50 Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad Annual Report 2021 Our Sustainability Approach About This Report We Are Kenanga Message From Chairman and GMD Caring for Employee Wellbeing We adopt a comprehensive approach to caring for our employees, holistically supporting their health and wellbeing. Through the Tengku Noor Zakiah Staff Outreach Fund, which was established to provide financial aid to employees in need, slightly over RM78,850 was disbursed in 2021 to 12 employees impacted by flood as well as to one who was impacted by critical illness. With the ongoing threat of the pandemic, we maintained a consistent 70:30 split between employees WFH and those working in the office (“WIO”). Moving forward, we also plan to integrate mental wellness as part of our overall employee wellbeing programme. Supporting Employee Welfare • We kept our employees updated on information related to the Government Prihatin packages. • We extended monthly financial assistance, amounting to RM325,000 to non-executive employees of the lowerincome range. • We extended meal provisions to those who were required to work in the office. Monitoring, Tracking and Updates • Since the start of the pandemic, we have maintained a daily dashboard that details our WFH ratio, split operations arrangements, employee movement/travel, quarantine tracking and contact tracing. • We also disseminate regular updates and reminders to employees on COVID-19 developments and SOPs. Adhering to SOPs • We have maintained a strict and rigorous sanitisation schedule for Kenanga’s headquarters and all its branches nationwide. Additionally, we have enforced the following: - On-premise temperature screening - On-premise visitor declaration - Mandatory wearing of face masks - Distribution of hand sanitisers, face masks and self-test kits - Overseas and interstate travel monitoring - Contact tracing - COVID-19 cases follow-ups Supporting Employees During The Pandemic Grievance Mechanism The Group Disciplinary Policy, which includes guidelines in handling misconduct of employees also covers the procedures in responding to grievances from employees relating to their employment. In 2021, zero grievance cases were reported.
