IN THE BEKAMENT TRAINING CENTER, FROM NOVEMBER 17-18, 2022, TRAINING WAS HELD FOR 40 EMPLOYEES FROM VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, AIMING TO ENABLE THEM TO ACQUIRE INTERNAL AUDITOR CERTIFICATES FOR ISO STANDARDS.

The internal training was conducted in collaboration with the consulting firm CoReMa Professional and involved in-depth familiarization of participants with the process of internal auditing. The goal is to form trained teams in the near future that will allow for an even more efficient system for verifying the proper implementation of ISO standards within the company. The final step of the training involved taking a test, and a positive result enabled the participants to obtain the desired certificate.

The visit was organized for first and second-year students enrolled in the "Applied Sciences" course, where, according to the November curriculum, they are studying topics related to thermal insulation and multiphase systems.

Since these topics are closely related to Bekament's production processes and laboratory work, representatives from the company's Human Resources, Development and Technical Support, and Production Departments warmly welcomed the guests and organized professional presentations to acquaint them with the breadth and quality of Bekament's product range, particularly in the field of thermal insulation.

THE 4TH LEAN AND KAIZEN CONGRESS, TITLED "SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY AND TRANSFORM INTO A LEAN COMPANY," WAS HELD FROM OCTOBER 3 TO 4 AT THE CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL IN BELGRADE.

This year, the congress brought together more than 300 participants in one place, making it the largest Lean and Kaizen event in the region. Besides networking and socializing, attendees had the opportunity to hear from seven different panels, featuring directors from renowned companies operating in Serbia. In Panel 2, titled "LEAN COACHING – HOW TO CREATE A CULTURE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT WITH EMPLOYEES?", HR directors shared their experiences on how to create a culture of continuous improvement with people (not just tools).

Ivan Radukanović, HR Director at Bekament, was one of the panelists, where he had the opportunity to discuss various current topics related to employee care with the other participants—from motivation, methods for improving their knowledge and interpersonal skills, to performance reward systems and achieving greater employee satisfaction within the system they work in. We share with you a segment of Ivan's presentation, where during the panel he stated the following: "We are oriented towards empowering our teams to increase team performance, not individual performance. We want employees to encourage each other, to work as a team and achieve success together, and therefore we aim to create team responsibility, not individual responsibility. We want to involve our employees as much as possible in the system, in our culture, because it is important for them to understand that changes start with them." You can view the entire panel HERE.
