GAB’s TPM programme is based on the global
Heineken TPM programme and guided by their
consultants, and we are proud that GAB continues to
be ranked among the best breweries within its brand
owners’ global network.
Going forward, HR will continue to assume an integral
role to champion the TPM Training and Development
Pillar, supporting GAB’s evolution into a Learning
Organisation.
Promoting Openness
We believe it is important to have continuous dialogue
and engagement with our employees, and among the
many initiatives in place include internal publications
such as The ICON, and a bi-monthly internal newsletter
called HR4U. HR4U was introduced in February 2010
to keep staff abreast of past and future HR activities
and services, as well as policies and procedures.
We have also recently started publishing a monthly
update from the Supply Chain Director to provide a
medium for the Director to update his department on
latest developments and, a monthly Sales Bulletin to
help the Sales Director stay in touch with his team,
especially with employees based in the regions.
In addition to the internal publications, our Managing
Director continues to share his thoughts and
perspectives on GAB via his monthly updates and
monthly breakfast meetings. At these breakfast
meetings, the MD meets with a cross-section of
employees from different departments in a no-holds-
barred breakfast meeting every month. Parties get to
know each other and questions are raised personally
with the MD. We will continue these monthly meetings
and over time, every GAB employee will have an
opportunity to sit in on these breakfast meetings.
Open dialogue sessions are also conducted with the
Management Team, whereby as many questions are
fielded on the spot at our quarterly Townhall meetings
as well as at our annual National Commercial
Conference and Supply Chain Conference. These
dialogue sessions and conferences provide a platform
for the heads of department to share their plans for
the coming months. This is in line with the GAB’s
commitment to transparency and open two-way
communication.
