2019, Chennai & Singapore: SPIC, one of India’s pioneers and leading agri-nutrient and
fertilizers company and part of AM International Holdings Limited, Singapore
announced the rollout of a strategic HR program for improved organizational
learning and performance. The program has been rolled out at a pan India level
across all its offices and manufacturing plants in Chennai and Tuticorin. The
program is in addition to the current employee training programs and is based
on the new global concept of ‘continuous learning.'
Commenting on this new initiative Mr. Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman SPIC &Founder Chairman, AM
International Group, Singapore, said, "Talent and people leadership
are critical competitive advantages of AM International group and this program
is in line with our thinking. I congratulate the leadership team at SPIC for
rolling out such a futuristic program whereby employees are future ready both in
professional skills and cultural aspects. A vital element of the program is the
focus on ‘continuous learning' which ensures that up skilling and re-skilling
happens in the organization regularly.
I believe that for organizations to win in the next decade, talent
and technology will be the key differentiators. Moreover, with such measures, we
are working towards creating an agile, nimble and meritocracy driven
work-culture and a healthy pipeline of future leaders.”
Continuous
learning is a new leadership and management
concept whereby knowledge is not limited to training sessions or classrooms. It
is embedded in the professionals' everyday life to ensure better acceptability
and retention. SPIC's new initiative was launched based on a one on one pulse
employee survey conducted across its offices and manufacturing plants by a
reputed external HR coach. Organizations are imbibing this approach to ensure
that employees are up skilled with new and disruptive business practices on an
almost real-time basis.
The key focus areas are Training & Development, Technical and
Non-technical sessions for Knowledge and skill up liftment, Health & Safety
training and demonstration. An exciting
aspect of this initiative has been the inclusion of a training program for the
spouses of employees; it reiterates AM International group's focus on creating
work-life balance ensuring that homemakers and family members regularly upgrade
themselves in terms of well-being, health and lifestyle best practices.
A total of 1100employees
of SPIC will participate in this program. It is being monitored by the HR team
in collaboration with the HR coach. This will be in addition to the in-house
regular training programs (4-day career development, six-day Supervisory
Development & 13-day management development) and other
training and development programs.
