The Reunert coaching and mentorship programme was introduced in 2003,
to enable staff to benefit from the structured coaching from experienced
employees.
The programme is aimed at the retention and development of high-performing
staff, and particularly to attract and attain high-calibre staff from previously
disadvantaged communities. The programme assists in integrating new employees,
and is instrumental in the development and promotion of existing employees.
To date, 284 staff participated in the programme, of which a significant
number have already attended follow-up sessions.
This year the Reunert Core Coaches initiative was launched, producing
19 coaches who will be deployed in a number of Reunert companies. They
will be trained to qualify to a stage one international qualification.
This will enable the group to accelerate the programme and to ensure that
regular follow-up takes place. As part of a scientific and integrated
approach, both mentors and protégés attend an initial training programme
which provides the framework for future career and personal development.
Not only does the programme assist employees to focus on career goals,
but it assists participants also to understand themselves and their relationship
with others. This process causes employees to become more effective in
the business environment, whilst at the same time assisting them to improve
the enjoyment of their personal lives.
As many of these staff members take part in accelerated development programmes,
significant emphasis is given to achieving equity with integrity and understanding
the correlation between output and remuneration. Achievement of staff who
attended the programme continues to be most encouraging. |
