IBPL Quarterly Newsletter - BUZZ

Volume 6, Quarter 3, 2020 Issued on : 15/09/2020 Message from the Managing Director As we advance towards new normal, I am happy to see that this Q3 newsletter showcases our gradual transition to usual activities and achievements. IBPL’s resilient team fought Covid-19 well and I want to believe that odds are behind us now. Business is rebounding and so is our employee engagement across all functions in a ‘connected’ way. In Q3, associates of IBPL had the opportunity to experience several engagement activities. Refreshers on IBPL policy, CoBC and safety took place for all. Some had the opportunity to learn more with LinkedIn Learning. We introduced ‘growth star of the quarter’ recognition program and have even successfully conducted mid-year review for our associates. We renewed our market focus by SPEED execution, rack and cooler execution, pharmacy drive, large PET (1000 ml) drive in the rural and side by side eCommerce utilization. Our recent tactical move to introduce 250ml PET in 6 pack with affordable shrink wrap design targeting home consumption is gaining traction and we are hopeful of good market response. We have launched Life@Coke engagements and I would like to thank you all for a 100% response rate and your feedback in the Global Employee Insight Survey. As part of it, leadership and employee experience learning sessions took place for relevant groups. Life@Coke inspires us to “be well”, “be connected”, “be rewarded”, “be developed”, “be valued” and “be inspired”. As we navigate through this tough time for business and mankind, I would emphasize more on being connected. I would reiterate the saying that we are powerful when we work as part of a winning team – championing communication, connection, and collaboration. We are STRONGER when we are TOGETHER. Let’s BEAT, HIT and MEET. Beat every expectations of the market, hit early and take advantage of being proactive and meet the expectations set upon you. All the best and happy reading ahead.

Emotional intelligence is much more important than IQ for leaders as we advance in our career; and it can help us strengthen team building skill, productivity, morale and more. I also learn that emotional intelligence can build better leaders and believe that this learning would help me grow well in the company with empathy and cross-cultural team spirits.”
