BMICH, Sri Lanka’s iconic landmark, facilitated a program on human resource management and personal etiquette on 11 February for the third and fourth year undergraduates following the HR degree at the University of Colombo. 

The CSR program was organised and arranged on a request made by the Faculty of Management and Finance of the University of Colombo with the objective of enhancing the job readiness of the undergraduates.  “It is important that our undergraduates are made ‘job ready’ with practical programs conducted hand in hand by the universities and leading corporate entities in order to engage them with the corporate world. We are delighted to have had the opportunity together with the Mount Lavinia Hotel to partner with the Faculty of Management and Finance of the University of Colombo in this endeavour,” said BMICH Chief Executive Sunil Dissanayake.

The program consisted of two sessions, the first being a lecture on the ‘HR Supply Chain,’ which was delivered by Dissanayake. The session was very interactive making it interesting while providing an opportunity for the undergraduates to get a clear understanding of the underlying concepts of the HR supply chain.  The next session was on ‘Table Etiquette,’ which was conducted by Lakshman Dissanayake of the Mount Lavinia Hotel Catering Services (MLHCS), the exclusive Catering Partner of BMICH and touched upon the do’s and don’ts to be followed at a breakfast, lunch or dinner engagement which is important in personal as well as business life to portray a good image of oneself.         

The BMICH is Sri Lanka’s largest and Asia’s very first purpose-built convention centre with ultra-modern facilities. Recently redesigned, renovated and refurbished, BMICH is South Asia’s premier integrated MICE complex with all the facilities required to host any type of convention, seminar, exhibition, conference or wedding including multi-day international conventions and conferences.
