This may be positive but its very informal to do as a qualified HR manager

Kumene has a more established induction programme as new employees are given letters as to what they are supposed to do and they’re given opportunities to get comfortable with the environment through work sample tests, the workers are also taken on a tour of the building. The work sample test is normally time constraining and pricey in Kumene as valuable Resources are used.
In Brecon they is no proper form of induction. The employees are just given a letter of what is expected for them and they have to get into the groove of the environment without assistance which is cheap and time isn’t wasted at all so there is more productivity

Brecon need a whole new system where they should get a qualified HR manager who will go by the book and ensure that employees are working to the best of they ability. The lace of recent productivity could be because of the lack of human
