THE BUSINESS TURNAROUND & RECOVERY PROGRAMME

The Business Turnaround & Recovery Programme is an improvement turnaround initiative funded by the Department of Labour through Productivity SA.  

This Programme is aimed at preventing job losses, improving profitability and implements turnaround strategies to support companies facing operational difficulties. Its purpose is to increase overall productivity and improve organizational structures, but most importantly, save and retain jobs and make the organization productive through various interventions.

This programme is fully funded by the South African government, while the Ossymdor Group has been retained by Productivity SA as consultants, to assist with this process.

Please see the link below to complete the survey, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes and one of Ossymdor Group’s analysts will get back to you with more details.
