INTRALOT HR Department also received a Silver Award in the new category “Covid-19 Response Actions: Most Valuable HR Team”, for its immediate response and plan since the beginning of the pandemic. The main goal was the protection of our employees’ health and the prompt implementation of all measures to address the pandemic, ensuring business continuity at a Group level.
“INTRALOT’s human capital is the most valuable asset of the Company. We are proud of our employees and the culture they have established in our Company. For this reason, the Company’s first priority was the protection of our employees even before the spread of Covid-19 reached the levels of a pandemic. INTRALOT Hackathon competitions were introduced approximately nine years ago, gradually evolving to their present form. These competitions are very important as they aim to increase the levels of innovation in the day-to-day conduct of the employees. I would like to congratulate our HR Department for adopting world-class practices and thank all of our employees for their creativity and commitment to INTRALOT,” said Dr. Chris Dimitriadis, INTRALOT Group CEO.
“The Hackathon initiative created a valuable legacy for our Company, providing us with innovative state-of-the-art technology, while enhancing the team spirit and strengthening the bonds of INTRALOT’s global family. Moreover, towards Covid-19 response actions, our primary goal was to establish a direct and continuous communication with our people by implementing a program focused on online training, connection and communication, and their well- being,” said Mr. Eddy Gerekos, HR Director of the INTRALOT Group.
The HR Awards are organized for the 6th consecutive year by the HR Professional magazine and Boussias Communications, aiming to recognize the best initiatives and practices in the Human Resources sector in our country.
