AwanBiru Technology Berhad - Annual Report 2021

Principle 4: Engaging Workplace Keeping Our Employees Well Connected Creating engaging and supportive work culture continues to be our twin focus under the fourth sustainability principle. In realising our aspiration, we have intensified the frequency of engagement with our employees throughout the financial year under review to keep them well connected with one another in the workplace. This has allowed us to retain high motivation level among employees and at the same time, enabled them to maintain good physical and mental health as the employees continue to adapt with the new normal in carrying out their day-to-day business and operational activities virtually. Various meaningful engagements such as appreciation lunch, competitions, online hangouts via virtual talks and exercises were done as part of our effort to inspire well-being, as well as to avoid them from feeling disconnected due to the lack of peer interaction. These engagements have proven to be effective in bringing the employees together, despite the physical distances that separate them as the Group continues with our Work From Home Policy to keep our employees safe from any risk of COVID-19 infection. Doing Well by Keeping Our Employees Well While our employees were doing their part as the prime mover of our efforts in Doing Well by Doing Good to our wide group of stakeholders, we have invested equally as much in keeping them well too. Our employees are the cornerstone for Awantec to drive the nation towards and beyond the digital economy, making it a natural choice for us to keep them well connected despite the distances, well primed to face any form of disruption head- on and well rewarded for every contribution made. At the same time, we continue to go out of our way to abide by our fourth sustainability principle in making Awantec a workplace that is inclusive and diversified for all our employees. FY2021 Employee Engagement Activities We celebrated our employees with an informal luncheon gathering at Grand Hyatt, Kuala Lumpur in cherishing their hard work, efforts as well as to strengthen camaraderie among employees towards achieving future success. 8 July 2020 Appreciation Lunch for Employees Awantec | Sustainability 66 Annual Report 2021
