A typical day at the office
A request for a new project is sent through with some technical detail, one has to do a little bit of research in terms of what the scope requires, has this ever been done before by whom and when. Consultations begin with the various technical expertise in the business with some forthcoming with information and others not. One has to be mindful of timelines, some projects stimulate the creativity side of me others are not and that’s where I bounce of the idea with fellow colleagues. One feels happy when targets for supplier development are sent through to relevant buyer however on some days it’s not like that you read through a pile of legislations trying to make sense of how best to apply to a project. Scope is not clarified as much as you would like however decisions have to be made with little information and that’s challenging however exciting.
Pros: Interaction with people from all walks of life, changing the lives of people through the contracts they are awarded and the smile that it brings to them is so fulfilling.
Cons: The work is a lot and there is no much support from management.

HI Generalist
My day to day work in the company is on remuneration and benefits for employees,recruitment,IR,performance management. I love interacting with employees both employer and Employee.Advising on HE issues. I have also learned that working with people everyday can be challenging but at the end you learn to deal with them differentlyrics. The most challenging part is when it comes to salaries where people sometimes think that they must get the same amount on bonuses,not knowing that it depends on the rating and the salary one gets.
Pros: Career Growth
Cons: none

Best training programme
During training so far at Eskom I have learnt lots of things at Distribution about how the manage to keep the business going by making sure they give quality of supply to customers. I have learnt to communicate effectively and work in teams. working environment was very good they treat one another the same way its like we come from the same family. The most challenging thing about the job is when there is breakdown and the electric supply is cut off for some time say from 6am to 6pm to do maintenance and customers keep on asking when the supply will return.
Pros: great opportunity of training and learning programme
Cons: working overtime which is not paid to trainees

Good work environment but no consultation by managers with employees.
Management does not engage employees regularly and include them in major changes to the operations of the company therefore no buy in from employees.
Pros: Good training & development opportunities
Cons: Not enough reward & recognition for good work performed
