CIBJO Prepares Guide For the Jewellery Industry to Foster People Skills | The Jewelry Magazine

CIBJO Prepares Guide For the Jewellery Industry
CIBJO has announced the release of an employee recruitment, motivation and retention guide, "People: Our Greatest Asset".  Authored by Jonathan Kendall, President of the CIBJO Marketing & Education Commission, the guide prepared for the jewellery industry is now available for downloading on the CIBJO website.

The  60-page book “provides a practical approach to the employment and induction of professional staff, reward, and recognition systems for motivating and retaining valued employees, and problem-solving”, CIBJO outlined. The guide was first unveiled at the 2017 CIBJO Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, in November.

The guide includes insights from industry figures from around the world and is divided into six chapters, dealing with motivation; recruitment; leadership and teamwork; training and development; reward and recognition; and troubleshooting. “Each chapter includes practical toolkits, some of which can be printed and used in the workplace, among them employee self-assessment and manager-assessment forms, templates for recruitment ads and job offers, interview questionnaires, interviewee assessment forms, job application forms, staff induction checklists, employee training and development records, and much more,” CIBJO said.

 "People are any business' greatest asset," said  Kendall. "This guide has been developed to help all types of companies in the jewellery trade to recruit, develop, motivate and reward their people. As an industry, we need to make sure our employees are motivated and engaged. Today the levels of competition are greater than ever, and when our consumers enter our jewellery environments, it's vitally important they are met by happy, positive and supportive staff."

CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri commented: “’People: Our Greatest Asset' is a valuable addition to the series of business guides CIBJO has produced for the jewellery industry, and it is the first that focuses specifically on employee relations. This is a subject of critical importance because ultimately any business is only as good as the people who work for it. In producing this guide, Jonathan Kendall has broken the topic down into its most basic components and then provided real-world tools for company owners and managers to use. We are proud to be able to make it available to the industry."

One of the most beautiful collections we saw at the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) 2018, held in Mumbai earlier this week, was by Anil Bharwani , a partner of Seth Sunderas & Sons . Among the most prolific designers we’ve come across of late and beloved by Indian customers, Bharwani churns out an average of 400 to 800 handcrafted pieces per collection. Influenced by anything from art nouveau to art deco, Bharwani works with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, tanzanite, pearls, coral (a stone that’s moving quite well in India), blue topaz, citrine, and amethysts in his jewelry creations. Some standouts at the show included a double-finger butterfly ring that spans the entire hand and, yes, the wings of the butterfly move; a ruby lotus flower cocktail ring whose petals open and close with a turn of the shank; and earrings made of precious stones that are affixed with small batteries that literally light up when worn. “Well, it’s all that I know how to do,” says Bharwani, mod...
