Our Five Phased Strategy Includes:
Ritver senior management team realizes that organizations do not organically develop into learning organizations; there are factors prompting their change. In fact, Ritver’s aggressive expansion plan has made it lose its capacity to learn and spread knowledge.
Therefore Ritver has implemented a double loop learning program that successfully maintain knowledge about new products and processes and help employees in different geographical areas understand what is happening in the outside environment and produce creative solutions using the knowledge and skills of all within the organization.
This requires co-operation between individuals and groups, free and reliable communication, and a culture of trust.
Ritver Training Department (RTD) in cooperation with the Marketing function has founded a complete internal training and marketing strategy that uses Visual tutorials, Online Academy and Social Media interfaces to keep all employees highly involved and constantly evolving.
RTD offers trainings on a wide array of topics such as: product knowledge, commercial sessions, technical skills, coating systems, business ethics, industrial safety and environmental issues. Ritver believes in substantial innovation and that human resources are its main drive.
