JEDDAH: Waleed Y. Zahid, president of Zahid Tractor, has thanked Prince Faisal bin Salman, chairman of Saudi Research and Marketing Group (SRMG), for his patronage of the gala ceremony honoring "Saudi Arabia's Best Company to Work For," an initiative launched by Al-Eqtisadiah business daily.
Winning the prestigious award "is a great mark of recognition for Zahid's employees and a wonderful testimony that the company provided them with a happy, healthy and safe environment that promotes greater productivity," said Zahid after his company won the First Place Award of the Al-Eqtisadiah initiative. The company won the award in the overall list as well as in the large companies category.
Prince Faisal handed over the awards at a gala ceremony in Riyadh recently. Zahid Tractor's award was received by Amr M. Khashoggi, vice president corporate affairs of Zahid Group.
After receiving the coveted prize, Khashoggi said, "Zahid Group strives to achieve harmony between serving our customers with excellence, caring for our employees with compassion and preserving our shared values and ethics with dedication. Supporting the various departments of the group with state-of-the-art technology and systems increased quality levels and application of ISO standards in our work processes. Our dedicated Quality Control Department strictly monitors any possible deficiencies for any work related issues and addresses them with high efficiency."
Khashoggi maintained that the award crowns the success and distinction achieved by Zahid Tractor year after year thanks to the group's clear mission and vision.
The gala event also featured the participation of two Zahid Tractor employees, Abdulmoniem S. Al-Ghamdi, fluids analysis laboratory manager, and Omar A. Gari, training center manager. The young Saudi executives shared with the audience their experiences at Zahid Tractor since their early days as trainees.
