Head of Groupe Nduom (GN) and founder of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom has refuted allegations that he has dismissed some of his workers for not supporting his presidential ambitions in the just ended December 7 elections.<\/p>\n
According to him, a corporation such as Groupe Nduom, which has many companies under it, faces challenges and reforms that may cause shifts and dismissal.<\/p>\n
He pointed out for example that, the group undertakes periodic assessments at the end of every year to know the capabilities of all workers for reforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you take me as an individual I do business in many different countries and nowhere have I gone to look for somebody to come and work for me and my first question to that person is which political party are you affiliated to, never, never. I always want to get the best person, and thankfully we have some of the best people working for us at Groupe Ndoum,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom time to time what happens is we shift course. We change our strategy, from time to time, some people also, they do the wrong things, some even steal and as we go along we keep track of who is doing what, who is not doing what they are supposed to do and then when we get to the end of the year, we do an assessment and we decide that we will do less of this one, more of that one,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He stated that, like every serious organization, individual commitment to hard work\u00a0 is the reason why workers are given targets to examine their contribution to the companies sustainability.<\/p>\n
He maintained that the group employs such methodology to assess the weaknesses and strengths of all members to allow some move to better positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look at the people we have , if you look at some the managers who might be in this room they are going through a comprehensive assessment of all the people work for us, all over the world. They are going through it.\u00a0 What I tell my managers is that at the end of the year, we give you a target, if you meet your target you\u2019ve only earned your pay if you miss your target you owe us money, if you exceed your target then you can come and sit down and say\u00a0 you need more money,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
He stated that such exercises allow the groupe to know the workers who must receive pay rise and those that need encourage, while those who are not interested are fired.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2017, people will not get a pay increase, will that be they are not members of the PPP, absolutely not.\u00a0 There are some people who we have fired because they stole. There are some who have been doing some things even while we were campaigning \u00a0or during the course\u00a0 of the year and the MD let go, have they been let go because they are NDC or NPP or CPP people, absolutely not\u201d.<\/p>\n
He argued\u00a0 that it will be absurd for any worker to say that he or she has engaged in politics at the work place to the extent that it will reach his attention.<\/p>\n
