Learning and growth time
In absence of any branch manager I also provide support to their teams. I have a very professional relationship with all my colleagues and its always a pleasure to have them around since most of the time they are working in the field. we respect each other and I always motivate everyone to do their best as its very tough in Insurance industry and competition is very high as well. I have over the years learnt to be very patient with everyone since we are all different and also learnt to be respectful at all times whether a person is younger or older. I enjoy interaction with internal or external clients its always interesting to meet different people and whenever there is a new thing to be learnt I am always keen. I am mostly challenged by non performers and working closely to finding solutions to assist them.
Pros: My Monday starts with extracting previous week's production reports from Cognos and forwarding to Branch managers for them to compile their branch reports and once they did that I am responsible for compiling one report for the entire region which consists of 15 Branches. I am on a deadline because there is a time frame as to when the report needs to be submitted to the EXCO, therefore I sometimes have to push them to submit on time. I always make sure that everything is running smoothly in all offices even if I am not personally there all there time, technical reporting is also done through me. I am also dealing with recruitment process together with Human resources. In absence of any branch manager I also provide support to their teams. I have a very professional relationship with all my colleagues and its always a pleasure to have
Cons: working on saturdays and public holidays
