The stage is set in Geneva for the Informal Meeting on Cyprus, scheduled to start today under the aegis of the United Nations. This key dialogue aims to explore pathways for resolving the Cyprus issue, with President Nikos Christodoulides representing the Greek Cypriot side, striving for a continuation of talks from Crans Montana in 2017.

Arriving Sunday evening, the Cyprus delegation, including pivotal political figures such as former President Nicos Anastasiades and leaders from major Cypriot political parties, joins the Geneva discussions. The event will kick off with a dinner hosted by the UN Secretary-General.

Meanwhile, the Turkish Cypriot delegation, led by Ersin Tatar, is prepared to present scenarios focused on inter-state cooperation based on sovereign equality.

Tomorrow, the dialogue continues with bilateral meetings between UN Secretary-General António Guterres and each side, followed by a plenary session at the Palais des Nations.

The international community, including Greece, Turkey, and the UK delegations, is keenly watching this discourse, with hopes of steering towards a breakthrough solution, reflecting on past meetings, such as the one previously held in Geneva in April 2021. Cyprus’ complex political landscape, stemming from its division since 1974, continues to unfold in these international negotiations.

Investing In Human Capital

In a bold move that underscores the growing importance of human capital in today’s business landscape, Sklavenitis Cyprus has taken innovative steps to ensure its workforce is both valued and supported. The supermarket chain has introduced a policy to pay a 14th salary to all employees—including those from Papantoniou Supermarkets—cementing its status as the sole retailer in Cyprus to implement such a comprehensive benefit.

A Significant Investment In People

This initiative is far from symbolic. With an estimated total cost of €2 million, it represents a committed investment in the company’s most valuable asset—its people. By providing an additional salary, Sklavenitis reinforces a culture of inclusivity and fairness, acknowledging every employee’s contribution to its success.

Robust Benefits For Long-Term Stability

Complementary to the 14th salary, the company has launched a robust benefits program designed to address both financial and personal security. An Automatic Cost of Living Adjustment (ATA) of 12.56 per cent ensures that wages remain aligned with inflation, safeguarding real income stability for its team members.

Comprehensive Health And Life Support

Sklavenitis further enhances employee welfare through access to a Group Life and Health Insurance Plan and a Provident Fund co-funded by the employer. These measures not only provide immediate protection but also empower employees to plan confidently for the future.

Exclusive Perks And Incentives

The company extends its commitment beyond conventional benefits by offering store discounts, a birth allowance, and holiday gift vouchers valued at €100 during both Easter and Christmas. These additional perks enhance employee satisfaction and underline Sklavenitis’ people-first ethos.

A Strategy For Mutual Success

In an industry where employee engagement directly impacts customer satisfaction, Sklavenitis’ comprehensive approach stands out as both a progressive and strategic business decision. By investing in its workforce, the company not only nurtures a supportive workplace but also drives superior corporate performance, setting a new benchmark for responsible employment practices in Cyprus.
