Cape Town TenaCiTi programme selects 2nd cohort

0

A second cohort of participants has been selected for the Cape Town-based TenaCiTi programme, which aims to help small business owners upskill their employees and create highly productive staff.

The TenaCiTi programme was initially launched in September of last year through a partnership between the Cape Innovation and Technology Initiative (CiTi) and the #cocreateSA initiative.

Strategic HR interventions between the business owner and junior recruits will be facilitated by human resource consultancy firm LaytonMelville.

“LaytonMelville’s aim is to bring awareness to businesses that Human Resources is not an auxiliary, admin-laden area of a company but is of key, strategic importance. People matter incredibly within any business and certainly, arguably more so, within a small business,” said executive managing director and founder Jonathan Layton-Nel.

“Our aim was to instil an understanding of the value of building up junior recruits within a company through setting well-defined goals and objectives, through a documented Goal Development Plan, and thinking creatively about how to best incentivise and facilitate development.”

Through the TenaCiTi programme, business owners have been given more clarity on how to better run their HR systems, with considerable benefits.

Damian Michael, MD of InnovoNetwork, has found the TenaCiTi programme has helped him significantly within his HR department.

“Tenaciti has helped me implement great HR Tools, Policies and Procedures within my organisation. I’ve learnt an immense amount regarding HR as well as my intern who was on the programme increased in morale, leadership and execution of his responsibilities,” he said.
