12 Team No one walks alone at Keppel O&M The latest additions to the Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) family were given an insight to the organisation’s structure, heritage, practices and policies during the Keppel O&M corporate orientation on 21 December 2007. Mr Choo Chiau Beng, Chairman & CEO of Keppel O&M, together with senior managers were present to welcome the new employees and answer their questions during the orientation. Building camaraderie amongst new employees while helping them integrate with the organisation is of highest priority Into its 17th run since its inception in March 2006, the orientation allows new Keppelites to get acquainted with each other and also helps to integrate them into the organisation. The programme has benefitted more than 700 employees who joined the company. “It’s like going to school on the first day and not knowing anyone. It can be quite overwhelming as Keppel O&M is a huge organisation. Through the orientation, new members know that they are not alone and that the management actively engages employees at all levels. Their mentors are also introduced to them during these sessions,” explained Cindy Lim, Keppel O&M’s Senior HR Manager, whose department is the facilitator for the orientation. At each orientation session, a veteran Keppelite is invited to share an inspirational job experience with the new employees. The speaker this time was Leow Ban Tat, Senior Marketing Manager of Keppel FELS. Not only did he speak about the overseas experiences and career opportunities he had in his more than four years with Keppel, he also shared his principles for personal success, urging everyone to balance the 3 Ps, namely, Patience, Perseverance and Politeness. keppelite Core Values goes to Bintan As part of the Core Values coaching programme, Keppel O&M Group HR conducted a teambuilding workshop for subsidiary Bintan Offshore’s 78 employees on 13 and 14 December 2007. Applying a series of specially-designed teambuilding activities, the workshop helped build staff motivation, loyalty and team spirit by spreading the Group’s core values with employees. Launched on 8 August 2002, Keppel O&M’s Core Values is an important tool for sharpening employees’ focus on company’s goals. This was followed by the introduction of the Core Values icons on 6 November 2006 which have been well-received in both Singapore and overseas yards. Keppelite I January 2008
