good luck, kat. hope things goes well -----Original Message----- From: Kat To: [log in to unmask] Sent: 3/12/2003 9:39 AM Subject: Work Reorganisation News about my job. As many of you know, I'm a HRIS (Human Resources Inform= ation Systems) Analyst for Sara Lee Hosiery, which means I'm a database pro= grammer. I will have been working for Hosiery for 15 years this coming Aug= ust and it's been a wild ride, sticking through thick and thin, through reo= rganisations and layoffs (or redundancies in the UK). A major reorg has been in the works for several months but I hadn't been ab= le to talk about it until the official announcement was made yesterday. Th= e entire SL Intimates Group in Winston-Salem is reorganising, merging many = functions across 7 divisions, and HR is no exception. All the SL Intimate = HR departments are being split into two groups: Human Resources which will = concentrate on hiring, recruiting, employee relations and other issues, and= Compensation and Benefits, which will concentrate on benefits administrati= on, compensation, and data collection and analysis. I'm included in the Co= mpensation and Benefits organisation and we will be fully reorganised by Ju= ne 30 (the end of the fiscal year). What this means for me personally, is = that my job will be greatly expanded and I'll be doing reporting not just f= or Hosiery but also for the other divisions we'll be merging with, a total = of seven divisions. At the end of the corporate reorganisation, we may be = responsible for the entire Branded Apparel group (which includes Intimates,= Socks and Knitwear, or 10 divisions) in Winston-Salem. Whew... Exciting o= pportunities here! And I'm glad I'll be here to take advantage of them.=20 No change in title or pay yet but I'm sure there will be as I keep up with = everything and do well. :-) And we're moving to the SL Corp headquarters b= uilding up the road, the one we call 'The Taj Mahal!'
