HR Matters (Pty) Ltd is a specialist KwaZulu-Natal based human resources company whose strategic goal is to continuously build a repertoire of innovative human resources know how, skills and applications for the benefit of its target markets.
Musa Makhunga, the founding managing director of the HR Matters Group, is passionate about making a difference both in the workplace and in society in general. The Group has a focused approach to transforming business from within as it believes that people are important resources and each have something to offer in the workplace. However, the human resources function is often treated as a distant cousin in the workplace. Musa Makhunga is convinced that human resources, in line with international trends should be the first item on any organisation's
business agenda. If we were all regarding people as central to organisation advancement, we would think differently about how homes, schools and society prepare people for the workplace.
Everyone has potential and needs to be given opportunities to grow and thrive for the benefit of self and the organisation. Research indicates that people who are valued, supported appropriately, and rewarded, generally do better at work by more than 50% than those who are not. This understanding is of particular relevance to KwaZulu-Natal and indeed to the whole of South Africa, whose workforce currently faces many challenges which include:
-
Low literacy and numeracy abilities resulting in barriers to employment , successful enterprising, and low productivity
-
Skills shortages in many areas including basic life skills, technical and practical competencies
-
Rapidly changing work environment requiring up to date systems, processes and methodologies
-
Poor implementation of government employment support systems such as the Unemployment Insurance Fund and
Skills Development
§ New trends e.g. the knowledge/green economy and clean energy demands While many organisations are currently acknowledging the
importance of investing in their human resources, they have limited capacity to implement appropriate interventions. HR Matters has identified a gap in the market and is able to come in and assist corporates in the private and public sector as well as small and medium enterprises (SME) to meet their human resource needs. Small and medium enterprises often have limited access to regular professional consultancy resources and require a unique blend of ongoing broad based consultancy support. Often employers need to be encouraged to nurture and develop the skills of their workforces so that they perform at their optimum levels and so that these organisations can survive and grow into the future.
SERVICE OFFERING
HR Matters has developed tried and tested methodologies and is able to provide a number of service offering, these are:

PAYROLL SOLUTION
HR Matters Pay Us web based Payroll Solution is not your normal run of the mill payroll system. It boasts a number of modules which any HR system should have such as: employee and manager self service, leave administration as well as a number of other modules including performance management.
HR Matters payroll covers all SARS legislative requirements and makes available IRP5s at all times at a click of a button and for a modest price per pay-slip. This would drastically cut down on time spent by staff reconciling employee deductions and payments at SARS offices.
Going green has been made real by delivering payslips via cellphones, taking advantage of the proliferation of mobile technology. Not surprisingly, this has become an instant hit with young entrepreneur owned businesses.

THE FUTURE
From humble beginnings, the Group now has a foot print in Johannesburg and Cape Town. HR Matters intends to expand further in the future.
The company has been working on a model whereby a network of owner managed branches will be established in different regions. The
intention is to both expand HR Matters and to create employment opportunities for business people with a solid HR back ground and
who share its vision for the future.
Musa Makhunga says, 'HR Matters strives to create problem free workplace experiences for our clients through ensuring they have
productive people as well as legally compliant employment relationships. He views education, training and personal development as a panacea
for the ills of society, to ignore these basic needs is to the detriment of self, the organisation and the country's overall growth. Evidence
of this is there for all to see!
