SPIDER, with ‘D’ representing Developing Talent. As a service-oriented business, Hayleys Fentons
places its employees at the heart of everything it does, offering diverse opportunities to grow,
nourish, reskill, and upskill in a rapidly evolving engineering landscape.
“In an engineering environment, gathering authentic employee feedback can be challenging due to
the technical nature of roles and project-based workflows,” noted Lalani Weeraarachchi, General
Manager – Human Resources, Hayleys Fentons Limited. “However, with strong leadership support
and a consistent focus on employee engagement, we were able to uncover valuable insights that will
help us elevate the workplace experience further, positioning us as an employer of choice in a highly
