Excellent people management, cooperative in team work

I have passion for my job because I learn everyday. Working with different people from different cultures is good but challenging sometimes, but I end up winning. I can work under pressure. I enjoy performing on-the-job training, assessing and coaching, as it increases my level of knowledge and understanding. Communication between my co-workers makes my job easier. I believe in future if I can get the higher position I will be able to perform very well because of what I learn everyday.

Pros: great opportunity for promotion
Cons: long working hours

A simple, honeest and hardwoking

Working in Dwarsrivier is always wonderful, considering the teams and their love for the jobs they are doing. As a former training instructor and now a shop steward it is a daily issue to always engage with the majority of our young employees on daily basis and the relationship is excellent and very healthy. working and engaging with different people is always a new challenge and that is the most enjoyable moments of my life. Most challenging aspect is to be in disciplinary hearing that is presided over by an officer who does not have information on case handling.

Pros: i have prospects of being promoted
Cons: i am used to working long hours as per the nature of my job

Learning

The typical day at work is to assist employees with enquiries e.g. leave day balances, personal issues. To advise managers regarding labour and IR. To conduct interviews, disciplinary enquiries and meetings with HOD of my responsible area. I have a good working relationship with my colleagues, Managers and lower level employees. I make time for everyone regardless their positions. I have learned a lot during my time at my work place especially cultures of differnt races. I enjoy my work especially when I could've assist and advise someone who leave my office happy and greatful. My most challenging aspects is to try and convince the workforce on change management.

Pros: Growth
Cons: Negativity in workforce

My current company is viewed as the very attractive employer of choice.

I am viewed by the people I serve as great leader. I have been contributing to this company since 2010 September and I have changed many people's life. I have an ability to spot the talent and I normally recommend for peoples development. I see people as a great assets and believe if we invest in them the company will reap the benefits. My daily business revolves around serving the line management on issues pertaining to HR. My job is very challenging because of the dynamic people I am serving and I must ensure consistency and maintain the company policies and standards.

Pros: Promotional opportunities always available
Cons: Normal working hours

Very good company to work for, but there is a life after the mining industry

pay queries ,, receive timesheets from all departments timesheets capture on Excel and do filing. I am a straight person, it is ether right or wrong, no grey areas. I am not here to be your friend. , you cannot afford by making mistakes with other peoples money. I really love my job and the more I have learnt, the more I want to learn. it is good for me because I day I might needed it. I enjoy working with figures. I love to do recons, looking for a problem if any. The most challenging aspect of my current job is to try and have no mistakes during a pay run and that every employee received their money correct and on time.

Pros: There is chance for promotion, but the unions must first agree.
Cons: Every thing relating to your salary, must be decided by the union and management.
