SADAFCO implements various initiatives to foster continuous learning and open communication among employees across departments and markets. SADAFCO has adopted LinkedIn learning,  and encourages team members to utilize the platform for their development and incorporates learning hours into employee KPIs. This Ramadan, the company held a companywide learning challenge over the course of the month. Winners were announced at month-end and received meaningful prizes for the hours they spent learning on the platform.

 

During Ramadan Get-together Iftar of this year, the company rewarded all employees completed more than 5 years of service and loyalty to the company. Moreover, Patrick Stillhart, CEO SADAFCO said: “We embody our values every day, in every interaction and every relationship. Our values are at the center of everything we do. Therefore, this year SADAFCO honored several employees who truly go above and beyond with SADAFCO’s Values Award. It was not an easy task, but we were able to nominate several employees who we felt were the true embodiment of our values, Congratulations to all the winners!”.

 

These strategic and effective approached have not only stimulated employee engagement but have also contributed to building a stronger sense of company identity and a culture of continuous learning but added to everyone’s sense of wellbeing.
