Global free zone operator Economic Zones World has won the top award at the GCC HR Excellence Awards 2011 held recently as part of the 6th Human Assets Expansion Middle East Summit.
“EZW has always maintained that its people are valuable assets and important to the company’s success and long-term business sustainability. Besides offering equitable and competitive compensation, EZW is committed to fostering overall development of its employees. This award is an incentive to step up our efforts and perform even better,” said Adel Bin Turkeya, SVP Human Resources, Economic Zones World.
The free zone operator’s ongoing initiatives include orientation programmes, customised in-house training courses, corporate development programme, which is accredited by KHDA and University of Dubai, the Mishwar Program, specially designed for freshly recruited UAE Nationals, and the job rotation program implemented this year for employees to widen their knowledge in various functions within their department, among many others.
The company has also initiated various programmes not directly related to employees jobs like ‘Money Matters!’ launched to instruct employees on money management and financial planning; cultural awareness sessions for expatriate employees and basic safety induction awareness sessions.
