DHL, the world's leading express delivery and logistics company, has been recognised for its training and development excellence and commitment to Bahrainisation - winning two national awards.
In a ceremony held under the patronage of Labour Minister Dr Majeed Al Alawi and organised by the Specific Council for Vocational Training, DHL was commended for its training programmes aimed at grass roots, vocational development of Bahraini nationals, particularly youth, as well as for its overall employee development programmes.
"We are proud to be the only company to receive two awards marking the achievements the business has made in training and in Bahrainisation, demonstrating our commitment to the Kingdom," commented DHL Bahrain country manager Mark Benton.
DHL's investment in training during 2007 has increased by 58 per cent compared to 2006, and reflects the company's commitment to providing service excellence through its people, in order to be the first choice for customers. The investment is expected to increase in 2008, as a result of plans to develop Bahraini managers, and the introduction of several new training initiatives and programmes to develop local skill sets.
