To ensure that our senior leaders are
upskilled in contemporary thinking on
executive management, we sent three
SLT members to the Stanford Executive
Programme and two to the Harvard
Advanced Management programme.
In order to ensure role fit at senior
management, we introduced
Leadership Profiling Assessment for
new recruitments as well as promotions
to these levels.
Customised Benefits and Sharing
Our Growth
In addition to paying competitive salaries
benchmarked against the market, Maxis
offers employees a comprehensive
benefits package. We allow employees
to customise their own benefits package
using a benefit points system. This
allows employees to tailor benefits to
their needs as they go through different
stages and priorities in their lives. Being
our brand ambassadors, employees are
eligible to purchase a range of the latest
devices offered by Maxis at a preferred
price and also receive voice and data
rebates for their Maxis lines.
We launched our performance-based
Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS)
in 2011. Our ESOS is designed for eight
years with five grants awarded from
2011 to 2015. To reinforce the right
behaviour and culture, we link this
reward programme to both the Company
and individual performance. Our
scheme enables the employee to jointly
participate in long-term wealth creation
via sustained performance.
Engaging Employees Through
Continuous Communications
We have created a workplace which
provides a balance between a meaningful
and challenging career path and learning
opportunities and an energising work
environment. We have made a concerted
effort to unlock the highest levels of
performance and productivity and
ensured that our employees understand
and are aligned to the Company’s
aspirations and committed to its success.
Our employee engagement is about
creating opportunities for our employees
to connect with the management. Our
senior leaders engage with employees
regularly to share information and build
camaraderie across the organisation
through various events such as town
halls and Managers’ Communication
Sessions. An electronic newsletter keeps
our people in all corners of the country
updated on Maxis activities and events.
Engagement levels and employee
satisfaction are measured through the
Voice of Maxis survey. Conducted annually
by a leading independent consultant,
the survey provides valuable feedback
about what our employees need, what
motivates them and how best we can
address critical issues and gaps. As a
result, we have maintained high levels of
engagement each year compared to both
local Malaysian companies and global
telecommunication companies.
The health and well-being of our
employees are important to us, and we
encourage them to participate in the
company’s organised sports and recreation
activities. We host regular recreational
activities including nature walks, white
water rafting, fishing excursions, and
even cooking classes. In 2011, wellness
initiatives included a nationwide health
screening and risk assessment for
employees, which is the kick-off to our
newly unveiled wellness programme.
Every year we organise nationwide events
such as the “Maxis Got Talent!” singing
competition and the “Maxis V-Challenge
Regional Competition”, to encourage
teamwork and nurture a conducive and
vibrant working environment. In honour
of the supportive spouses and children of
our employees, Family Day and Treasure
Hunts are just a sample of activities
organised specially for employees to
enjoy with their families.
