Kaduna Electric Begins Human Capital Optimization For Enhanced Performance
In a bid to maximize human capital and foster organizational growth, Kaduna Electric has embarked on a comprehensive Staff Optimization Exercise. This initiative is aimed at strategically placing employees in roles that align with their skills and strengths, ensuring that the company operates at peak efficiency.
The optimization process, which has already covered key departments such as Operations, Regulatory Economy and Compliance, as well as Corporate Service and Strategy, focuses on identifying individuals who may not be optimally placed in their current positions. By carefully evaluating each staff member's capabilities, the company aims to reallocate resources to positions where employees can contribute most effectively.
Speaking on the development, the Team Lead Talent Management Mr. Zachariah Didam, disclosed that the company emphasizes the importance of aligning human resources with the strategic goals of the organization, fostering an environment where employees can thrive in their respective roles. "This initiative is not only about optimizing individual performance but also about ensuring that the collective effort of the workforce propels Kaduna Electric towards greater success” he said.
“As the optimization process unfolds, employees are encouraged to embrace the changes and view them as opportunities for personal and professional growth. Kaduna Electric remains dedicated to nurturing talent and creating a workplace that values the unique contributions of each team member” he said.
Residents Warned Against Constructing Buildings Near Electric Installations
Gaddafi emphasized the potential hazards of building near electric installations and the associated health risks. He addressed the issue of encroachment on power facilities, hindering the industry's operations.
“According to a study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2007, there are confirmed biological consequences resulting from intense exposure at elevated levels, potentially leading to the stimulation of nerves and muscles and alterations in nerve cells. Despite these risks, people continue to live and conduct business under or near power lines in violation of regulations. The NERC establishes a distance rule for buildings near distribution lines, but in different areas of Zamfara, the residents continuously ignore these regulations, openly defying the authorities and jeopardizing their safety by doing so.”
“ Kaduna Electric would not be held liable for mishap resulting from Right of Way violations. He urged residents to consider environmental factors and potential risks before constructing or renting in specific areas” he warned.
The community Chairman, Malam Abdullahi Kanuma who is the Director of Works and Housing, praised Kaduna Electric for raising awareness about the dangers of building near electrical installations. He acknowledged the importance of electricity for the economy but emphasized the need to be aware of its potential harm to lives and properties.
“It is crucial for everyone, including staff, to understand the risks of electricity and take precautions”.
The entire community agreed to adhere to safety measures, urging Kaduna Electric to collaborate with authorities to prevent potential dangers. Kanuma recommended creating plans to eliminate risky behavior and ensuring careful reinstallation of poles in their intended locations.
