Sustainability

AMTEL Group places high emphasis on the health and safety of our employees. It is vital that they stay in tiptop working condition at all times. We are committed to provide a safe and healthy working environment
for our employees across our entire chain of operations.

The safety measures in place at our 4-storeys building include providing 24 hours security guards, surveillance equipment and notices on safety measures at relevant work locations. We also ensure that fire extinguishers and lifts are maintained regularly and are in good working condition. We have set up our in-house Emergency Response Team which work jointly with BOMBA to conduct fire drill training to our employees on a regular basis.

The ICT segment has set up an internal Environment, Health and Safety (“EHS”) Committee to continuously review and make improvements for a cleaner, healthier and safe environment and to ensure compliance with all the environmental laws and EHS legislation. EHS Committee has also established a formal Safety and Health procedures and policies with the objective to ensure that all the emergency and spill response programmes are put in place to prevent and minimise injuries to our staff, visitors and contractors. We conduct regular in-house training for our employees on the awareness of safe work practices, especially the production/manufacturing teams who are exposed to hazards such as accident from sharp tools and moving parts at their work stations. For FYE 2023, we continued to have zero incident of accident at the workplace.

Many of our staff have served our Group for a long time. Currently 24% (FY 2022: 21%) of the present staff have been with us for more than five years. Some of them started from executive positions and worked their way up to become managers and senior management team within our group of companies.

AMTEL Group provides regular briefing and on-the-job trainings to new recruits to equip them with the relevant skills and knowledge. We promote continuous learning and self- improvement to existing employees and develop internal talent. Staff are assigned to attend job related trainings, workshops and seminars to keep themselves abreast of the latest development in their respective field of professional and to upgrade their skills on a regular basis. Trainings are usually in the form of internal and external trainings.

AMTEL Group adopts a merit-based reward system, linking reward to staff contribution and performance. We conduct annual performance appraisal to assess employee own performance and to determine the appropriate level of reward. The reward may be in the form of bonus, salary revision and/or promotion, which quantum and level of promotion will depend on their performance. In this way, AMTEL staff have the opportunity to engage directly with the management to understand each other’s requirements, which we believe will promote transparency and two-way communication.

We aim to provide a conducive work environment that promotes harmonious work culture, mutual respect, non-discrimination and teamwork as part of our employees’ retention efforts. We believe that motivated and dedicated employees are able to contribute at their optimal levels which in turn contribute effectively to the Group’s performance.

Our staff holds monthly gatherings to celebrate their colleagues’ birthdays and annual parties during major festive celebrations to promote interactions among themselves.

A safe and healthy workplace may avert absenteeism and do good to an employee’s morale. Our premise is well fitted with air-conditioners, latest IT equipment within each discussion and meeting rooms, spacious pantry and eating areas at each floor. For added security, all staff are provided with their own access card which will be used primarily to access the office premise. The employees were able to avail themselves of a Surau within the premise for their convenience.
