24 February 2010 - 15:57 CET
Istanbul, Turkey, 24 February 2010 - CEVA Logistics, a leading global supply chain management company, today announced it has won the 2009 ‘Best Employer' prize in Turkey for the second time, awarded by American consultant, Hewitt Associates.
The award ceremony took place on 10 February 2010 at the famous Hürriyet Medya Towers, Istanbul. CEVA was awarded joint first place in recognition of its ongoing commitment to attracting superior talent, communicating with and developing its people. CEVA shares the title with Super Lit, followed by other international companies like Intendis, Microsoft, Cisco Systems, Novartis and Frito Lay.
Aslan Uzun, Managing Director, Turkey and the Balkans, CEVA said: "We are extremely proud that we have received the Best Employer award in Turkey for the second time. We firmly believe in making our employees feel valued, engaging in two-way communication, improving the working environment and supporting them in their professional endeavors. Receiving this accolade is the result of our long-standing focus on tailored communication and employee investment strategies."
‘Best Employers' is a study that examines people management practices in leading international and national organizations. It provides insights into how organizations can achieve a real competitive advantage through their people and explores what makes an organization a good place to work.
The Hewitt study is used to identify the best employers in Turkey and analyzes companies against three criteria relating to the motivation of their people, the ability to engage with employees so they feel a valued part of the organization, senior managers' leadership and promotion activities; and providing an attractive personalized career path for every employee.
Since 2006, CEVA in Turkey has focused on delivering a robust training program to successfully develop talent within the business. CEVA's 2007 Investors In People (IIP) award highlighted the quality of its HR program and its implementation. The ‘Best Employer' award is testament to how those principles have been fully integrated into the company. Uzun added: "The over-riding principle of good people management is to involve employees in the management of the company, clear and explicit communication with employees constitutes a significant part of this. We have provided a platform that allows our employees to be involved with all decision-making processes, including the setting of our company objectives in Turkey."
