Team JWT prepares for the next wave of creativity
JWT Sri Lanka will be starting their employee-training calendar for
2012 on a high note by organising an overseas training program for the
entire office from February 3rd to 7th, 2012. Each and every staff
member irrespective of their management level will attend this 5-day
workshop at the Golden Triangle in India. During this tour, the team
will travel to the cities of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
"Just like the country itself, JWT Sri Lanka today stands at a huge
cross-section of opportunities - across clients, product categories and
communication disciplines. With a legacy of many firsts behind us,
interactions such as these are powerful mechanisms to unleash fresh
streams of innovations and breakthroughs. We are looking forward to this
session, which would not just rejuvenate our teams but also help us to
intensively collaborate and co-create the future pathways for our
clients and brands."
He further added - "This initiative comes as part of our longstanding
history of making consistent efforts to invest in our people. The annual
training investment per employee made by JWT Sri Lanka is arguably the
best in the industry. A recent case in point has been our global 'High
Potentials Group' program that handpicks exceptional talent from across
the world and invests consistently in improving their skills and
competencies for future roles in the agency. I am happy to mention that
Ralston Joseph, one of our homegrown talents, was the pick for this year
and he's just returned from Kualalumpur, Malaysia after attending a
weeklong training program conducted by the world-famous transformation
coach - Franklin Covey. And this is just one of the things, Ralston
would be invested with during the year."
Remarkably, employee's families play an integral role in our work
lives and indirectly contribute immensely to an organisations' success.
Yet very few companies take note of this fact. Working late evenings and
weekends occurs on a regular basis in the advertising industry with
tight deadlines. Hence, JWT recognized the importance of opening the
off-site retreat to employee's families as well. Whilst the workshop
will be limited to a couple of days, employees and their families are
free to explore India during the rest of the days at leisure. |
