Encouraging Empowerment Through Work Shadowing: From A Human Resources Viewpoint

In the contemporary business world we thrive in today, we are convinced that empowerment is not simply a matter of the individual’s growth. It involves nurturing the environment so that every person can thrive. This year, rather than merely focusing on our team, we are also looking at our community as showcased by our recent work shadow initiative. Namita, who spent two days with us in the office, experienced firsthand how our commitment to empowerment stretches beyond our organisation to make a positive impact on our community.

Her introduction to work shadowing began with us . The moment Namita entered our office, she was enthusiastically welcomed and instantly felt the togetherness that we as a team had with each other. We are committed to diversity and therefore, each person is made to feel valued.

“One thing that amazed me was their kindness.” Namita exclaimed, saying that they made me feel as if I belonged to the place instead of just giving me a tour around.

She echoed the organisational culture that was the wisdom of our team and the caring environment. Thus, by Namita’s side, not only did she acquaint herself with the different departments and team members, but she also participated in some of the discussions regarding her future career path. This collaborative approach, led by a structured itinerary crafted by HR, offered her valuable insights into our operations.

Our vision is clear – to be the relocation company of choice in Africa. This vision does not only explain our activities but also describes what our clients and the whole community will be like when they are with us – supported, valued, and empowered.

Our core values, i.e., Embrace Change, Uncompromising Ethics, Consider the Person, and I do it, I own it! Help in shaping our organisations culture. These values are the principles by which we live and interact with each other. They inform our behaviours and relationships, guaranteeing that every choice and initiative aligns with our commitment to excellence and responsibility.

Namita’s time with us was not just about a 2 day job shadow in the workplace; it was about taking part in a culture that values empowerment. As we continue to expand, our commitment towards empowering others through support activities like mentorship, community engagement, or sustainable business practices, will stay.

Work shadowing programs, in which people like Namita get to gain empowerment and our organisation becomes enhanced along with the community connections. Subsequently, we are looking forward to keeping environments that are not only supportive but, most importantly, beacons of empowerment that we do together as a team.

Owning empowerment as a strategic focal point this year, Relocation Africa does not only heighten individual experiences but also promotes a culture of inclusivity and growth which is echoed throughout the organisation and beyond.
