Opportunity for personal growth and development at FPGThe good thingsThe company being a JV with Procter & Gamble offered the best of what a Fortune 500 company can offer. They offered excellent opportunities for learning, self-development and career advancement with a number of employees moving on to positions of greater responsibilities, locally and overseas. My personal experience in leading a successful lab start-up project here, is testimony of this!
The challengesThe company, being a fresh start-up did not have mature systems initially and it was a \"start from scratch\" operation which had both pros and cons. The pros were the opportunity to be independent, creative and innovative. The cons were, answers to issues faced not readily available and with HR systems not fully in place and matured,employees becoming frustrated resulting in high staff turnover.
