My experience working as Training & HR Manager at Transnet Port Terminals
My current work environment is highly unionized, and it requires that one be abreast of recent developments, in the Employment Relations landscape, and the whole HR fraternity. With this in mind, one is able to craft strategies including labour leadership and even engaging employees in matters that will affect them directly and indirectly. I have acted as the HR manager for both business units, and it did not come easy, but consulting levels above my current grade as well conducting research on challenges facing the business, has been the best method ever. Regards Nozipho
Pros: Great career advancement opportunity
Cons: Challenging environment always presenting pressure.

Good opportunities
Time management is important as we work closely with customers. I set example to my sub-ordinates by becoming reliable, available, and always on time. Relationship between myself and co-workers is good as they report any challenges, innovations, and progress in time and so do I to them and senior management. I have learnt a lot in terms of communication, leadership, logistics, reporting skills to mention few but not limited. Most challenging is to report to customers not reasons of not reaching the target as requested.
Pros: Oppotunities of promotion are available.
Cons: Working longer hours and on weekend
