AwanBiru Technology Berhad - Annual Report 2021

Turning Unemployed, Employed While we gave our best in supporting the workforce to deal with job disruptions, we have also focussed on helping the unemployed whose number has increased. Aiming to train and place 10,000 job seeking Malaysians, we engaged and collaborated with the Selangor state government via Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated to run the Selangor Kerjaya Programme in eradicating unemployment. With more than 728,000 unemployed across the nation (55% of themare youths), coupled with an increasing unemployment rate, we strive to help fellow Malaysians to regain their footing in this challenging time. In doing so, we applied a three-pronged approach to effectively place unemployed individuals into the right jobs to ensure high retention rates and job satisfaction level: “The entire placement and interview processes are surprisingly quick. In just two mere weeks, I am officially employed. Who would have thought that job search can be made this easy and fast!” Nor Dyana Aisyah 24, Graphic Designer Helping Employers, Employ There is no better way to turn the unemployed employed, other than helping the employers to employ. As business owners and organisations grapple with the economic downturn caused by the pandemic, we helped to relieve the employment and reemployment processes off their shoulders - allowing them to be fully invested in their recovery and growth. Principle 1: Sustainable Lifelong Learning Environment Prepare Talents for New Roles In helping individuals to be agile and competent in their new jobs, we capitalise on our capabilities as a Technology and Talent innovator in addressing any identified skill or knowledge gaps via continuous career coaching, upskilling, reskilling and monitoring. Decide on Best-Fit-Jobs With the combination of data obtained from our talent management platform, TalentXchange and psychometric assessment, we make guided decisions in pairing individuals with the right jobs, based on their respective characteristics and strengths. Identify Unutilised Talents and Market Needs We evaluate the untapped human capital, along with the urgent and emerging market needs. This is done by profiling job seekers, fostering collaborative relationships with business owners in Malaysia, and partnering with recruitment agencies. Awantec | Sustainability 54 Annual Report 2021
