Harry believes that when you choose the right person, train and prepare them properly, and give them a safe and rewarding workplace, you will have a dedicated employee for many years. This belief led to the development of the program "Ready For Work". Nuqsana offers this 1 and 2 week program to all new employees.

The program provides training to address the following areas:

  • Family Commitments

  • Living in a cash economy
  • Applying IQ values.

Nuqsana has found that this simple yet effective program benefits employees and employers alike. It has played a key role in leading to contented, dedicated workers that are committed to their employer.
