Unilever Sri Lanka’s HR team was recognised as being among the best in HR across South Asia and the Middle East by the Society for Human Resource Management in India.

The team received special recognition at the recently held SHRM HR Awards 2014 held in Gurgaon, India, in the category ‘Excellence in Human Resources – South Asia & Middle East (excluding India)’. Recognition in this category is given to organisations that design and implement exceptional people management practices and systems that look to develop their employees as key resources to achieve their overall business ambitions. Such practices and systems are evaluated based on their unique nature and integration of these practices into the overall human resource strategy of the organization. “This unprecedented recognition at an external international forum is a testament to the commitment, effort and energy of each and every member of our team at Unilever Sri Lanka. At Unilever, we consider our employees the most crucial asset in our growth journey, and we are constantly striving to provide them with the best experience to reach their full potential in their professional and personal development. It is indeed humbling to receive this kind of recognition for our efforts in making Unilever Sri Lanka a great place to work at,” Human Resources and Corporate Relations Director Udayan Dutt said. Founded in 1948, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is the world’s largest HR membership organisation devoted to human resource management, with more than 575 affiliated chapters within the United States and subsidiary offices in China, India and United Arab Emirates. The SHRM India HR Awards have been instituted as an exemplary platform to recognise organisations that put people first, deliver future focused excellence in the field of People Management, and understand the importance of human capital as a key contributor to business outcomes and look to celebrate and acknowledge organisations that work passionately towards raising the bar for the profession through constant innovation.
