Performance Measurement
Evaluating our employees’ performance is a key component to monitor the quality of manpower in the Group. In order to gauge the performance of our employees, appraisals are conducted for all confirmed employees at executive level annually. The appraisal process allows both appraisee and appraiser to communicate and discuss on work goals as well as personal enhancement in his or her career. Promotions and job upgrading may be recommended by the head of department based on the performance evaluation result and the discretion of the Management.
Work -Life Balance
The Group acknowledges the importance of work-life balance for the health and wellbeing of employees. This is important for sustainable organisational performance as stress and psychological issues may affect work effectiveness. Therefore, various activities and events related to health awareness ie office safety, laughter yoga, breast cancer awareness, self- defence, etc. have been organised to enlighten the staff on the respective subject matters, and also to create a positive and healthy workplace culture.
