is one of the biggest challenges of local neighborhoods in Metro Manila. Some residents don't have enough space within their own lots and are forced to park their vehicles along the streets. This causes congestion along the street making it difficult for moving cars to pass by. On the other hand, this also poses danger to vehicle owners who are leaving their cars in an unsecured location.
A possible solution is the creation of a secured multi level parking facility by local government units. This will be initially funded by the local government while residents will be charged a minimal fee in order to maintain the parking facility.
The local government can also issue stricter restrictions regarding street parking in order to control the number of vehicles that can park at any given time. They should specify which places they are allowed to park. On the other hand, only residents of the neighborhood should also be allowed to park overnight to avoid congested streets. 3
What pisses you off in your office/ What do you think must be done? Improving Personal Relations in the office
Currently, there's not much interaction between the different departments outside of work. People don't personally know the people from other departments even though we are relatively small company with a total workforce of just below 200.
The HR and admin department should develop none-work activities that would enable the employees from the different departments to interact more with their peers and get to know them outside of the office in order to encourage better working relations among the workforce. Sponsoring simple activities such as badminton tournaments, aerobics classes, cooking lessons, DVD nights once a month will go a long way in improving tensions and working relations among different departments. An immersion program can also be implemented that will allow office employees for example to do field work and try selling the product themselves.
The HR department can also start an internal blog with weekly updates featuring different employees. I highly recommend that the company implement an HR portal wherein they can make the HR department more accessible to the employees. 4
What pisses you off at school? What must be done?: Ebooks for school
Each AGSB subject has a main textbook which is required by teachers for students to purchase. Unfortunately, only printed copies of the book can be bought in AGSB. This becomes burdensome for students to bring their bulky textbooks to class especially for those who are just commuting.
With the proliferation of tablets and E-Readers it would be more convenient for students to use E-Books. Given this I would suggest for AGSB would to start selling E-book versions of reference materials and textbooks.
E-books are very handy, environmental friendly and economical. In line with the E-books, I also suggest for each subject to have an online portal in which old students can refer to after graduating. In this portal, updated references and relevant course materials can be accessed to help the student be refreshed regarding the fundamentals of the course. 3
