The best and worst employers in Kenya

You remember this article? The IHRM is soon carrying out another survey. Let us wait for the results and we will let you know but meanwhile enjoy.

As we near towards the close of the year and as you plan to make your New Year resolutions, we thought it wise to give you an insight of the top employers in Kenya so that when you make the resolutions, they should be aligned along those specs. As we have advised before in this very important resource, never pick an employer because of the name. Job seekers normally go for the multi – nationals and companies with stature in the country forgetting to do a good analysis of the work conditions and salaries. Never be proud that you work for a big bank and your salary is Kshs. 25,000 just take care that what goes into your pocket is what should make you proud of your employer.

Sharpening you corporate communication skills: Eye contact…

Communicating is simple but complex, as it involves both verbal and nonverbal components. Verbal communication is what you say, or the words you use. Nonverbal communication is how you say it. What tone of voice are you using? What facial expression do you have? Do your gestures indicate defensiveness and anger? Scholars say that nonverbal communication carries far more weight than verbal communication. Interestingly, it is your nonverbal gestures that are more difficult to control. One of these is eye contact. You communicate a great deal through eye contact, and it is hugely important.

First, when you are communicating to someone, you use your eyes as much as your voice to gain or hold their attention. Your eyes express your emotions, such as intensity, seriousness or joy. You can say something that sounds serious but is meant to tease, and it is the twinkle in your eye that helps the recipient distinguish what is intended.
