    The challengesOffice politics among three shareholders who thinks that they are better than direct hire. Stop trying to pay people more to stay in a bad environment and instead create environment people look forward to being part of every day.

    Importance of safety
    The good things, KPOC taught me about the importance of safety during working. They developed a program named “Care Card” where all the employees are advised to take part on reporting any hazards at working place. Moreover, weekly, there will be a 30 minutes safety meeting where SHO presented on how to work in safely manner. Hence, it can be said that safety measures is one of the important key to be implemented in all companies to be a successful organization.
    The challengesNothing much. The company provide enough facilities.
