CODEMA: A COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONAL SUCCESSFUL CASE

SECTORIAL ACTIVITY

The cooperative is no irrelevant to education and on this important social subsector belongs 138 education cooperatives in the country, with a total of 62,765 teachers affiliated to them and a generation of 13,483 jobs; according to data provided by Clemencia Dupont, chief executive of the Confederation of Cooperatives in Colombia, Confecoop.

The number of cooperatives in the educative subsector varies by department. Bogota leads the ranking with 31 entities made up of teachers, followed by Antioquia with 21 cooperatives, Cundinamarca with 13, Valle with 10, Santander, Boyaca, Huila with 8, and Norte de Santander, Tolima and Cucuta with 6.

The Magisterial Cooperative, Codema, was born in 1963 with 33 teachers, in times when the cooperative was still a incipient movement. The effort then was irradiated in other parts of the country and Bogota was promoter of other unions and educators as Canapro Cotraecun, both of great experience and impact on the educational development of the capital.

Codema brings together 27 thousand officials educators of the district who are given the variety of services. For example, to December 31, 2011 granted 15,852 loans, totaling $ 363,017,000, of which 31,655,300 are for home loans. Note that the total assets of the loan portfolio represents 87%.

“Our loans are very different from the ones on the traditional financial sector, whereas there any delay is punished immediately; the cooperative listens to the associated and offers terms of up to six months to resume his payments. It is about helping them, it is a very different philosophy, “said Ismael Beltran Rodriguez, manager of Codema.

“Additionally, we have 17 reasons or solidarity services with our associated, which leave from their children’s birth to the death of any member of their families. We serve all kinds of needs that arise throughout life. We are delivering more than $ 7,000 million for these items. This is a differential of the cooperative sector with other organizations, added the cooperative leader.

The Growth of this cooperative has been at all levels. In the past year were associated with it 1,500 new teachers and in surplus it reached $ 22 billion, which is undoubtedly a very significant benefit not only for the associated but for the national educative sector.

Among the benefits the associated received there is one that stands out and it is the non formal training in various subjects like English, for example, which has a form of “traveling classroom” that allows students (teachers or families ) to perform internships in other countries like Canada, to improve the language.

PROYECTOS PARA VISIBILIZAR EL SECTOR COOPERATIVO EN

EL MUNDO

La Alianza Cooperativa Internacional - ACI, dio comienzo a dos iniciativas importantes, una de ellas es el "World Co-operative Monitor" (antiguo Informe Global 300) y la otra, es el sitio web www.stories.coop, ambas creadas con el propósito de brindar más y mejor información sobre el sector cooperativo mundial.

Desde el 2006, la ACI comenzó la publicación del Informe Global 300, con el objetivo hacer visible el aporte e impacto del movimiento cooperativo a nivel mundial, recopilando información de las 300 cooperativas más grandes del mundo y sus principales cifras.

En este sentido, y conscientes de que el proyecto Global 300 debía crecer, la ACI hizo una alianza con el Instituto Europeo de Investigación sobre las Cooperativas y Empresas Sociales, Trento, Italia -Euricse, la cual consiste, primero, en la creación de un Comité de Pilotaje, conformado por expertos regionales que contribuirán a realzar el rigor metodológico de la recolección de información. Segundo, la ampliación de la base de datos del sector cooperativo mundial buscando recolectar información de cerca de 5000 cooperativas de diferentes subsectores.

La segunda iniciativa, es el sitio web stories.coop, el cual también se ha desarrollado con el apoyo de Euricse y pretende complementar la recolección de datos del proyecto mencionado anteriormente.

Si bien las cifras son esenciales para cuantificar el impacto del sector cooperativo en las economías de los países, es necesario complementarlas con "historias de vida", que describan su accionar diario, los aportes a la comunidad, la necesidad por la que surgen y cómo logran ser sostenibles.

Charles Gould, Director-General de la ACI, hace un llamado a todos los cooperativistas a comunicar las historias de vida que se generan alrededor de la conformación de una cooperativa, sus aportes y datos curiosos del día a día.

Las organizaciones que participen tendrán un acceso gratuito a las funciones de búsqueda que se están configurando en la página. Por su parte, las Asociaciones que tengan cooperativas afiliadas y postulen o envíen las historias de vida de algunas de estas, recibirán un informe con los datos de dichas entidades.

HOW TO CALL THE ATTENTION WITHOUT BREAKING THE WORK

If there is a difficult moment for dealing in the workplace, it is undoubtedly the announcement of the dismissal. But second on that list, we find the time to call the attention to the employee who has left the lanes provided.

Power efectuarloIn order to perform it properly without affecting the workplace environment is the desire of each good boss. The call of atention should be treated as a learning instance, a warning touch, and certainly not as a threatening and empty future but a future of change and growth.

Below, 8 useful tips

1. Think on what you want to point out

If the reprimand is on the employee’s attitude toward the task, which will be questioned is if that the person is not contributing to the organization needs. In this case, ask yourself if the employee actually knew what was expected of his role and behavior, check the records you may have about it, as induction manuals, contracts. But if the reprimand is over the results should be analyzed thoroughly the causes and solutions. Assess the individual instance, but not losing the instance sight of teamwork that led to this situation.

2. Listen

It is a sign of respect to hear the version of events according to the employee. But do not do it for being respectful and nothing else, do it to implicate him in the analysis of the situation and finding the solutions that he should apply.

3. Take care of the details

Talk alone, in private. Take all necessary care in how to convey what he has to say, using conciliatory and positive words. Avoid interruptions by a phone call or a meeting already scheduled. His gesture will mark the dialogue style; do not confuse hard work with the stern expression.

ORGANIZATIONAL WELLFARE

4. The reason

Specify the reason for the talk from the beginning, from an objective; do not make it personal thus you will have more chances to achieve a positive reaction.

5. Do not get confused and will not confuse

Remember that your intention is not to appreciate the person, but to analyze facts or attitudes toward the task to be solved immediately.

6. Give a reprimand is not to annihilate

Your intention is to call the attention to a solution, for that, you must act with an educational sense, that is, direct, guide, provide suggestions for improving processes. If the employee notes that this is your intention, you can understand the situation and this is the first step to have your support and commitment.

7. Justice

Be equitable and fair to all employees. I have already mentioned that you must evaluate not only individual instances, but also group processes. Most of the jobs in most organizations, are made as a team. Before calling attention to the employee that will be the reason for this reprimand as thought you’re about to launch, evaluate whether it is really the only one who needs a call of attention.

8. The expected recognition

When you call attention, you should suggest strategies for solving the problem and you expects the commitment of the staff involved. It is equally keen to point out the recognition by the change that has expected. Recognize the employee who has amended his mistake, not only make good to the employee, also do well to the all the team.
