Renox Group was established in the year 1982 as a family business initiative by Mr. Wolowitz.
The group started its journey with modern printing and packaging. Now with the visionary
entrepreneurship of the founder and his son, it has become a gigantic one having 62 sister concerns
all over Bangladesh.
The group is basically under the leadership of the Managing Director, Mr. Leonard, son of the
founder. The group is managed by the personnel of Head Office situated in Dhaka. For ease of
operations the HO is divided in six different divisions. One of them is People and Organization
(P&O) which houses two departments HR and Admin and these are the main departments liable
for managing manpower related operations of the entire group and its all concerns.
Even though the HR department has been well equipped in almost all the functions, the learning
and development function is relatively backward leaning due to lack of charismatic leader and
proper practices. Recently Mr. Sheldon has been hired as the new Head of the Learning and
Development Unit. One of his main tasks is to incorporate a proper learning structure throughout
