Talent Motivation and Skill Development At Destini, we recognise and value the unique combination of talents, experiences and skills of each employee in driving our business success. We aim to promote an inclusive workforce with employees from diverse backgrounds with the skills and experience needed to bring us towards sustainable growth and provide longterm value creation to our stakeholders. We are made up of people with vast experience and industry background. Building capability is key, hence we proactively provide opportunities for growth and development for talent in the organisation through targeted development plans and succession planning. Ensuring our long-term sustainability, we continuously invest time and effort in internal and external recruiting, upskilling, engaging and rewarding talents accordingly. Destini empowers its people by respecting and appreciating their diverse qualities in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, education and national origin for the positive exploration of human capital. As at 31 December 2021, the total number of employees stood at 493 employees (2020: 824 employees), of which 22% (2020: 20%) are female and the remaining 78% (2020: 80%) are male. The number of employees is less than the total number in 2020 due to the conclusion of contracted staff which were on a specified project basis and employees who reached retirement age. In addition to that, the Group divested non-performing assets which includes its staff to other companies. To add, the Group took prudent measures by focusing on the core business segments compared to the non-performing companies. The Group did not have to let go any of its employees during the trying times of the pandemic. Apart from safety and promoting good health, motivation is an essential part of the Group’s responsibility to our employees. The Group engages with its employees through department meetings, annual performance reviews, feedback, surveys and bulletins whereby we actively encourage our employees to participate in. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT We believe in training our people to be the best that they can be. We recognise that a comfortable workplace should provide the opportunities and incentives that are essentials for the people to grow professionally and personally so that they can contribute to the company and the society as a whole. To achieve that, we carry out constant training and internal promotions as a mean of developing and maximizing our human capital, strengthening teamwork and building loyalty among our employees as well as enriching them with better knowledge. Regular and structured trainings are provided to all levels of employees.
