How would you describe your organizational culture in the shortest way?
-Global Ispat Koksna Industrija d.o.o. Lukavac is an
economic giant and one of the largest exporters in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It
is best illustrated by the fact that in the total gross domestic product
contributes to approximately one percent, and approximately 2.5 percent of annual export earnings of the country. As a company with a rich manufacturing tradition and
experience in labor and employment daily makes great efforts in relations to the
workers, currently about 1000, as well as towards domestic and foreign clients
and associates. Organizational practice in our company is reflected in the
culture of a positive attitude towards the employee, providing all forms of
support to our employees, encouraging them to make progress, but also to give
their maximum, which is very appreciated here. Positive relations between
worker&company are serving us for our mutual satisfaction and well-being. To
make it clear how we are trying to achieve such a goal in GIKIL, I will set
aside a few areas in which we are esspecially focused:
a) Creativity at work - employees are regularly
encouraged to express their creative abilities and get more involved in current
events through existing Suggestion schemes and Rewarding schemes
b) Employee motivation - promoting high performance and
career development through improved high performance, faster correction of
negativity, and increment of benefits and humanity measures
c) Improving the performance of employees through continuous education and training, skills and knowledge assessment, through the organization of the company and in cooperation with the others.
What is the most important in your company that the employees posses?
What skill or trait?
-The most
important thing is that the employee has the desire to work and learn. We are
the Company which provides an excellent opportunity to employees to acquire new
knowledge and skills through the work, and where is appreciated adopted
knowledge. One example are the programs of performing volunteer / internship
service, that our Company provides to graduate students, as well as a program
of employment of these workers after a period of such service.
On the other hand, it is important to us that our employees are proactive and also responsible for the successful execution of tasks and duties that are required from them.
Share some advice to unemployed people who see you as the Most Wanted
Employer and want to work in your company one day.
-The best
advice that we can give is to be persistent, to seek to gain experience in the
work, either by volunteering or employment, to be active in the social life of
their community, to constantly educate and acquire new knowledge in their
field. These are some of the features that Global Ispat Koksna Industrija appreciates
when selecting candidates.
Improve yourself, sharpen your knowledge and skills, because they are the
foundation on which you need to build your career and future.
Which benefits do you offer to employees in your Company?
-Surely we
can say that we are one of the few companies who educate their employees in the
workplace. Within our premises we have fully equipped training center where experienced
internal trainers convey technical and other practical knowledge to other
employees. Also we educate our internal trainers and increase their number to have
knowledge passed on further.
There are organized continuous improvements by
providing education and training of a wide range, from foreign language
courses, computer courses, multi-skillings, attending seminars, up to the trainings
of Japanese methodology of Totally Productive Maintenance (TPM), as well as the
world-renowned Six-sigma education, by which we achieve preconditions for rapid
career advancement.
In addition to these benefits, which make us proud, employees in GIKIL are offered all benefits at work in accordance with legal procedures and internal regulations. The Company organizes the transport of our employees, regularly pays the fees, prepares meals for employees, complies with all other legally regulated provisions regarding the right to use annual leave, paid and unpaid leave, sick leave, maternity absences. Such rights are not called into question.
What question candidates can certainly expect during an interview for a
job in your company?
-Since under
the roof of our Company there are five factories and we posses a wide range of
modes and operations, we believe that it is a matter of basic culture when
reporting on workplace to collect information about the Company and working
position that is being considered. Also we try through our questions to find
out as much as possible about the candidate, how active he is in job searching,
how much contributes to the community in which he lives. Knowledge of a foreign
language, as well as their own dedication and efforts for acquisition of skills,
it is what we very appreciate.
How long does the recruitment process take in your company?
-The process
takes from 7-14 days depending on the complexity of work and the workplace to
which the candidate applies. Candidates who meet the required conditions by the
contest go through three stages, the practical work (tests from respectible
area, computer skills, language knowledge test), the interview with the
personnel committee, and finally the interview with the Management of the Company.
Do you receive applications from jobseekers without contest procedures?
-At any time jobseekers can send their applications to our address or bring
them in person to the premises of our company. All received applications are
duly recorded in the applications base and used during contest procedures, as
well as when searching for new employees.
