Developing Competencies We aspire to grow with our people and we invest in both their work-related and personal development. In general, we continuously monitor our employees and offer training and upskilling opportunities that are relevant to their areas of work, positions, talents and interests. We provide both internal and external training, as well as on-the-job training, particularly in technical and management skills. Our established appraisal guidelines also enable us to identify and implement development programmes for our employees. Occupational Safety and Health The Group endeavours to ensure our employees work in a safe and healthy environment. Not only does it benefit the well-being of our employees, it ensures the Group’s productivity which is crucial during these challenging times. We have implemented guidelines and regulations to prevent, reduce and address occupational injuries as well as to stem the spread of COVID-19. Our internal reporting protocol dictates that any workplace accidents, occupational diseases and matters relating to the health and safety of our employees shall first be reported to the Human Resources Department. They would subsequently be escalated to Management followed by the BOD if necessary, depending on the severity of the matter. As part of our fight to curb the spread of COVID-19, the Group continues to enforce safe distancing measures, introduced shift-based work hours and embraced telecommuting arrangements for employees who can effectively fulfil their roles doing so. Other efforts include the provision of face masks and hand sanitisers to employees, and to actively promote the wearing of face masks at all times. Any suspicion of an infection is actively monitored and the employee will be sent for immediate screening and where their results returned positive, they would be immediately required to adhere to the SOP set by the Ministry of Health. As an additional precautionary measure, we have also been conducting company-wide sanitisation twice weekly. During the FYE 31 August 2022, there has not been any incident of work-related injuries or fatalities and the managing of COVID-19 was not detrimental to our business operations. There is no non-compliance to health and safety laws and regulations. Our employees have all been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. We will continue to implement control measures and strive for a zero-incident workplace. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP We acknowledge that for the long-term sustainability of the Group, sound environmental stewardship is necessary. Thus, we are committed to minimising any adverse impact of our operations on the environment. Energy consumption of the Group mainly refers to electricity usage as well as fuel in the form of diesel for our forklifts and transportation when delivering our products.
