The 6th Star of FINAT: it’s all about PEOPLE |
|
We’re in the autumn of another full year of FINAT activity. With the peak of activities behind us, this end of the year is normally the period to evaluate programmes, take stock of achievements and unmet needs, and complete the planning for the next year. Last week, the FINAT Board, committees, subcommittees and special taskforces met back-to-back during a 4-day retreat in Munich. Apart from the strategic and operational activities that came out of the many work sessions, the most remarkable overall element is the involvement and commitment of volunteers. Altogether, FINAT’s volunteer workforce brings together almost 85 professionals from almost 60 member companies and nearly 20 different countries. It proves how international FINAT is, how widely commitment is spread across different companies of all sizes and how many individual professionals are ready to support the industry with their time and talent. At the end of the week, FINAT had ticked off no less than 13 meetings, in different settings, on which occasion a wide range of topics relevant to the FINAT programmes was covered, such as: · our events and webinars for 2018; · our marketing and communications; · our Radar market research programme; · our programmes on sustainability, compliance and recycling; · our monitoring and advocacy on regulatory affairs; · our expanding library of test methods; · our membership development; · and, finally, the necessity to develop a joint strategy on ‘employer branding’ of our industry across Europe.
