recruitment policy

Orphanides Supermarkets places great emphasis on recruitment, since we consider the human factor a major force in the shaping of the growth and success of our company. Strict minimum qualifications are prescribed for each job opening depending on the seniority of such a position. Job applications are thoroughly screened and only the best qualified applications for the respective job opening are invited for the interview. During the interview, which is conducted by a committee of high ranked managers, candidates are judged on their academic record, prior experience (particularly in relation to the respective job opening) as well as their character and personality. Before an employment offer is made to a successful applicant, additional information is obtained from the applicant's references, if it is deemed necessary.

training policy

Another major factor in the success of our company is the proper and continuous training of our employees. In-house introductory and on-the-job training programs are currently being used for every new employee. A clear indication of our company's commitment is our future plans in the establishment and operation of our own fully equipped TRAINING CENTER at our Head Office premises which will form the cornerstone of the company's future training plans. In accordance with the group philosophy, employees
are acknowledged and treated as individuals. Free flowing, two-way communication is actively encouraged between management and the shop floor through informal and formal discussions.
