A survey conducted
at the end of 2002 helped determine the areas of training needed.
Following this, a number of courses were organised by the Training
and Development Section and held continually throughout the
year.
The Training and
Development Section also played host to many school and university
students, who came on visits to the Post.
With people as its
prime concern, The Post Publishing Plc. continuously organised
staff activities throughout the year, including an annual company-wide
health check-up.
As in previous years,
a special tum bun tak bart merit-making ceremony was also held
to mark
the Bangkok Post’s birthday on 1 August. Management and staff
relaxed and enjoyed the annual Family Day trip, which was to
Si Racha Tiger Zoo in Amphoe Sattahip.
Also held in 2003
was a farewell party for retiring employees and a long-service
award party at The Dusit Thani Bangkok for those who have dedicated
25 years to the Bangkok Post. The end of the year was marked
by an all-fun party, filled with dazzling performances, and
plenty of food and laughter.
