EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE WORK-LIFE BALANCE AMONG EMPLOYEES We are cognisant that fostering work-life balance is essential to supporting the overall well-being and performance of our employees. To this end, we have introduced several initiatives aimed at enhancing both their professional and personal lives. Our Flexible Working Arrangement (FWA) allows employees to manage their work schedules more effectively, enabling them to better balance their professional responsibilities with personal commitments. We also prioritise physical health and recreation through our Sports & Recreational Club, alongside HSSE-led initiatives that promote an active and healthy lifestyle. These programmes encourage employees to engage in sports, fitness activities, and wellness campaigns, contributing to their physical and mental resilience. Recognising the importance of providing support in times of need, the Edgenta Care Society was established to assist employees facing hardships due to unforeseen calamities or financial challenges. In 2023, Edgenta Care Society disbursed RM16,912 to aid 10 colleagues, while in 2024. RM27,677 was disbursed for 17 colleagues. Additionally, our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offers confidential physical and mental health consultations, providing employees with access to professional support when they require guidance on health-related or personal matters. To celebrate the achievements of our employees’ families, we introduced the Children Excellence Award, which recognises the academic accomplishments of employees’ children. This year, a total of 19 recipients were awarded, with a total disbursement of RM9,700. We also offer Study Grants to support employees’ children pursuing their education, ensuring that financial limitations do not hinder their academic growth. A total of 27 recipients benefited from the Study Grant, with a total amount of RM215,000 disbursed. Together, these initiatives reflect UEM Edgenta’s holistic approach to employee well-being, creating a workplace where individuals feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive both professionally and personally. UEM Edgenta upholds the rights of its employees to union representation, fostering a fair and inclusive workplace. As of 3 April 2023, 2,559 employees under UEMS Malaysia fall within the scope of union representation, granting the union the mandate to advocate for their collective interests on employment terms and working conditions. While not all employees are registered union members, this group represents the potential union numbers recognised by the union. We continuously engage with union representatives to promote transparent dialogue and ensure that employee voices are heard.
