Experienced operator provides new impetus for HR issues

Roux’s arrival is already having a positive impact on the whole of the UK operation.  „I want people to see me as a doer as I am a firm believer that HR should always take action which adds value to the business.  We will be launching a brand new training and induction programme company-wide in the New Year and I have a number of other initiatives which my team and I will be actioning during 2008“, says Roux.

Commenting on Roux‘ arrival, UK CEO Klaus Eberlin adds: „In the few weeks since Andrė’s arrival he has certainly had an impact on both those in his own department and the company as a whole.  He has a real drive and passion for his subject and I am sure he will play a major role in leading the organisation’s training and human resources requirement for the future“.
