We conduct an annual review to evaluate our employees’ progress and competencies in the context of their roles. This will then be taken into account for their salary and promotion appraisals. Aside from the annual reviews, we also adopt an as needed approach when it comes to reviewing their performance so that we may address matters that require immediate attention.
