ESTABLISHED IN 2020

One of our key components to success is the people we work with and for. Our AltGen Employment Services office in Pofadder has undertaken numerous projects for the benefit of the Khâi-Ma region and its inhabitants. AltGen Employment Services has the privilege of establishing our office in the Kliphuis building on Kerk Street, which is a National Heritage Site. 

We provide a customised outsourced Employment Service for our clients by assuming responsibility for the administration of the entity establishment as well as employment – including all legal compliances, statutory deductions, recordables, and employee relationship management including incentives.

WORFORCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

One of the challenges surrounding IPP’s ED obligations is how to create meaningful jobs. This is where AltGen’s Workforce Management Programme can help. Through a collaborative community approach with our clients, we have carried out projects such as seamstress training, installing food gardens, providing support to old age homes, assisting at post offices, and cleaning schools and police stations.

Did you know that we offer these services in Namibia and Botswana?

TRACK RECORD

AltGen has three complimentary services which facilitate the job creation ecosystem, being executive search, employment, and consulting services. The consulting arm of the business focuses heavily on understanding skills and job analysis as well as HR and training within the sustainability space. The three services are what attribute to our ability to have a holistic approach to the way we serve our clients, from HR through to understanding the skills on the market and thus sourcing the appropriate professionals who generate an ROI on start.
