OF
THOMAS BOUCHER
PREAMBLE
After having completed my undergraduate studies at NWU, Vaal Campus, I have endeavored to make a success of my life and career. I am passionate about what I do and am goal driven. I have a stable personality and enjoy a challenge, while see- ing projects through to the end. I set high standards for myself, am self-motivated with a high level of initiative.
I am a qualified HR & IR Specialist with more than 9 years’ experience in Industri- al Relations and Human Resource Management within the Temporary Employ- ment Services, Transport, Metal, Engineering & Construction industry. In 2017, I started to assist and shadow an experienced HR Manager. I had 8 employees reporting to me and in 2021 I started as an HR Manager overseeing 300 employ- ees.
Although I have a strong grasp of Labour Legislation, I have developed my man- agement, IR and HR generalist skills through dedicated study and on-job experi- ence. I also have excellent communication and computer skills. My most significant strength is that I am extremely organised. This strength al- lows me to better myself and my work. I am extremely set on attending to all mat- ters effectively, sufficiently and expeditiously. I am hard working and always ea- ger to learn from my peers, leaders and managers.
My career objectives are to utilise and develop my obtained knowledge, experi- ence and skills in order to excel in my profession. I strive to assist and advise clients to the best of my abilities. I am very focused and hardworking and be- lieve that my skills, together with my willingness to learn, will enable me to be a valuable contributor to any firm/company.
