Client stories

What changed during password policy rollout and staff guidance — including the awkward bits.

Password Policy Rollout

“Our warehouse leads needed the rule explained in their own words. Panel Alderway sat with them twice before launch week, and the shared-terminal question finally had an answer everyone could live with. The printed desk cards helped more than the long email we first drafted.”
Thandi Mokoena — HR Manager, logistics firm, Johannesburg

Scheduling the manager clinic took an extra week because of our shift patterns.

Password Policy Gap Review

“They marked three clauses in our 2019 policy that nobody followed anymore. The rewrite was shorter, and IT stopped fielding the same password-reset arguments every Friday.”
Johan van der Berg — Operations Director, Orlando-based manufacturer

Staff Password Guidance Sessions

“The 90-minute session used our actual email and billing login screens. Staff asked about sticky notes without feeling scolded, which is rare in these briefings.”
Lerato Dlamini — Office Manager, professional services practice

Manager Briefing Clinics

“Supervisors left with a one-page checklist for exceptions. Ticket volume during the first fortnight stayed manageable because people knew who to ask before inventing a shared password again.”
Priya Naidoo — IT Support Lead, mid-size retailer

Extended note: logistics firm, Johannesburg

A 140-person logistics company needed a password standard before renewing a client contract. Shared desktops on the warehouse floor made “unique passwords for everyone” impossible overnight. Panel Alderway mapped which terminals could move to personal accounts first, drafted an exception clause with a 90-day expiry, and ran two manager clinics timed between shifts.

Launch week included printed desk cards and a quiet hour each morning for questions. Ticket volume rose for nine days, then settled. The mild friction was the clinic scheduling — night-shift supervisors needed a second slot — but the exception language stopped the old habit of one shared sticky note for the whole bay.
