At Cherat Cement Company Limited we attribute our continued success to our people. Our employees are our enduring advantage and it is our ability to create high performance teams in a culture of inclusiveness, professionalism and excellence that drives our growth. To maintain our HR competitiveness, we remain focused on areas of talent management, learning & development; succession planning, and the development of a robust Management Trainee Program.

Attracting the Best Talent
To support the Company’s objective of acquiring the best talent, we have recalibrated our Trainee Engineer Program as “Future Leaders Program” to make it dynamic in its offerings to students allowing them to challenge their potential. By providing graduating students with an exhilarating route to enter our Graduate Trainee Engineering programs, we undertook several campus recruitment drives at leading Engineering educational institutions with an aim to find the best talent that would build the Company-wide pipeline of emerging leaders and also to be part of our enterprising organizational culture.

 Industrial Relations
We maintain excellent relations with our employees and labour. There is a formal labour union in place which represents all classes of workers and independently takes care of all labour related issues. The Company takes every reasonable step for swift and amicable resolution of all their issues.

Core Values

Values are what support the vision, shape the culture and reflect what an organization values. They are the essence of the organization’s identity the principles, beliefs or philosophy of values. Our Core Values (Respect, Fairness, Quality, Ownership) are embedded in our recruitment process, performance appraisals and recognition initiatives.

Preparation of Succession Plan

At Cherat Cement Company Limited (CCCL), preparing a robust Succession Plan is integral to ensuring sustained leadership and business continuity. We view succession planning not as a reactive measure but as a forward-thinking strategy that identifies and develops individuals who can fill key positions in the future. This process starts by recognizing critical roles across the company that are pivotal to our business operations and long-term growth.

We conduct a comprehensive Talent Assessment to evaluate potential successors within the organization. This assessment takes into account not only the employee’s current performance but also their competencies, leadership potential, and alignment with CCCL’s core values. A Gap Analysis is then performed to understand the areas where development is needed, enabling us to customize learning and development programs that focus on bridging these gaps.

At CCCL, our succession planning is not limited to top leadership roles. We believe in building a talent pipeline for all critical talent of the organization. By investing in continuous learning, leadership development, and on-the-job coaching, we ensure that high-potential employees are ready for future leadership roles. This ongoing process enables us to nurture a workforce that is capable, agile, and ready to take on future challenges.

At CCCL, we are committed to a Merit-Based Recruitment process that ensures fairness, transparency, and the hiring of the most qualified candidates. Our approach is driven by a strict adherence to equal opportunity principles, ensuring that every candidate is evaluated solely on their skills, knowledge, experience, and alignment with our organizational values.

To streamline and enhance the recruitment process, CPL leverages advanced technological tools like SAP SuccessFactors Recruitment Management (RCM). Through Recruitment Management, we efficiently manage job requisitions, job postings, candidate applications, and the selection process, ensuring a smooth and transparent hiring journey. The system allows us to track candidates progress, conduct interviews, and make data-driven decisions on selecting the best talent. SF RCM is also integrated with our onboarding processes, making transitions in to the company seamless for both employees and HR.

Performance-Based Appraisal

At Cherat Cement Company Limited, our PerformanceBased Appraisal system is a key driver of employee engagement, development, motivation and organizational success. We believe that performance should be the foundation for both individual and organizational growth, which is why we place such a strong emphasis on recognizing and rewarding employees based on their achievements and contributions.

CCCL utilizes SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management and Goals Management (PMGM) to standardize and automate our performance management processes. SF PMGM allows us to set clear and measurable goals for employees at the beginning of each performance cycle, aligning their objectives with the broader business goals of the organization. Throughout the year, managers can track progress, provide candid and regular feedback hence fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

At the end of the performance cycle, employees are appraised based on their achievements against their set goals, and their competencies in relation to CCCL’s core values. SF PMGM provides comprehensive insights, ensuring that our appraisals are fair, transparent, and cover both qualitative and quantitative data. Highperforming employees are recognized and rewarded, while development plans are created for those needing additional support, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to grow and excel.

Our performance-based appraisal system not only helps us recognize and reward top talent but also motivates employees to reach their full potential, driving CPL’s continued success.

By providing challenging projects, leadership opportunities, and continuous feedback, we ensure that every employee at CCCL feels empowered and motivated to contribute towards the company’s success.

Our approach to employee engagement involves regular communication, feedback mechanisms, and involvement in decision-making processes. CCCL regularly conducts pulse surveys to gather feedback on various aspects of the workplace, from job satisfaction to leadership effectiveness. This feedback is carefully analyzed and used to make improvements in policies, practices, and the work environment.

In addition to surveys, we encourage open channels of communication between employees and management. Whether through one-on-one meetings, town halls, or suggestion boxes, we value employee input and believe in taking action on their feedback. This two-way communication fosters a culture of trust, transparency, and collaboration.

By prioritizing employee engagement and feedback, CCCL ensures that we maintain a motivated and committed workforce which is driving the company’s overall success and growth.
