In order to ensure that the same principle of effective communication cascades down throughout the entire company, employee communication is managed through reporting lines to Floor Supervisors and Shop Stewards. Although these are represented as the 4th tier in our management structure, they are as important, if not more important, than all other tiers, due to our reliance on our production team to ensure that client expectations are achievable, and that potential challenges are quickly identified and addressed. Saras Production Manager Sandra/Michelle Sourcing Department Rita Bulk Design Production Vishnu/Vishal Cutting Room Priscilla Embroidery Sandra/Mala/Angie Floor Management Nishel Soccer Products Amit Trims Department Floor Supervisors Nayan (Kali) Kalidas Managing Member The overall management structure of the company is divided in to the following core elements: Owners: Because Vimal is a privately held family-owned company our ‘Board’ consists of our two owners and ‘Board Meetings’ often equate to ‘dinner at home’, where Mr. and Mrs. Kalidas are Vimal Clothing’s decision makers. Production Manager: Saras plans all aspects of our production, including the time frames required to complete orders. She also communicates with all of our customers to address production queries. Finance: Solitha is responsible for all aspects of our financial management. Soccer: Nishel is responsible for co-coordinating all of our Soccer and Sublimation orders. Floor Management: Our Production Managers (Sandra, Mala and Angie) make sure that all production orders are completed on deadline and that all goods are delivered on time to our customers. Payroll/HR: Khemie makes sure that all workers are paid on time and that all of their queries are answered satisfactorily. Trims Manager: Amit oversees the Trims Department, including the ordering of all trims to produce our goods as per client expectations of quality, cost and time. 6 Julie Design Manager Shireeta/Caroline Design Supervisors Solitha Financial Manager Khemie Payroll/HR Department Shop Stewards
Shop Stewards: The shop stewards relay all worker queries to Management and initiate meetings to discuss any problems. Design: Julie is responsible for coordinating our product development. Our financials are audited by an external service provider, as required by law, and our company registration documentation is kept up to date during our annual audit process. Policies and procedures are typically established by the relevant business unit or department manager, and are discussed amongst the management team to ensure that they are consistent with our vision, mission and values. The conduct of our employees is guided by our Code of Conduct, which is signed by each employee when they join Vimal. This Code addresses employee rights, misconduct, disciplinary counselling, grievance procedures and sanctions. Our environmental performance is monitored and measured according to our environmental policy which addresses the identification and management of impacts and emissions, the use of materials and supplies that have a reduced environmental impact, the reduction of wastes, and increasing energy efficiency. Our occupational health and safety policy is applied to ensure that the safety and well-being of employees is protected across all of our operations. This policy addresses the identification and management of risks and hazards, the training of all employees, incident and accident reporting procedures, and the management of injuries on duty. It is the responsibility of each employee to identify ways in which our environmental and safety performance can be improved. Employee engagement occurs via Shop Steward Meetings every Monday morning, with an additional meeting with concerned employees occurring on Monday afternoons. Anyone wishing to raise specific concerns about the operation of the business, or specific personal or professional challenges, are invited to use one of these two mechanisms to raise issues of specific interest or concern to the company. In special circumstances, an open door policy is maintained by Kali. Anyone wishing to ‘quietly’ discuss a specific issue is invited to call upon Kali when required. 7 The canteen is often where issues of concern or interest are debated, discussed and raised with the management team.
