Yinson Annual Report 2020

89 Annual Report 2020 We also introduced examination leave, complementing our focus on employee training and professional development. Additionally, in Malaysia, we extended our maternity leave from 60 days to 120 days and paternity leave from two days to 14 days. The allocations have surpassed industry norms. We sought to involve and appreciate our families more this year. Our Singapore office introduced a monthly ‘family day’, where employees are encouraged to leave the office early and spend time with their families. We also made a conscious effort to select CSR events which can involve our families. For example, all three beach clean-up events in Miri, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, as well as Project FPSO Abigail- Joseph’s tree planting activity saw our loved ones joining in. The KL office is looking to move to new premises during FYE 2021. One of the key considerations for the design of the new premise is to make it as family-friendly as possible, with facilities including a fully equipped nursing room and childrens’ play area. Localisation GOALS SET FOR FYE 2020 PROGRESS FOCUS FOR FYE 2021 Launch and execute Nigeria Trainee Programme 12 trainees successfully underwent the Nigeria Trainee Programme Employ majority of trainees for operations Continue execution of Ghana Graduate Trainee Programme 20 trainees successfully completed the Ghana Graduate Trainee Programme Identify opportunities for international secondment within the Group Hire local workforce 66% local workforce achieved in Ghana office 80% local workforce in Ghana office by 2022 One of Yinson’s business strategies is to build a strong local presence in our operating countries. We believe that the more local capacity is created in terms of skilled workforce and experience, the more sustainable our local operations will be. The FPSO business is long-term, with assets continuously operating in their fields for many years. Thus, building a sustainable workforce is paramount. Nigeria Trainee Programme Nigeria’s trainee programme was launched this financial year, with 12 trainees undergoing a 12-month programme in the pre-ops phase for FPSO Abigail-Joseph. The training programme had four parts: Entry phase Relevant medical examinations, engagement contract, required Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (“SCTW”) courses FPSO familiarisation Four weeks aboard FPSO JAK followed by a visit to FPSO Abigail-Joseph Shipyard training 12 weeks of shipyard and classroom training at two Keppel Training Centres in Singapore Vessel attachment On-the-job training onboard FPSO Abigail-Joseph and training courses in accordance with the training matrix.
