This year’s awards saw the participation of a large number of local private and public sector organisations out of which 23 were selected to the final round of evaluation. They were selected based on a criterion presented by the institute, which focused on ten key aspects. This framework was used to assess the organisations on aspects including business and people management strategy, effectiveness of management, learning and development strategy, performance measurement and commitment to continuous improvement as well as the organisation’s effort and innovativeness in training and development practices. An audit committee comprised of academics from the University of Colombo and an eminent panel of judges selected the recipients of gold, silver and bronze awards. In addition to being placed among the Top 15 great places to work in Sri Lanka for 2013 and 2014, which is a prestigious recognition offered by the Great Place to Work Institute, being recognised with SLITAD People Development award affirms DIMO’s commitment to add value to the lives of all their tribe members and their status as an employer of choice to a diverse group of staff.
