With the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic employee health and safety is paramount for companies. Ensuring employees return to 'normal' work life with minimum risks of virus transmission is becoming a serious HR challenge. Cemex HR, a leading HR technology provider, has developed a Covid-19 vaccination tracker that monitors and alerts companies of employee vaccination status.
The employee vaccination tracker will enable HR departments to gain data-driven insights related to the vaccination rate of their workforce. This allows organisations to make informed decisions around workforce planning and staffing needs. The Covid-19 vaccination tracker would ensure that employees are vaccinated on time, and they don't become a threat to other members of the staff. It provides timely alerts to remind HR departments of delayed or due vaccination/ booster shots so that HR managers can plan their human resources accordingly.
"As a business you would want to simplify and track employee vaccination protocol. We identified the need to digitise this function to support new work conditions. The function enables our Cemex HRM customers to check employee vaccination status, track vaccination doses, location, type of vaccination and display this information on a dashboard. In addition, HR departments can also run detailed and real time reports on all employee vaccination," said Sandun Fernando, Chief Operating Officer of Cemex HRM, on the employee Covid-19 vaccination tracking module available on its cloud based HRM software.
The uncertainty of the pandemic cannot be ruled out, however at a time when all organisations are returning to normalcy, employee vaccine tracker can be a powerful tool as it eliminates employee absenteeism, sudden staff quarantines, unexpected Covid-19 positive spreads, delays, errors, stress, and inefficiencies for the companies. It will support organisations to implement truly effective procedures for the well-being of employees and decrease staff downtime, thereby ensuring a Covid-19 safe working environment.
"This would be a human resource planning tool for HR departments. With the information available, they can be prepared for vaccine related leave, prevent staff falling ill due to not being vaccinated, and possibly reduce the risks of spreading the virus and avoid a possible quarantine for the business," Sandun Fernando said.
Cemex HRM is a Microsoft cloud backed digitised workforce collaboration tool that is helping businesses to streamline their routine HR functions and focus on their core business. Cemex Software (Pvt) Ltd, is a fast growing HR Tech company changing the future of traditional workplace. The company is backed by their parent company Cenmetrix (Pvt) Ltd, with over 15+ years market experience.

The New Moon in Aquarius has occurred, conjunct Saturn in its own sign, challenged by Uranus in Taurus. Aquarius is the sign of hopes, dreams and wishes... and friends! It is also about freedom and humanity. Now I do not subscribe to Uranus being the ruler of Aquarius, not even the co-ruler as some do. […]

Market turnover turned positive, driven by the Softlogic Group of companies, stock market analysts said.
However, the stock market earlier ended a tumultuous week suffering the sharpest falls in recent months though a late rally on Friday lifted hopes of investors and with yesterday's positive market performance it had fully recovered, analysts said.
Yesterday the market witnessed some positive gains driven by the retail market and the notable gains reported in the Softlogic Group of companies, although this development could not be accounted for. However, it gave some impetus to the entire market by touching both indices upwards, accompanied by healthy turnover. The All- Share Price Index rose by 138 points and S and P SL20 went up by 15.3 points. Turnover stood at Rs 6.9 billion without any crossings.
In the retail market top seven companies that mainly contributed to the turnover were, Softlogic Capital Rs 1 billion (63.2 million shares traded), Softlogic Life Insurance Rs 1 billion (5.1 million shares traded), Expolanka Holdings Rs 792 million (2.2 million shares traded), Softlogic Holdings Rs 460 million (6.6 million shares traded), Browns Investments Rs 269 million (17.4 million shares traded), LOLC Holdings Rs 209 million (174,000 shares traded) and Agstar PLC Rs 170 million (13.7 million shares traded). During the day 317 million share volumes changed hands in 39000 transactions.
Yesterday, the Softlogic Group of companies recorded gains. Those were; the Softlogic CapitaI PLC share price appreciated by Rs 5.30 or 38 per cent. Its share price shot up to Rs 19.40 from Rs 14.10, Softlogic Life Insurance share price appreciated by Rs 38.75 or 22 per cent. Its share price moved up to Rs 217.25 from Rs 178.50, Softlogic Holdings share price appreciated by Rs 14.30 or 20 per cent. Its share price increased to Rs 73.40 from Rs 59.10.
The CSE turned positive yesterday because December corporate quarterly results that were released to date have been positive. However, Asian markets, especially South Korea, led a rebound in Asia's emerging market shares on Friday, but were set for their biggest weekly decline since the onset of the pandemic, as investors brace for a year of aggressive rate hikes from the US Federal Reserve.
Shares in Seoul rose 1.9 per cent to pare some of the heavy losses recorded over the last few days, but were still on course for a nearly 6% weekly drop. The won weakened 0.3 per cent. US stock futures rose in Asia trade, while equities in Mumbai, Bangkok and Shanghai traded 0.2 per cent to 1.3 per cent higher, recouping some losses made in Thursday's aggressive share sell-off, Reuters reported.
Yesterday, the US dollar was quoted at Rs 201.56, which was the Central Bank controlled price to stop the dollar rate from going up in order to prevent escalation of prices of imported essential items for the country. The actual rate is Rs 250 and above, market sources said.

GSK Sri Lanka has taken the initiative to launch a globally recognized education program for healthcare professionals known as CARE; Clinical Advances in Respiratory Education in collaboration with the Sri Lanka College of pulmonologists.
CARE is an academic initiative on respiratory medicine presented by GSK Sri Lanka, which will be an online learning platform where the participants could enroll, and complete learning modules related to respiratory medicine at their convenience. All the learning materials available on the platform are developed by leading expert medical professionals and upon completion of each module, the participant is being granted CPD points.
GSK is a leading multinational pharmaceutical company with a mission to help people "Do more, Feel better and Live longer." As a part of this mission GSK has been facilitating numerous educational initiatives across the country for many decades, and having the global footprint has enabled GSK Sri Lanka to bring best in class educational programs to develop the knowledge and practices of healthcare professionals enabling them to make the most appropriate treatment decisions for their patients.
The latest initiative with Sri Lanka College of Pulmonologists is yet another milestone in its medical education journey.
Here are some perspectives from GSK and leading pulmonologists in the country.
GSK Brand Manager – Respiratory Prasad Magammana said: "Since the beginning of COVID-19 as a pandemic, most of the scientific medical activities were shifted to an online format, in the form of webinars, to maintain continuous medical education (CME). For patients to benefit from novel medical innovations, guidelines and management practices HCPs need to access and understand the latest available data and clinical use of the products.
"Our ability to provide or clarify new data and management guidelines to HCPs plays a crucial part in this process. Further, we assessed physicians' attitude among different medical specialties towards this sudden and unexpected shift and wanted to bring an innovative learning experience. CARE is a program that matches the modern-day requirement of the HCPs, where they have the luxury to decide when they learn and how they learn."
Sri Lanka College of Pulmonologists Immediate Past President Consultant Respiratory Physician Dr. Nandika Harischandra said: "COVID-19 pandemic has changed our way of life in many aspects. Offering a solution to the challenge of updating the knowledge in COVID era GSK has come forward with the CARE Sri Lanka program, which is an e based self-learning platform. Since this program covers very important aspects of respiratory medicine such as Asthma, COPD and Allergic rhinitis, I sincerely hope that Sri Lankan doctors will enjoy this learning journey and gain maximum benefit to update knowledge in respiratory medicine. I thank GSK for this great initiative, and I wish all the very best."
Sri Lankan College of Pulmonologists Academic Chair Consultant Respiratory Physician Dr. Dushantha Madagedara said: "Because of the pandemic, every step of the education has changed and we are in a constant effort to find new avenues to update the knowledge of the medical fraternity. I am very happy as the academic chair of SLCP to have partnered with GSK to collaborate in launching this program that will support Sri Lankan doctors in continuously engaging and developing their knowledge through an innovative e-learning platform."
Sri Lanka College of Pulmonologists President Consultant Respiratory Physician Dr. Geethal Perera said: "I am happy to note that GSK, a pioneering company in Respiratory care, has taken this initiative to introduce this innovative and friendly educational platform to the Sri Lankan Doctors in collaboration with Sri Lanka College of Pulmonologists. Especially in these unprecedented times, it is important for every doctor, no matter what field they are in, to have updated knowledge in the basics of respiratory medicine.
"This is a convenient and a risk-free pathway to brush up the essentials of respiratory medicine within the comfort of their own homes or clinics. Local academics have reviewed the content of the course and have ensured that it remains relevant to the local context while retaining all the innovative features of the platform. Every participant will be awarded a certificate with the endorsement of the college at the successful completion of this course. I believe Sri Lankan doctors and the patients will be benefitted alike from this exercise."
GSK Sri Lanka Head of Medical Dr. Chatura Jayakody said: "CARE is a knowledge hub, which will go through continuous evaluations, and we are committed to update the modules to bring the maximum benefit to the participants. It's a great privilege to lead this project in Sri Lanka and most importantly, this reflects GSK's continued commitment to partner in medical education. I wish all the Sri Lankan doctors very best in the CARE journey."

unexpected, especially with disruptive Uranus exactly conjunct the IC or nadir of the chart. Also expect the public to be expressive and vent their feelings. This could also be in reaction to unexpected and even shocking developments.
