Employee Development and Engagement
We recognise the importance of engaging, motivating, training
and supporting our people. We strive to develop our employees
to reach their maximum potential through training, job rotation
and internal promotion opportunities. Training allocation is
available annually for our employees to participate in internal
or external workshops and seminars. We believe that a mixture
of both internal and external training develops targeted skills
and knowledge for a specific role.
Where headcount reductions are necessary, affected
employees are redeployed to new job tasks where retraining
and skill upgrading are provided to help them transition into
the new tasks.

Bulking Division
has long provided education aid to its
eligible employees in their pursuit of higher education and job-
related certification to equip them with the necessary skills
and knowledge relevant to their day-to-day role.
All new employees undergo an induction program which
helps them to familiarise with all aspects of the Company
and the Group, understand the responsibilities of their new
role, the culture of our business, the processes they need to
follow as well as our expectations for ethical conduct. They
will also be provided with the Employee Handbook before, or
as soon as they start their new job. The Handbook provides
new employees with information about their conditions of
employment as well as the standards of professional behaviour
expected.
We also set annual key performance indicators for our
employees that reflect critical success factors in their career
development. This formal performance andcareer development
reviews take place once a year at the end of the financial
year. It also serves as an effective communication platform
between employer and employee for feedback, sharing ideas,
identify avenues for improvement and to recognise individual
training and development needs. Based on performance and
contribution, the employees are rewarded through increments,
bonuses and/or promotions.
