Eclipse-inspired care & respect

Despite experiencing tough times, employees at Scaw’s Eclipse West plant in Benoni, South Africa, remain inspired to do good. The team in Tony Moodley’s department (Production Moulding) live the value of Care & Respect.

Susan Schroeder, HR manager at Eclipse West, shared this story.

“Tony Moodley’s team has been on short time (three days) since the beginning of the year.  As you can imagine, the guys are taking strain financially and one would expect morale to be really low. On the contrary, Tony has managed to keep his guys positive and motivated, and the photograph shows this (wide smiles all round!).

“This photograph was taken on the day that one of Tony’s employees (Mr Nkosi) retired. Despite being financially-strapped, each employee contributed R100 to buy him a farewell gift. It shows that even in trying times spirits can be kept high, and the will to give and care maintained.

“Sadly, a week after the photograph was taken, Mr Nkosi passed away. Ten of the employees pictured travelled to the funeral in KwaZulu-Natal at their own expense to represent their department and show respect for Mr Nkosi and his family.”
