At Boustead, we continue to recognise the importance of our human capital and the role our people play in the overall success of the Company.

Human capital development remains our core priority as we recognise that competent employees form the foundation and backbone of our successful conglomerate. To attract the best talents, we offer competitive remuneration package and provide career development opportunities and career advancements to all our employees, irrespective of levels and positions. The underlying tone for our entire human capital development efforts is built on the foundation of achieving a 'culture of excellence.'

We continuously provide our employees with training and development opportunities to ensure that they reach their fullest potential. Development programmes are designed and selected to enhance six important competencies namely personal, motivational, leadership, management, interpersonal and intellectual competencies.

Our primary objective is to create a productive corporate culture that is embraced by all. In order to create this culture, every employee is required to assume personal leadership in their respective positions. Our flagship programme on leveraging this personal leadership further is the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® conducted by external as well as our own certified '7 Habits' in-house facilitators.

In addition to the personal development and self-enhancement training programmes, skills and technical training programmes are also given equal emphasis to ensure that our people remain technically skilled, proficient and ready to meet the challenges ahead.

As part of the Group's goal to discover new talents, we have in place the Management Trainee Programme which was first introduced in 1993. The Management Trainee Programme is made up of the General Management Trainee Programme and Accountant Trainee Programme. Our General Management Trainee Programme caters for qualified graduates to work in the various business and operating units within the Group whilst the Accountant Trainee programme caters specifically for accounting graduates seeking to pursue either the MICPA, CIMA or the ICAEW ACA professional qualifications.

Through both programmes, the Group hopes to identify and retain the best talents and groom them to assume bigger roles and responsibilities within the Group. Todate, our Management Trainee Programme has produced and groomed many leaders for the Group.

As a responsible employer, the Group also has taken the steps to ensure that we are able to provide a conducive working environment for our employees. This includes ensuring that our health and safety policies are in place and continuously practised. On-going awareness and training programmes are conducted as a means to ensure that our employees are adequately informed of their respective roles in ensuring that the workplace remains safe and conducive for all.
