Celebrating Courage - Kanoo Travel Dubai's 'Wear Pink to Work' for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In a spirited demonstration of solidarity and commitment, Kanoo Travel Dubai commemorated Breast Cancer Awareness Month by organizing a meaningful event on October 12, 2023. Under the leadership of Aubrey Heldt, General Manager of Kanoo Travel, the staff came together to raise awareness and show their support for those affected by breast cancer.

To honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the first IATA member travel agency in the GCC and a prominent force within the Middle East's travel industry designated the 12th of October as 'Wear Pink to Work' Day, inviting employees to don their best shades of pink. This symbolic gesture aimed to celebrate the survivors' resilience and extend empathy to those presently fighting the battle against breast cancer. The initiative included the distribution of pink ribbons to all staff members, adorning the office with pink decorations, and the provision of delectable, pink-themed cake and doughnuts.

During a brief gathering, informative materials were shared with the staff. These materials were also circulated through email to ensure that everyone was well-informed about the early symptoms of breast cancer. Emphasis was placed on encouraging women to seize the opportunity for free clinical breast examinations and mammogram screenings available throughout the UAE. Additionally, the staff was educated on the importance of regular self-examinations at home, underscoring the significance of early detection.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, celebrated every October, is a pivotal annual campaign dedicated to shedding light on the prevalence and impact of breast cancer. With more than 2.3 million new cases reported annually, breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide. Alarmingly, in 95% of countries, breast cancer ranks as the leading or second-leading cause of female cancer-related fatalities. A salient fact that cannot be overlooked is that being female is the most pronounced risk factor for breast cancer.

Aubrey Heldt, the General Manager of Kanoo Travel Dubai, remarked, "Our 'Wear Pink to Work' Day and associated activities were an endeavor to join the global community in the fight against breast cancer. By raising awareness and promoting early detection, we can save lives and support those impacted by this disease. Our team's dedication and participation testify to our commitment to social responsibility."

Kanoo Travel Dubai continues to champion social causes and actively engage with the community meaningfully. As Breast Cancer Awareness Month extends throughout October, the company stands firmly in its resolve to spread awareness and encourage proactive health measures to combat this prevalent disease.

Fahad Kanoo, SBU Board Member of The Kanoo Group, shares success with the production team in Italy, where "Crane of the Year' is built

 

Fahad Kanoo, SBU Board Member of The Kanoo Group, the regional Grove dealer in the Middle East, travelled to Europe to share success with the Niella Tanaro factory in Italy, where "Crane of the Year' is assembled.

Grove's GRT8100 was named 'Crane of the Year' at an awards ceremony staged in Dubai this past June by Construction Machinery Middle East (CMME). CMME is one of the leading publications for the heavy machinery sector in the Middle East. Its annual Construction Machinery Middle East Awards saw 13,000 people voting across 20 categories to select the region's best and most popular machinery brands.

Kanoo Machinery, a leading equipment supplier in the Middle East and a long-time Grove dealer, understands the benefits of the GRT8100 better than most. The company has delivered multiple GRT8100 cranes across the region in recent years.

Fahad Kanoo, said: "The Middle East is a diverse landscape that includes deserts, mountains, large urban centers and sprawling industrial sites. Yet the Grove GRT8100 can handle any challenge. It's compact, strong, and offers some of the best off-road capabilities, making it ideal for all projects. We are proud to offer customers such an impressive unit in the Middle East; this award is well deserved."

Grove rough-terrain cranes have many features that customers in the Middle East appreciate. These include heavy-duty tires, powerful engines and advanced cooling systems, enabling them to operate reliably in even the most extreme weather conditions or job sites.

Andrew Youssef, general manager for Manitowoc covering Middle East, Africa, and CIS, said: "We're thrilled the Grove GRT8100 was selected for the first time to win such a prestigious award in the Middle East, and we wanted to share the success with our fantastic production team at the factory. Every day, the team engineers and manufactures the best rough-terrain cranes. This award is a testament to them for championing the Middle East and Africa region with world-class products. Without the Niella team, this award would not be possible, and feedback and recognition from the industry only inspire us to do even more. Our colleagues in Italy were just as excited as we were to receive this award."

Manitowoc is the world's most celebrated maker of crawler cranes. Its cranes have remained at the top of the lifting world for a century, and Manitowoc continues to deliver technological breakthroughs that enhance load charts, increase efficiency, improve transport, simplify erections and earn owners’ exceptional returns on their investments. With so much innovation at its core, it's no wonder "Manitowoc" is synonymous with crawler cranes.

More than 60 GRT8100 cranes are working in the Middle East alone.

The Manitowoc team and The Kanoo Group SBU Board Member Fahad Kanoo flew to Niella Tanaro to congratulate the maker on making the GRT8100 a success in the Middle East.

The Grove GRT8100 is a 100t capacity crane capable of reaching up to 73 m when utilizing its maximum 47 m, five-section main boom, with a full complement of boom extension and insert options. It features the Manitowoc Crane Control System (CCS) with its user-friendly interface. There's also a tilting cab and impressive load charts, while extensive component testing ensures excellent reliability. The crane is powered by a Cummins QSB6.7L engine that delivers strong line pull, powerful hoisting capability and impressive lifting performance.

At the end of 2022, the GRT8100 upgraded to GRT8100-1 in the Grove rough-terrain crane line. This exciting upgrade features the same impressive 360° load charts as its predecessor, maintaining the exact overall dimensions, counterweight and five-section, 12 - 47 m full-power MEGAFORM® boom. However, with the new chassis on the 100t capacity GRT8100-1, customers can integrate the highly flexible MAXbase variable position outrigger system, which offers up to 15% capacity improvements in specific configurations.

MAXbase also simplifies setup on congested job sites, with the four hydraulically telescoping outriggers extended over symmetric and asymmetric positions. Also new to the outrigger design is an auto-level feature for easy job site setup and Manitowoc's smart, length-sensing Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS).

Happy Emirati Women's Day! Message from our Director MAHA HAMED KANOO

 

Sustainability is not just about the environment. It is also about social and economic development. We need to create a society where everyone can thrive. Working in the corporate world all my life, I am committed to working towards this goal, supporting the mission and vision of COP28.

Women have a unique role in this effort, as we are the primary caregivers and educators. We can also use our voices to advocate for policies that support sustainability. Sustainability is essential to our future, and we must protect our environment and resources for future generations.

The Kanoo Group is all about that. We must invest in renewable energy and other sustainable technologies and commit to working together to build a more sustainable future for all, including women.

As a woman who grew up in the UAE and has led the drive for the inclusion of Emirati personnel in all our company tiers, I am very humbled to spearhead this initiative of incorporation. Even before the UAE government's mandatory inclusion of Emiratis in private companies, The Kanoo Group has always prioritized Emiratis in the workforce. They can be assured of our full support.

In the heart of corporate synergy, I am very proud of every Emirati woman at The Kanoo Group who stands firm, showing that collaboration isn't just a word; it's a sustainable action that shapes the destiny of the company, the country, and the family. I wish to greet all of them on this joyous day.

First launched by Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak in 2015, the annual Emirati Women’s Day is celebrated each year on August 28th. It’s a poignant date that Her Highness chose as it coincides with the day the UAE’s General Women’s Union (GWU) was established in 1975.

In April, Sheikha Fatima said, “Every year, we proudly announce an inspiring theme for Emirati Women’s Day, and this national occasion is our priority. This day highlights objectives aligning with the country’s global leadership in recognizing and empowering women.”

In light of the theme, it is only fitting to ask some of The Kanoo Group's incredible women who embody the theme perfectly on this year’s theme.

A Surefire Way to Set New Employees Up for Success

A person's first days or few weeks at a new job are a mix of excitement and anxiety as they settle into their new role and find out how they fit into the company culture.

The Kanoo Group understands the importance of a comprehensive orientation program and must execute this process effectively to ensure new employees get off to a great start. 

The process begins with the Human Resources and Administration Department initiating a series of approaches to introducing new employees to the company's history, culture, and values.

The aim is to familiarize the new hires with documented procedures and work instructions needed as an easy reference for guidance on executing their work more efficiently and effectively, thus, providing standard quality products and services to clients at all times.

Induction Day is a full-day event that includes breakout sessions on company policies and procedures. New employees also have the opportunity to meet new members and get to know the company's history and culture firsthand.

"Our orientation program is designed to help new employees feel welcome and supported," said Ms Maha Kanoo, Director of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo (Holdings) BSC & Director of The Kanoo Group (UAE & Oman). "We want them to clearly understand our company's culture and values, to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their new role."

As Ms Maryam Al Busaidy, HR Manager - Administration & Emiratisation of The Kanoo Group (UAE & Oman), explains, "A good new staff orientation also makes sense for keeping employees engaged and happy with their decision to join the company. "Introduction to the company is more than just handing out laptops and showing new hires their desks. We want our new employees to be truly introduced to the company mission, vision, and values as well as start building relationships on day one."

One of the highlights of The Kanoo Group's induction program is a game-based learning session led by Ms Rose Santillan Flores, Asst HR & Admin Manager of The Kanoo Group (UAE). "We want our new employees to be excited about learning our company's policies and procedures", said Flores. "The game-based learning session is a great way to do that, and it also helps to break the ice making the event lively and engaging."

"Our main goal is to disseminate proper information to all our new employees in order to achieve effective implementation of the company’s policies & procedures, and most importantly, that they feel the sense of pride to be a part of the Kanoo family.", Flores added.

"The QHSE Department's involvement in the orientation process is an integral part of the program. This is to familiarize the new employees with our ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001 Management Systems. This will help them deliver their work efficiently and effectively in meeting customer's requirements," added Mr Victor Jaurigue, Asst Manager - QHSE Department of The Kanoo Group.

The Kanoo Group's orientation strategy is a comprehensive and effective way to welcome new employees and set them up for success. The modules are well-designed and engaging, and it helps new employees feel welcome and supported.

Welcome to the Kanoo Group family!
