Bank Islam Integrated Annual Report 2022

Understanding the culture of BIMB is essential for us to develop an effective wellness strategy. Before establishing our wellness blueprint, we delved into the data compiled in our 2019 Employee Survey, which covers the dimensions of engagement, leadership, and communication. We aimed to understand the Bank's current culture and identify factors that may impact our employees' health and well-being. By collecting data from the mobile app, wellness portal, and employee surveys and feedback, we can identify gaps and determine a better course of action to close them. We innovate and pivot our programme where necessary. In response to the pandemic outbreak in 2020, we established the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to assist employees in addressing challenges that may negatively impact their job performance and personal well-being. The EAP has become even more critical in ensuring our employees remain resilient, both in their personal and professional lives, as they embrace the new normal and adopt new ways of working. The Bank also has in place proper governance through the Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) committees at the Head Office as well as at the region level to proactively respond to any issues relating to our staff’s well-being. With good workplace safety and health measures in place, we can eliminate the problem at the root. Thus, reducing absenteeism rates at BIMB. Moreover, actively promoting a healthy work culture will attract more talented employees to our company, which will eventually encourage investors and partners to associate with us. EMPLOYEE WELLBEING, HEALTH AND SAFETY As employers, we take full responsibility for protecting our employees at work while ensuring their well-being is prioritised. Having robust workplace safety measures is one way to show our employees that we care about them and are willing to invest in their future. It can also help us to improve working relationships with our employees which, in return, increases employee engagement and workplace productivity. Not only is this important for the well-being of employees, but it can also reduce the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace, which can lead to lower productivity and increased costs for employers. We adopt a holistic approach to employee wellness by fostering a culture that aligns with our values. By promoting the right culture and values, our employees can contribute to a positive work environment. Our leadership adopts a positive and encouraging tone, and we train our managers in coaching techniques to help employees learn and grow in line with the changes undertaken by the Bank. Health and wellness topics are available as soft skills learning modules on our Learning Management System, allowing our BITIZENs to acquire knowledge that helps them manage their overall wellness and increase their resilience.
