One of my clients commences wage negotiations in JHB and was wondering if my network included anyone from the FMCG sector who would be prepared to share with us what their lowest grade employees earn (per hour, per week) and even their Forklift and Reach Truck drivers etc (bargaining unit information)? She would be willing to share her information with you.

Does anyone have a POLICY ON CELL PHONES & TECHNOLOGY, with regrads to taking the cell phone on site & being able to use it to photograph information in the plant & relay it to competitors.

Of the people we spoke to, no-one has a specific policy. One company thought it would be a good idea because their business is about design and new ideas.

We know that the issue should be covered by confidentiality, copyright and intellectual property clauses that people should have in their employment contracts.

Does anyone have any input ???

Two Clients of Talent Network had a number of Specialist Staff who couldn't fit into a standard Job Grading model. A Service Provider I connected them with, assisted in introducing something called Job Family Modeling & created a range of levels, so as to provide a succession path outside of management, a way of recognising & rewarding great performance / value-add & a way to retain critical Specialist Staff.

Talent Network - Collaborative Times:

My first
blog. It's 12.41 & I can't sleep & so decided to start a blog.

The aim of this blog would be to create a collaborative network of Senior HR Executives, who would like to connect with each other & share information on the challenges they face; solutions they have found; services, products & consultants that have added great value & lessons learned.

Although not limited to South Africa, the goal would be predominantly to help South African companies to connect with each other but also to see how well they stack up against the best internationally.

Please follow me on my Twitter site, which is linked to our website: www.talentnetwork.co.za
