Recognition

To ensure the firm continues to pay fairly and competitively in the market, we embarked on a salary review process with fixed pay (salary) adjustment done in July 2022 and January 2023.

To cater to the evolving needs of our employees amidst the changes in work patterns caused by the pandemic, we expanded flexBenefits claims to cover work-from-home essentials (e.g. work furniture and computer accessories) and COVID-19 health support (oximeter and RTK self-test kit).

In September 2022, we further extended the claims period from four weeks to eight weeks to provide a longer timeframe for submission.

Prior to the recent Employment Act (EA) amendments (effective Jan 2023), the firm has been providing  90 days of maternity leave since 2013 instead of the previously legislated 60 days.

While the new EA amendments require employers to grant 98 days of maternity leave, the firm has further extended paid maternity leave to 120 days, where a part of it can be flexed throughout the first year after maternity to be utilised for post-natal check-ups or vaccinations for instance.

With wellbeing as a key priority for the firm, the option to claim for CT for those who do not qualify for overtime claims has been maintained despite the higher base salary for many post the salary adjustment exercise. 

This ensures that our people are recognised for the additional hours that may be required to meet the needs of our clients and that they will continue to be provided the opportunity to take time off for their wellbeing needs.

Aside from monetary rewards, we also provided and enhanced some non-monetary benefits for our people:

• Paid half-day leave for employees to travel back to vote in Malaysia’s 15th General Election.

• Continuance of flexSpace Reimagined to provide our people with the flexibility needed at work.
