In line with Reynaers Aluminium’s internal ongoing campaign launched in February to renew its core values, the regional office of the Belgium-based aluminium solutions provider Reynaers Middle East held a series of events at its Bahrain headquarters and warehouse.
This was followed by a large regional event at the Dubai office when team members from Jordan, Egypt, Qatar and Iraq travelled to the emirate for group activities.
“So far, our journey has been very intense and the challenges of the past few years have not made things any easier. Yet, we have shown resilience and we are growing every year,” said Dirk Bontridder, CEO of the Reynaers Group.
He continued: “‘How do we do it?’ you might ask. Well, you do not have to be a part of this family for long to understand the uniqueness of our company. The reason we all work so well together and continue to do so, even in challenging times is because of the values we share.”
The four core values are titled Daring, Caring, Passionate and United.
“These values are deep rooted within the Reynaers Group and the campaign was launched across various countries and markets to reinforce the sentiment behind each of these values and how each employee needs to embrace them in his or her daily life,” explained Ali Khalaf, Managing Director of Reynaers Middle East.
Elaborating on these values, he said: “At Reynaers, we challenge the status quo – we are ‘daring’; we are ‘passionate’, where we give the best of ourselves; we are ‘caring’ – we take care of our colleagues, partners, suppliers, society and the world we live in; and stay ‘united’, feeling, acting and behaving as part of a family.”
He stated that the company has been reinforcing these core values within its staff and said that only when these values are fully embraced internally can the company extend them to its stakeholders, including its customers, partners, and suppliers.
The series of events and activities held in the region focused on the common values expected of each Reynaers employee and were shared across a wide spectrum of nationalities and cultures.
While these values were instilled through fun-filled activities and team-building concepts, the campaign served to convey the important and thought-provoking precepts behind Reynaers’ core values, added Khalaf.
