15 Dec, 2005 - The country's leading biscuits manufacturer, EBM, has been granted the highly recognized Investors in People Award, adding to its previous prestigious certifications. Investor in People (IIP) UK is an organization that has developed this international human resource best practice standard that currently operates in 26 countries around the world. The standard is expressed in 12 indicators of good practice that are based on research as to how leading organizations manage and develop their people.
"Everyone agrees that people are an organization's greatest asset, and we all know that for an organization to succeed everyone has to perform well," stated Khawar Butt, the Managing Director of EBM. "To achieve this, people need the right knowledge, skills and motivation to work efficiently. The Investors in People Standard provides the framework to ensure that this is achieved," he added.
An Investor in People develops effective strategies to improve the performance of the organization through its people. Learning and development is planned to achieve the organization's objectives and the strategies for managing people are designed to promote quality of opportunity in the development of the organization's people. The Standard ensures that people's contribution to the organization is recognized and valued. Further, it encourages people to take ownership and responsibility by being involved in decision-making.
"The project team at EBM worked very hard to meet IIP requirement like Business plan, Training Need Analysis (TNA), Employee Development & Evaluation Manual and so on and we are proud to be the recipients of the IIP Award," said Saadia Naveed, Director Operations of EBM.
EBM is amongst a handful of Pakistani companies and the only one in its industry to have achieved this award. EBM also holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and HACCP certifications.
