For HR managers in packaging and related companies and executive level personnel, IppStar is organising a human resources careers event on the show floor in Hall 11 Stand 49 at the Pack Plus 2009 exhibition at Pragati Maidan from 8 to 11 July 2009. IppStar’s idea is to give the packaging industry a joint human resource platform to project itself as a large and fast growing high technology area with enormous opportunities for the best young people.

With an open economy and both large Indian companies and multinationals bringing products to new formats in the Indian market, the competition is intense to find the right people for both creating and producing new types of packaging. Brand managers who understand packaging and who have the right management education and skills are also needed. Similarly, on the converting and manufacturing side, talented personnel are needed to take forward the new paradigms of management in which packaging is an integral part. The packaging industry needs the best young talent at the executive level and this does not necessarily or only mean people with engineering or technical qualifications.                      

On the morning of 9 July 2009, at Pack Plus, at the IppStar stand in Hall 11, we will conduct a free of charge seminar led by HR thought leaders from both outside and inside our industry aimed at executive level engagement. In the long term it is essential to bring together the 3i’s -- industry, institutes and individuals to focus on careers in packaging. HR managers and executives from packaging related companies are invited to speak and share their experiences and ideas about their requirements and eligibility criteria for recruitment and the selection process to ensure effective communication between interested candidates and companies. Please register early for the 9 July seminar as we have limited space. 


IppStar will also organise a one-day event on 10 July at which companies can make presentations to qualified executive level candidates, and potentially take this further with preliminary meetings and interviews at an appropriate time and place at the show. Altogether IppStar will try to bring forward the real human resource issues in the industry, and we welcome the feedback and suggestions of our readers. We have already spoken with HR personnel, managers and CEOs in the packaging industry. Thus far the response from both prospective employees and senior professionals in the industry has been quite positive.

The career event is absolutely free of charge and if you would like to participate or make a ten-minute company presentation on 10 July to prospective employees, you must register before-hand for a time slot. Your early response will ensure that our effort in initiating the discussion on one of the major concerns of the industry is welcome and appreciated by professionals. Discussions aimed at strengthening human resources in the packaging industry will address employment issues such as manpower management, work-life balance, legal implications, recruitment, and training among other concerns. HR managers and qualified executive level personnel as well as students interested in a packaging related career may contact infostar@ippgroup.in or edit3@ippgroup.in .
