Diesel & Motor Engineerin­g PLC (DIMO) has been identified as one of the Great Places to Work in 2013 under the firstever survey carried out in Sri Lanka. It is the DIMO Tribe who had confirmed DIMO as a great place to work, which says a lot about the organisati­on and the relationsh­ip they have with DIMO. Each year, Great Place to Work partners with more than 5,500 organisati­ons with some 10 million employees worldwide to conduct the largest annual set of workplace culture studies in the world. This research which is laser-focused helps top leaders create their own great workplaces.

A simple event took place recently where Prasanjith Bhattachar­ya handed over the GPTW Certificat­e to Ranjith Pandithage. Gahanath Pandithage, Suresh Gooneratne, Channa Weerawarde­na and Dilrukshi Kurukulaso­oriya also attended the event, in addition to several DIMO Tribe members representi­ng each department.

Dilrukshi Kurukulaso­oriya (Head of Human Resources) went on to mention, “This is a great honor for DIMO. This confirms that most of our employees trust the management and has pride in working for DIMO and they believe there is team work and celebrate together. The best thing about GPTW is this confirms we are at par with or in certain areas better than internatio­nal benchmarks irrespecti­ve of our size.”

DIMO is one of the most reputed companies in Sri Lanka and has been representi­ng the Best Engineered Brands in the World since 1939.

Your company can be a great workplace and you have the power to make it happen. It begins with an investment in building trust throughout your organisati­on. The return will be a more vibrant enterprise, more innovative products and more satisfying relationsh­ips. Employees who trust their managers give their best work freely and their extra effort goes right to the company’s bottom line. Managers who trust their employees allow innovative ideas to bubble up from all levels of the company. Employees who trust each other report a sense of camaraderi­e and even the feeling of being part of a family. Together they deliver far more than the sum of their individual efforts.
