Good Learning Curve
A typical day at the work starts with me engaging with management ans line function employees to enquire regarding development need and sharing information regarding courses that is available . Engaging with fellow employees on daily basis have given me the opportunity to build good solid work relationships. My involvement in mentoring also added a great deal to the good relationsjhips i share with fellow employees. The main reason I choose to work in this enviroment was to learn. In the past eleven years working in HRD I still Learn every day. I have learned how to interact with with fellow colleques and gained fast knowledge when it comes to my work. I have a passion for training and to see growth in someone after training is most rewarding and enjoying. The current challenges I experience is working with a Manager that is not knowledgable of the work.
Pros: promotion possibilities
Cons: availability of resources

Very fast learner
Its very challenging to work for SAPS(South African Police Services) people expect magic that they see on TV/ Movies, once one has opened the case they expect the results soon eg: the suspect to be arrested right there and then, they expect the police to pay back their lost items. The public thinks EVERYBODY that works at SAPS is a Police Officer😂 even blame you for any faults. Working relationship with co workers is very important I end up knowing each and everyone's handwriting, their persal number by heart and their weaknesses as far as work is concerned. I'm very strict towards them they know me what is expected especially on the statements because I'm the one who puts an information on the system. I have learnt that people are different behaviour,personalities and being active at work. I enjoy my work it has taught me accuracy, speed and to work long hours with a smile because I work with the community for 12 hrs a day.
Pros: It takes time to be promoted especially when you're doing admin work
Cons: 12 hrs a day
