Janashakthi's top performers tour Thailand

Janashakthi's top performing Life sales force were recently taken on a tour of Thailand, in recognition of their hard work. Fifty-four sales personnel and their families went on the tour, which encompassed Pattaya and Bangkok.

The high flyers visited the popular Tiger Zoo, and a natural coral island and a relaxing dinner cruise on the river. There was time for shopping, games and other team-building activities which helped foster a spirit of camaraderie.

"Most of the staff members on this tour visited Bangkok for the first time. Everybody enjoyed the visit, especially the Tiger Zoo. The boat cruise was also fantastic. Janashakthi Head Office did the utmost to ensure that everything ran smoothly logistically," said Zonal Sales Manager, Life, Western Zone, Rehen Gunawardena.

He said the tour was a great initiative, as even employees working at Janashakthi for less than six months were eligible to participate the tour, through hard work.

The employees selected included a cross section of the sales force, ranging from the agency force to business managers, regional and zonal managers who were selected based on an in-house competition.

"At Janashakthi, we recognise that our people are our best asset. In fact, we invest almost Rs. 50 million a year on our employees, including overseas training," said General Manager, Life, Sales and Operations, Hashra Weerawardena.

"This emphasis on employee development has been recognised, with Janashakthi receiving recognition at the SLITAD People's Development Awards," he added.

Janashakthi consistently rewards its top performers with overseas tours. Top performing employees have received the opportunity to travel to many destinations such as Europe, China, Dubai, Thailand, Bali and the Maldives on previous occasions.
