We are open to all businesses in all sectors and there are no restrictions in the form or extent of human resources

SOUNDCOMPLIANCEPOLICIES
Failure to comply with labour legislation could result in non-compliance and have a negative impact on the
growth and sustainability of companies in SA. Compliance is therefore essential to protect the future of
business.
Further regulation of the labour laws requires expertise and knowledge to drive compliance and protect
business from risk. This is our area of expertise. Thus, understandably so, our clients rely on us to provide the
systemsandprocessesthatarealignedwithanynewlegislation.
Our team of five attorneys, two SA advocates and five IR specialists ensure Workforce's regulation to a
multitude of laws and regulations with which we and our clients need to comply; and ongoing monitoring and
adjustment of our systems, processes and contracts is essential. Furthermore, we are active participants in the

Workforce serves all economic sectors and operates in South Africa and Africa. We boast an extensive national

By nature of our business, this branch infrastructure is continually expanding as it provides the platform from
which service delivery takes place. Our operations are structured into various operating regions, headed by
strong decentralised management teams. This management structure is a major strength as it underpins the
operational flexibility required to enable management decisions to be made at the point of contact and to
tailor service offerings to suit client needs. The nature of our business requires quick response times and
having local branches and a local database, facilitates this. When a contract requires it, we open a fully

Three years ago, we introduced the Business Process Outsourcing solution to our client who operates in the
waxproductionindustry.
Onthiscontract,staffarepaidperhourwiththeclientinvoicedonproductionoutputperweek. Theclient'sfixed
staffing costs have been converted into variable costs to suit the client's production needs. The benefit of
creating staffing flexibility in the production environment is the medium to long term cost savings, which our
clienthaspositivelyexperienced.
All input requirements are based on our client's production requirements, so if the production is low in a
particularmonth,thentheinputcomponentisadjustedaccordingly;andviceversawhentheproductionishigh.
Headcount plays a major role in the success of this contract; therefore production targets are set weekly and are
basedonourclient'ssalesforecast. Basedonthetargets,theshiftsareplannedandtheclientisinformedonhow
many machines will be running a week in advance. By having this information on hand, our client is able to
effectivelyactiontheirsalesplan.
CaseStudyTwo
Based on our recommendation, our client in the plastic manufacturing industry implemented the
productivitybasedpricingsolutiontwoyearsago.
On this contract, staff are paid on productivity. This has proven to be highly motivational for the staff working at
our client because the harder they work to produce more, the more they earn at end of the month. Initially, we
noticedproductivitywaslow,mainlyduetolackofknowledgeoftheclient'sprocesses. Thiswasquicklyresolved
with on-site training. Once staff felt more comfortable with the processes, productivity exceeded the client's
expectations.
CaseStudyThree
Our client in the steel manufacturing industry contracted our services over a three year period on a full

On this contract, we are fully responsible for the finishing, storage and loading for despatch of various steel
products thatour clientmanufactures. Ourservicesincludeallaspectsofthecontractmanagement,safety,
