We are overwhelmed by the interest of our employees to participate as workers representatives. We look forward to fruitful meetings that will promote closer relationships between management and workers, said Karima Cherifi, QICC's HR and Admin Director.
'We strongly support the setup of this Joint Committee which is a great opportunity to establish a new channel of communication between the management and employees and ultimately to identify together win-win solutions for the benefit of both employees and the company, said Mr. Max-André Delannoy, QICC's CEO.
The first meeting of the QICC Joint Committee is due to take place in September 2019.

Improved communication for the betterment of work conditions is the right step to productivity and engagement.
