Over 40 Sadaharitha Plantations’ staff were recently accredited with professional marketing qualifications of the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) at the BMICH recently.
Executive Director and CEO of Sadaharitha Group of Companies Dr. Pradeep Edward was also recognised as a Fellow Life Member of SLIM at the event. Chairman of Sadaharitha Group Sathis Nawarathna said, “Sadaharitha has been able to establish a career ladder which permits employees to move up the corporate structure rapidly. The structure provides our staff with the opportunity to grow from Junior Executive positions to Senior Management levels. I am extremely elated that the company has assisted the staff in obtaining professional qualifications and thereby help them achieve their professional goals.” As of today, the company has over 100 employees who have been facilitated through this program. The Training and Development department of the company identifies such programs as necessary professional skills for the team to develop their career and themselves.
Dr. Pradeep Edward said, “As a company, we have been committed to providing necessary training and development for our teams to progress in their careers and their life. Our memorandum of understanding with SLIM, in particular, has enabled us to offer our staff the most recognised and esteemed Sales and Marketing qualifications from SLIM over the past few years. I am proud to say that the entire cost for the professional courses undertaken by our employees is borne by the company.”
