Title Improving Astronomer Professionals' Work Uncovering the Hidden Hobgoblin of Efficiency

As astronomer professionals, we strive for excellence in our work, continually seeking ways to enhance our skills and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll explore how astronomers can improve their work by examining the importance of governance, discipline, and professionalism.

The Importance of Governance

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, there is a hidden hobgoblin lurking beneath the surface, waiting to pounce on our productivity inefficiency. The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) serves as a prime example of how effective governance can lead to improved outcomes.

As the primary provider of social security and insurance benefits for Filipino government employees, GSIS plays a crucial role in ensuring the financial well-being of its members. At the helm of this esteemed institution is Chief Jose Arnulo Veloso, who has navigated calls for his resignation amidst allegations of fund losses.

Denying Fund Losses A Testament to Governance

Veloso vehemently denied reports of P8.8 billion in losses, assuring the 2.8 million GSIS members that the agency is strong and making money. As a professional banker, he emphasized his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of members' funds.

The Power of Professional Governance

GSIS Chief Veloso highlighted the significance of governance in managing investments. He explained that 19% of their investments are in equities, which undergo a rigorous screening process to ensure financial soundness. Not a single centavo gets approved without going through the proper process – even if he's the president and general manager.

Discipline is Key

Veloso stressed the importance of discipline in investment strategy, citing the agency's iron-clad safeguards as the bedrock of their management. He emphasized that a principles-based approach is crucial, ensuring that every investment proposal is vetted by internal research offices, committees, and the full board before approval.

Lessons for Astronomer Professionals
