uman Resource is at the heart of the company’s functions, and at its core, it involves galvanizing skills that can realize the plans that will drive the
business on a sustained path of success.
The significance of our human capital is probably best captured in an outline by the parent company, Gruppo Campari.
“Camparistas are the first ambassadors of our Group around the world and one of the most important assets in assuring the success of our business.”
It continues, “Nurturing each unique talent is crucial to embrace the challenges and opportunities presented by the market.”
In this light, Human Resources Director, Odeth Reynolds, outlines the critical level of support provided by her team.
“We have to ensure that the organization is appro- priately staffed to carry out the day-to-day functions and ensure sustainability of our brands,” she said.
Resourcing top talent for key positions is good, but as the business involves a variety of widely contrasting tasks, support roles constitute a
vital element and to attract the best talent, HR plays a big role in crafting offerings.
Noting the main contribution from HR’s input, Reynolds listed the retention of key talent via our total rewards programmes consisting of compen- sation benefits, learning and development, career opportunities and a working environment where organizational trust (credibility, fairness, respect, pride, camaraderie), are all part of the employee experience.
“The implementation and communication of policies and procedures are also critical in maintaining good labour relations and ensuring the company’s vision and mission are cascaded throughout the organiza- tion. This ensures a shared vision and a commonality of purpose, a pre-requisite to achieving,” Reynolds shared.
“Employer and employee branding is crucial as it is our aim to be known as a great place to work, to attract and retain the right talent and increase employee engagement, whilst aligning our behaviours with Campari’s values; Integrity, Passion, Pragmatism and Together.”
