CARDET is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Sound Industrial Relations (SIR 2014) standard that serves as a true testament to its unwavering commitment and continuous dedication to creating a positive and inclusive workplace. The Centre received this accreditation following an audit carried out in December 2023 by the Quality Assurance Committee of the Federation of Employers and Industrialists (OEB) and subsequent approval of the honourable Minister of Labour, Mr Yiannis Panagiotou.

The audit featured an in-depth evaluation of CARDET’s performance management, gender equality, employee wellbeing, learning and development and internal communication, as well as Health & Safety and Environmental Management practices. The accreditation process also involved a rigorous assessment by a panel of independent experts who evaluated the organisation’s HR strategy, policies, processes, and results.

Reflecting on this important milestone, CARDET’s Executive Director, Dr. Charalambos Vrasidas, commented: “We are very excited to receive this prestigious standard. This significant achievement showcases the outstanding HR practices and policies based on our commitment to continuous improvement and dedication to creating a positive and inclusive workplace environment that prioritises the wellbeing of our team. By obtaining this accreditation, we further reinforce our position as a leading employer in the industry, strengthening our reputation for implementing best practices and providing a positive experience for our valued team members.”
