Dear fellow Bloomfield workers,
I want to express my gratitude and joy at being selected to join your corporation. My special gratitude goes to CEO, Bernard Johnson who chose me for this position. As many of you may already know, I am well known for my preference toward technological and market solutions to the logistical challenges that we face today. This is a large part of the reason why I was chosen by Mr Johnson.
What this means for us in the logistics department is that we will be relying increasingly on outside partners, either in New Zealand, or globally, to do many of the functions that we do now, and also I hope that many of the processes that drive our logistical network can be made more efficient by technological improvement.
The business media has labeled me “Chainsaw Hughes” for some of the efficiencies I have created in my previous positions, which inevitably called for a measure of business rightsizing (裁员增效).
However, I am not the “job killer” that I have been described as. I have never reduced staff unless it could show clear benefits to the corporation. I am a “value creator” and I think that all of you will come to understand that. I look forward to working with all of you.
Robert J. Hughes
