119 SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW | EMPOWERING PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES Strengthening employee engagement Employee engagement directly impacts productivity, retention rates and overall company performance. Engaged employees demonstrate higher motivation and commitment, resulting in elevated job satisfaction and productivity levels. We believe that investing in employee engagement not only enhances organisational culture and morale but also fosters business growth and success. We conduct employee engagement surveys to assess the level of engagement, satisfaction and morale among employees. During the period under review, we introduced a new employee engagement survey tool. The survey took place in October 2023, with the results shared across the organisation. Leaders from across the company followed up with employees to address any areas that need improvement based on survey findings. The overall employee engagement score was 7.4, with 750 comments. The survey identified commitment and team spirit as strengths, while areas that required improvement were strategic leadership and personal development. In 2024, the tool was integrated with our Global HRIS, allowing leaders to conduct pulse surveys regularly at both department and business levels to monitor engagement. Yinson also strived to enhance employees’ work-life balance by implementing initiatives that support physical, mental and emotional well-being. For example, we celebrated World Mental Health Day and with a webinar to raise awareness on menopause. To further engage employees and promote health and wellbeing, we executed these initiatives across our offices: • Providing healthy and balanced meals for employees. • Organising monthly workshops/webinars on nutrition, mental and physical health, stress management, breast cancer awareness and career and financial wellness. • Conducting various physical activities such as winter games, yoga/pilates classes, armoury bootcamp, bicycle races, badminton, bowling and hiking activities through the Yinson Social and Sports Clubs in country offices. • Hosting social events like summer parties, boat trips, games and movie nights to foster camaraderie among employees. • Celebrating festive occasions, birthdays and employee milestones with office lunches as a gesture of appreciation. Looking ahead, we plan to review insurance policies to incorporate Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) and mental health and well-being programmes. We remain committed to raising awareness on health and well-being through webinars and health talks, while also offering training for people managers and leaders to recognise and assist employees dealing with stress and challenges.
