Empowering Our People and Enriching Our Communities Integrated Annual Report 2024 SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 203 Employee Engagement Through our annual employee engagement survey, several entities highlighted concerns relating to workplace practices, including corporate culture, career development programmes, and infrastructure. In response, we implemented targeted action plans to enhance the employee experience, improve engagement, and boost morale. This includes the following: Initiatives Description Upgraded our training and office spaces to enhance the overall work environment. Training facilities were improved with advanced technology to support seamless learning and development, while office spaces, including workstations, common areas and amenities, were modernised to foster comfort, collaboration and efficiency. Workplace Transformation and Modernisation Upgraded the gym and yoga room with enhanced facilities. Complementing these efforts, we introduced wellness programmes aimed at fostering a healthy work-life balance. Employee Wellness Enhancements Hosted a Wellness Awareness Week campaign with a range of activities focused on health and well-being. The campaign featured various sessions, including shoulder massages, emotional assessments, healthy cooking classes, traditional Chinese medicine consultations, gym equipment workshop, stress management workshop and an eye health workshop. Wellness Awareness Week Launched the Knowledge Corner that offers business books to foster learning and professional growth. It aims to bridge competency gaps, encourage self-development and spark innovation through shared knowledge. Knowledge Corner Initiative Enhancement of Workers’ Accommodation Facilities PMBtu embarked on a township development project at Samalaju Industrial Park, Bintulu, designed to enhance the living conditions of our employees. Spanning 72.2 acres, this initiative adhered fully to the Employees’ Minimum Standards of Housing, Accommodations and Amenities Act 1990 (Act 446). The development was carefully planned in phases to deliver both immediate benefits and long-term value. The initial stage focused on constructing basic amenities such as shop lots and accommodation and convenience stores to meet workers’ daily needs. Future phases will introduce additional residential units alongside facilities such as a clubhouse, sports areas, landscaped gardens and recreational spaces. A notable feature of this project is the allocation of 10% of the township as green space, which promotes sustainability and fosters an environment conducive to health and relaxation. Through engagement with regional contractors and sourcing materials locally, the project also stimulates economic activity, creates jobs for the surrounding community. In addition, Press Metal signed an MoU for a long-term rental agreement at a centralised labour quarters in Klang Sentral, Selangor. Set to commence construction in 2025 and reach completion by 2026, this development addresses housing needs and enhances worker welfare. Together, these initiatives exemplify Press Metal’s resolute commitment to cultivating a balanced work-life culture, prioritising employee well-being and contributing to local communities through infrastructure improvements, employment opportunities and support for regional businesses.
