Aluminium Bahrain (Alba)’s employee empowerment and active involvement initiative in decision making through its Smart Centre was praised by a delegation from the Ministry of Health during a recent visit to Alba.

Mohammed Mahmood, Alba’s chief operation officer, took the delegation on a tour of the Smart Centre, and showed them the processes used in integrating employee suggestions in decision making, the team work methodology at work, and the approaches used in setting goals for each task.

The delegation was impressed with the results achieved at the Smart Centre, and praised Alba for introducing and implementing this system within the organisation.

“It is a privilege to welcome the delegation from the Ministry of Health to Alba, and share with them the success of our Smart Centre,” said Laurent Schmitt, Alba’s chief executive.

“We regard such visits as a vital component of our corporate social responsibility since it provides possibilities for greater interaction and collaboration with governmental bodies such as, the Ministry of Health,” he added.

The Smart Centre at Alba was started in 2004 as an effective way to strengthen motivation amongst employees by giving to all of them the opportunity to participate actively to the continuous improvement of our global competitiveness and safety, health and environmental conditions.

This management tool stimulates creativity and develops a sense of results orientation, ownership and team spirit amongst all teams within Alba. – TradeArabia News Service
