Great Exposure in the BBBEE space

I am an HR professional of more than 16 years and had the privilege of working for blue chip companies like BMW, SAB, Total and now Aveng. Being exposed to different industries and spending a just over a year in Retail Operations was significant in enriching my professional experience. My Career highlights were a lot more pronounced a SAB,Total and now Aveng, detail of which are on the first page of my attached CV. The manufacturing sector had been unstable for a while now, particularly those supplying mining support product, hence my desire to explore other industries. I am looking for an opportunity for further growth in my career while bringing my experience to add value to an organisation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Pros: Looking for transition to the next level in my career
Cons: Next to a factory that burns tyres.

Great learning environment particularly on transformation matters

My typical day work is on consulting stakeholders and guiding decision making both at strategic and operational level. Monitoring and tracking team performance especially on administrative issues. I get along well with colleagues and enjoy the respect for my professional contribution towards the team. What i enjoy the most is coaching management and finding solutions for various business challenges. The most challenging aspect of the role is navigate cooperate red tape and balancing it with business needs at a point in time.

Pros: Great leaning environment and based close to my house
Cons: The factory is based in a potentially hazardous environment from a health point of view.

I'm a person who is always eager to learn and i feel growth in a person life is essential one need to grow within the company and life it self. My Duties is basically calculate and report all daily and weekly production stats I get very well along with my colleagues , being in the Safety department has taught me that we need people to make a success of anything. Without your team members you can not build or develop a company. Each persons input matters My most challenging is making targets and submitting figures to the client on time daily

Pros: Flexi Working Hours
Cons: Challenging to get Promoted or growth

Great national exposure

The company has played a major role in the industry. Many SME's has been shaped through economic transformation initiatives which also led to job creation and sustainable development within the national remote areas, where interventions are most required. A national and international footprint creates a global platform for learning and stakeholder relations. Corporate culture and governing policies does not necessarily align with the business strategy, creating unmeasurable performance outputs. Collective bargaining lacks integrity and proper competent management and direction which will assist to positive growth. The company on paper, Great. Management needs guidance and integrity.

Pros: Decent salary
Cons: Negative corporate culture. Incompetence
