EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT
Treating our employees as family, we provide training and development opportunities to allow them realise their full potential in a healthy, safe, and respectful working environment.
FEATURE STORY
We believe that promoting diversity, equality and inclusion is crucial in a workplace. We put this into action with a pilot workshop that focused on building inclusivity. It allowed team members to gain a better understanding of inclusive employment practices, as well as enhancing their communication and collaboration skills when interacting with Persons with Differences (PWD). The experience reinforced the employees’ commitment to diversity, with an aim of developing them into inclusive leaders of our company.
In September 2023, we held our first ever Lunch & Learn session, themed “Glocalisation and Virtualisation: A Blueprint to Building Engagement with NexGen Customers in China and APAC”, inviting branding expert Mr. Aaron Lau from Gusto Collective to share his insights on harnessing innovative technologies such as augmented reality and digital humans to create captivating experiences that can engage the next generation of customers.
In January 2024, we further invited Mr. Gary Lo from Glo Consulting to talk about “the Art of Storytelling in Business Presentations”. It was a fruitful, inspiring session about crafting concise yet impactful messages for effective communication, and received an enthusiastic response from our colleagues, who got the opportunity to improve communication skills that are vital for their work.
During FY2024, we reached 122 participants through Lunch & Learn sessions. We are planning more Lunch & Learn sessions in the future, inviting industry leaders to share with us all about their professional journeys and provide us with inspiring insights. We hope this series can offer a fun, interactive way for our employees to equip themselves with soft skills, beyond on-the-job training.
In addition to our regular employee training programmes, we have committed to fostering a spirit of intrapreneurship among our workforce. To this end, we organised a variety of initiatives to transform employees into self motivated and open minded leaders, who act like entrepreneurs within our Group.
- Established the Occupational Safety and Health Committee to advocate and oversee our occupational health and safety measures
- Enhanced our safety management system and measures in all our production hubs by adopting the more stringent ISO 45001 standards, migrating from OHSAS 18001
- Continuously implement our “Zero-Accident Programme” that includes regular inspections of our production hubs
- Organised an array of recreational activities for our staff to promote work-life balance and health
- Adopted family-friendly measures, such as providing nursing facilities at offices and special leaves for staff
- Set up Employee Assistance Programme ("EAP”) with EAP ambassadors help to take care of our colleagues’ mental wellbeing by providing psychological consultations
