Personal and Professional Impact Programme (Work Readiness)

About this programme:

There is a significant need in South Africa to enhance the performance of an organisation and individuals by focusing on the integration of work seekers into organisations. There is a need to reduce the gap which often exists between employers’ expectations of the skills and knowledge of employees entering the workplace, and the actual levels of awareness of business and commercial processes that new work seekers have actually gained.

The Personal and Professional Impact Programme will support the optimal transition of new employees into the organisation, to ensure that the levels of energy and enthusiasm remain high and productive as employees progress into their respective roles. Delegates attending the programme are better prepared to be productive at work and have an improved sense of what is expected. Appropriate dress, improved communication, understanding of policies, procedures and the values and ethics of the organisation are examples of the outcomes delivered.
