Employee of the month

This month, the Umtha awards went to mother and son. Every month Umtha gives an ‘employee of the month’ award. This award is based on set criteria and is a challenge to earn. Luxolo Dubase oversees Umtha’s packaging and packing department. His mother Jostina, is Umtha’s longest standing employee and has recently been promoted to production supervisor. This middle management position provides Jostina with a great opportunity to hone and develop her skills. She was awarded Umtha’s ‘special award’ this month for showing great aptitude in her new position.
