#SistaHoodHourConversations

The conversation with Eskom Pension and Provident Fund's Internal Auditor, Relebogile "Lebo" Legalamitlwa was similar to catching up with a dear friend who was placed just at the right time to remind you what passion, purpose and timing mean. Auditing in many a mind is a profession that is quite daunting, especially for those of us who are not in it, however it is crucial to any organisation's success, longevity and the manner in which it operates. Culture, policies, procedures, operations and compliance - those are words that form part of auditing and Lebo shares what the team's role is at EPPF. We also spoke about Lebo's work to help high school learners with Mathematics and Accounting - coming full circle and realising that she was also learning through this journey of life.  To learn more about EPPF, please visit https://www.eppf.co.za 

It was only after reading the King Report a few years ago that I personally understood the importance of good governance in an organization and the role that risk and compliance played. Levern Forley, is Risk and Complaince Officer at the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund (EPPF) and by listening to her speak about her work and the environment that she is in, you hear the deep passion and pride that she has - and willingness to share her knowledge. An advocate for wellness, women taking ownership of their lives and careers, Levern trusts the journey she is on and the way that it is unfolding.   To learn more about the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund, please visit: https://www.eppf.co.za 

My conversation with Shyless Nkuna, Head of Human Resources (Human Experiences) at the Eskom Pension and Provident Fund (EPPF) made my heart smile and reminded me of the times I've met and spoken to people who view HR the way that she does. We not only spoke about her career progression, but Shyless really opened up about the value she knows and believes people bring into an organization. I'm excited to know that EPPF is doing things differently too - moving forward and empowering their staff, not just talking about it but ensuring they follow through.
