Employee Volunteerism
We encourage employees to make a
positive difference in the communities
around them. As at end of 2011, 574
Maxis’ volunteers clocked in 9,610
volunteer hours, a 284% increase
from 2,500 hours in 2010. Twenty-two
staff participated in a special training
programme to equip them to be
facilitators for Maxis Cyberkids Camp.
CREATING A GREAT PLACE TO
WORK
Consistent with our efforts to be a
high-performing organisation, we offer
employees access to a wide range of
learning opportunities to help them
achieve their full potential and strengthen
their ability to respond to change and
innovation.
We value diversity, because this ensures
that we are enriched by a wide variety
of skills, experiences and perspectives.
Our goal is to create a working culture
that is inclusive, one in which our people
share a deep sense of belonging and
understanding, and where talent is
appreciated. We believe this is pivotal
to boosting innovation, increasing
productivity and sharpening our
competitive edge. At the same time,
we promote employment of the local
workforce. As of 31 December 2011,
Maxis had 3,437 staff with 26 expatriates
and 3,411 Malaysian staff.
Communications and Engagement
We use a range of communications
channels to keep our people informed
and to understand how they feel
about how we can do things better.
These include eNEWS, our web-based
newsletter, the Idea Post forum and
face-to-face townhall sessions. Mail
Express and HR Express offer up-to-theminute
news updates. Voice of Maxis
is an annual survey to find out what
employees feel about their job, their
colleagues and level of engagement.
Learning and Capability
Development
We know that the only way to stay at the
forefront of innovation and service quality
is to improve the skills of our people.
Our people development programmes
are therefore targeted at developing
talent and raising capability levels across
the company and building skills that
will support our growth. We offer both
structured classroom training as well as
an e-Learning platform.
