Employee Diversity
(as in 2022)
Board of Directors
(as in 2022)
While our industry is inherently male-dominated, we are actively promoting the recruitment of female talent at all levels, especially in our main populations of engineering and technology, develop and retain them with the aim of increasing the proportion of female employees and managers year-on-year. Developing leadership talent for the future has been a key focus of our Group HR strategy and we have made significant investment in leadership development activities. In 2022, the Group seek to address the gender diversity by encouraging more women into next generation of leader through focused and targeted activities including giving high potential females an internal or external mentor, ensuring that we consider female candidates where we can for leadership roles. Additionally, the Group continue to have female recruiters to handle the recruiting for technical positions, create chances for women to share work environment and life at Greatech, and support initiatives such as International Women’s Day to acknowledge the diversity of our organisation and the communities in which we operate.
We are also committed to creating a work environment that is inclusive and supportive of women. Our recruitment efforts for technical positions are handled by female recruiters, and we are actively creating opportunities for women to network and share their experiences within our company. Additionally, we support initiatives such as International Women’s Day, which highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in our organization and the broader community.
Our commitment to gender diversity is reflected at all levels of our organization, including the Board of Directors. We are continuing to work towards achieving greater gender balance at all levels of our organization.
EMPOWERING YOUNG INNOVATORS
In early 2019, we introduced our Young Engineering Programme (YEP) aimed at attracting and retaining exceptional talent within our Group. This 12 to 24-month program offers young engineering graduates with leadership potential an ideal foundation for their careers, helping to strengthen our succession pipelines. In 2022, we further expanded our efforts by actively engaging with colleges and universities across Malaysia through targeted recruitment, participation in career fairs, delivering technical forum talks, and forging strategic partnerships.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
At Greatech, our social sustainability approach is to enforce community partnerships that focus on the local needs, supports the underprivileged and future generations which in return, create economic and social value, through a variety of social engagements and initiatives.
Our community programmes are managed locally and actively supported by varied projects in the areas of education and science, social initiatives, arts and culture, fitness and health, and ecology.
Our GreatCare Committee, launched in 2020 by our dedicated CSR Team, is a shining example of our commitment to social sustainability. This initiative encourages our employees to actively partner with local non-profits and community organisations to advance our social sustainability efforts and nurture social engagement.
We also exercise reasonable care in the selection of society projects before approving any donations. It is crucial for us that all of the contributions made reach the intended recipients. Essentially, we ensure our resources are diligently managed and distributed to the communities in need. We are passionate about supporting causes that align with our values and are committed to making a positive impact on the communities where we operate.
