ACHIEVEMENTS

I slashed the payroll costs by 34% in line with the NEC Collective Bargaining Agreement and consulted management and placed some of the staffs on short time for twelve months before retrenchment to align the staff costs with the revenue.

I negotiated with the statutory bodies over debts for payment plans before they raise complaints against the company to avoid litigation.

I conducted the skills audit analysis to establish the skills gap before I made the informed decisions like training and staff transfer to improve efficiency.

I introduced the leave plans informed by the leave reports to reduce the leave liability which impacts on the profitability of the company.

I initiated the installation of the Sip line to solve the problem of connectivity with the customers arising from on and off functionality of TelOne landlines to improve the sales.

I hired fixed term contract workers to improve manpower levels after the company won a tender worth USD800 000 of supplying and delivering of protective clothing with a time-line of two months to meet and exceed the sales target.
