Conducive working environment

My type of work involves working both in the office and visiting operators to conduct audits, inspections and investigations in their sites. We have a good working relationship in our office which is based in our company values which are Integrity and Trust; Transparency; Fairness and Equity; Innovation and Speed of Execution. During my stay with company I have learnt team work, strategy development and execution, leadership and mentoring of junior staff, time management using project management concept. Some of the challenges include working irregular and long hours, balancing relationship with stakeholders and execution of our company mandate.

Pros: Involvement when serious decicions are taken.
Cons: Irregular and long working hours and sometimes stay work away from home

Great and Dynamic working environment.

A typical day at work includes lots of reading on railway policies, process, and procedures. On a good day you get to travel the country and visit sites where you must inspect the working conditions. The coworkers within the organizations do their best to make it as warm an environment as any. I have leant the impact poor leadership has on an organization, its employees and the importance of maintaining good employee work morale. In the beginning I enjoyed the traveling the most but now I hunger for growth as I am still young and need to have ambitions related to my work. The most challenging aspect of this job is the idea of being the best of both worlds, we are not placed within a single department with a streamline function instead we are in between departments and part take in all kinds of activities. It is excellent for skills development but terrible for mastering anything.

Pros: Prestige.
Cons: Unstable work environment.

An excellent exposure and learning experience with a fair amount of challenges

The typical environment in which I work at the RAILWAY SAFETY REGULATOR involves extensive interaction with various business units at the RSR. This includes participating actively at EXCO and Senior Executives meetings providing advise on all labour related matters and dispute management and resolution. Most of my time is spent on developing policies and procedures and raising awareness with workers and management. Further to that will be an extensive stakeholder management ensuring a smooth flow of information sharing and consultation. Strategic involvement in decision making processes is also my competecy which desires a lot of work on research and development, whilst providing oversight on all dispute management processes.

Pros: great management responsibility
Cons: stress levels very high

Excellent learning curve

The RSR is a great company to work for. There are lot of opportunities for growth and development especially when you are starting a career. It is a young organisation in terms of workforce age as well as existent. The relationship with colleagues is very great, its a homely environment and employees live the values of the organisation. There are no issues of bureaucracy and at times learning is through the hard way by being put in the deep end. There is a lot of pressure that affect one's wellness due to unrealistic deadlines.

Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: Long working hours
