Promoting the health and wellbeing of employees We recognise that our duty in ensuring healthy and safe employees extends beyond ensuring such conditions exist within their working environment and includes measures to enhance their quality of life in general. To this end, we have launched initiatives geared at improving their physical fitness, emotional wellbeing, lifestyle habits and other general health related issues. As the foundation of our approach, we provide our employees with access to non-occupational medical and healthcare services, which are delivered by a third-party insurance provider, MiCare. Through this facility, our executive and non-executive employees are entitled to health screenings and medical services in panel clinics, private and government hospitals across Malaysia. During the year, we conducted health screening in collaboration with PERKESO at Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah, Hospital Bukit Mertajam and Hospital Taiping. A total of 300 employees participated in these health screening exercises, marking a key success in our efforts to enhance employee wellbeing. During the year in review, we also continued our BeFit programmes which was implemented since 2021 to assess and monitor the physical fitness of our employees. As part of the project, a total of 216 employees participated to undergo seven battery test sessions which were developed based on the national physical test routines. Following these tests, employees then underwent a customised bootcamp module with the aim of sustaining or improving their level of fitness. Webinars on health-related topics such as nutrition and diet, choosing the right exercise, monkey pox and other relevant topics Morning exercise sessions including the Taiso exercise routine and Zumba 2021 saw us rolling out the Muscular Skeletal Disorder project to analyse and improve workplace ergonomics based on ergonomic risk factors identified in environmental risk assessment (“ERA”). Through ergonomics awareness and improvement of ergonomic risk factors identified in ERA, the MSD project has managed to reduce MSD-related medical expenses. Our employees also have access to psychologist and psychiatrist consultations, with the cost borne by the Group. This is supported by the DASS surveys, which is designed to measure the three related negative emotional states of depression, anxiety and stress. Through DASS surveys, we are able to identify employees who are in need of such help and provide them with the necessary assistance. Moreover, we also conduct awareness sessions and ultimately provide psychologist support. Such psychological support was further enhanced during the year with the appointment of an in-house psychologist to help employees deal with emotional or mental health issues. Other health promotion programmes provided include webinars, communication via infographics as well as exercise sessions such as Taiso and Zumba. These programmes are aimed at improving general health awareness and providing opportunities for employees to develop healthy habits. Some of the programmes offered include: Infographics entitled “Weight Warrior Diet Myths and Facts”, “Hunger vs. Cravings”, “Pick Your Calorie Intake Wisely” and “Weight Management Tips” SOCIAL VALUE CREATION p.157 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT p.156 UEM EDGENTA BERHAD INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2022 SOCIAL VALUE CREATION 98.8% of employees completed the mandatory OHS e-learning modules 3,026 of employees completed a total of 25,050 hours of HSSE training cumulatively 27 vendors and contractors (Perintis Council) completed health and safety trainings A total of 255 HSSE trainings for employees have been conducted HSSE Training & Initiatives Moving forward, we will continue to implement improvements to our training approach in order to maintain the highest health and safety values among our employees and contractors.
