How do we develop our strengths? Through learning. People develop the most when they are able to identify and cultivate their individual strengths and are provided with the right support and encouragement to do so. This philosophy lies at the core of our training and development programs.

We have an institutionalized in-house training function, reflecting our commitment to building a workforce culture where all employees have access to personal and professional growth opportunities. Staff at all levels is encouraged to participate in these development programs. In-house training courses and workshops are regularly organized: some recent topics included Communication Skills, Time Management, Leadership, Language Improvement, Productivity Enhancement and Development Course for Supervisors.

We send approximately 60 to 70 employees abroad annually for training purposes, while over 300 persons are trained locally every year.

Adult education classes are held regularly for the workers' benefit.


Extending the Learning Curve
Packages has entered into partnerships with both local and foreign training institutions.

The Harvard Business School of Harvard University offers some world renowned training programs for senior managers, such as AMP (Advanced Management Program) and ISMP (International Senior Management Program). Participation in these programs is a complete management development experience, and Packages has provided nearly a dozen senior managers the opportunity of sharing their knowledge and expertise with senior business executives at these programs.

Packages has also been sending its technical delegates to various industrial fairs and exhibitions, such as Paper World, DRUPA, IPEX etc. held regularly in different countries.


Local Association
Packages makes full use of training facilities provided by reputed local institutions such as LUMS (Lahore University of Management Sciences), Pakistan Institute of Management (PIM), and Management Association of Pakistan (MAP). Recently, Packages entered into a learning partnership with LUMS and jointly developed a unique in-house training program called Diploma in Business Management (DBM). The program comprises 13 modules on traditional management such as HR, production, finance, and contemporary trends such as customer service, and lasts from 15 to 18 months. This program represents the first partnership of its kind in Pakistan between an educational institution and a business enterprise.

These training opportunities also send an important message to all aspirants in the company - that personal growth is only possible through professional development.
