Flexi-Time
Flexi-time was introduced to help employees balance
their work and personal lives as the Company
recognises that happy employees are more productive
and efficient. The system allows employees flexible
working hours as long as they fulfil the requisite
eight hours with the core hours between 9.30 a.m.
to 4.30 p.m. Flexi-time has benefited many of our
employees in terms of managing their time at work
and their personal lives and will be continued.
Healthy Living and Employee Engagement
The well-being and wellness of our people is important
to us and we take conscious steps to encourage
healthy living and exercise regularly. Health talks
are regularly conducted to encourage employees to
lead a healthy lifestyle while our ‘Fruit of the Month’
Our Commitment to Workplace Best Practices
initiative involves the provision of different types of
fruit every month to all our employees across the
country to encourage healthy eating. The Sports Club
is one such platform, which is also good for social
interaction and recreational activities.
In June 2010, we held the nature-themed ‘Young
Seedlings Day’ for our employees’ children to
coincide with the school holidays. Many activities
were lined up for the children throughout the day,
which included a tree-planting exercise and teaching
the kids to appreciate nature.
Festive celebrations to celebrate Deepavali, Hari
Raya and Chinese New Year, along with the Annual
Dinner meanwhile, help foster stronger ties with our
employees and their families.
In 2010, we organised for the first time, HR Services
Day where we had a one-stop service centre for
employees, offering health and medical check ups,
financial planning services and, income tax advice
and services.
Total Productive Management
Our Total Productive Management (TPM) programme
- now in its fifth year - continues its instrumental
role to boost and enhance the Company’s overall
performance. To ensure there is buy-in across
the board, structured TPM training modules have
been rolled out for all employees in Supply Chain.
Familiarisation and educational trips to other
breweries and manufacturing facilities have also
been carried out.

We are passionate about our employees being given every opportunity to reach their
full potential. We want our people to have careers with us. In their career journey, each
employee has a career development plan encompassing training and development, to
encourage and enable their growth. We believe that our passion for developing people
will enable us to attract and retain top Malaysian talent and that this will have a direct
and very positive benefit on our company’s performance.
We are building a pipeline of new talent through a Management Trainee programme.
This programme complements existing talent development initiatives already in the
organisation.
We believe that a fair day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay. We benchmark ourselves against a peer
group of international and local Malaysia based FMCG businesses and aim to always remunerate at
or above the median range of this group. Furthermore we encourage and reward over-delivery through
formal and informal incentive programmes. We strive towards being one of the top paymasters.
We believe that people produce their best results when provided a great
environment in which to work.
We provide a great working environment in GAB, ensuring our work spaces
are ones that we are proud of. We ensure we have competitive employee
benefits and we actively encourage a healthy work life balance for all staff.
We believe that great communication is vital to both great team work and great performance. We encourage open,
honest and direct two way communication at all times. Our senior managers are role models for this and we work
hard to create connections for everyone in the business and opportunities for all to have their say.
We believe that our values give us our identity and are the cornerstones
upon which our relationships are built. We work tirelessly to ensure that our
actions are always consistent with our values.
We continue to improve the way we work by increasing efficiencies within
business units through fostering more teamwork, enhancing focus on our
core competencies, aligning manpower requirements and streamlining our
policies to the ever-changing needs of the organisation.
We believe in treating others as we ourselves would like to be treated. As
such we ensure that all GAB employees are treated fairly and reasonably.
We appraise performance objectively and everyone knows how they are
rated. Our employment policies, terms and conditions and grievance and
disciplinary procedures are fair, clear and balanced. Furthermore we ensure
that opportunities to progress in the organisation are given to employees,
independent of race or gender.
