Right provides solutions that span the workforce lifecycle, including talent assessment, leader development, organisational effectiveness, and employee engagement.

"The partnership is an important expansion in our service delivery network to help companies in Sri Lanka win in the changing world of work by designing and executing workforce solutions that align talent strategy with business strategy," said Regional General Manager, Right Management India, Australia and New Zealand, Bridget Beattie.

Right Management is a wholly owned subsidiary of renowned Manpower Inc, which services over 80 percent of Fortune 500 and 70 percent of Global Fortune 500 clients. With offices in 50 countries across the world, Right Management has over 3,500 employees who offer cross border support to its transnational clients.

Michel Nugawela has rebranded some of Sri Lanka's most prestigious blue-chips, including Aitken Spence, Heritance Hotels & Resorts, Lion Brewery, Elephant House, and most recently Goodhope, Carson Cumberbatch & Company's palm oil business in Indonesia.

Nugawela said that while Sri Lankan firms have been quick to recognise business opportunities following the war, few pay attention to their organisational cultures. "There is a clear recognition that the business landscape is going to change in the next decade with increasing competition, from both domestic and multinational firms. Business leaders now need to think of how they will approach this landscape with new mindsets and new teams that improve their bottom-line and deliver brand performance."

"The addition of talent management and employee engagement into our portfolio supports and strengthens our core services in brand identity", Nugawela said.

"By creating high performance organisational cultures firmly aligned to the brand identity, we are now able to partner our clients to improve employee performance, increase productivity and net profits, and reduce turnover within an organisation."
