Our long service awards are part of our employee appreciation mechanisms in recognising and rewarding employees’ work contributions through their years of service with the company. Employee Engagement Survey This year, the non-executives employees from three ILF business units, namely QL Farms Sdn. Bhd., QL Breeder Farm Sdn. Bhd. and QL Poultry Farms Sdn. Bhd. took part in employee engagement survey which is carried out for the first time in November 2022. 571 non-executive (58.0%) employees participated in the survey. The overall engagement score of 95% was achieved from all participating employees. In conclusion, the survey’s findings gave management suggestions for how to promote employee engagement in the areas of tools and resources, employees’ wellbeing and recognition. As for the MPM business pillar, the first pilot employee engagement survey was carried out in QL Foods Sdn. Bhd. from 26 September 2022 to 15 November 2022.

We collaborate with governmental and non-governmental organisations to recruit local workers to join us at the worker level of the talent sourcing process. We work with a number of colleges and universities to fill our talent needs for assistant, supervisor, executive, and specialist technical roles. We formalised our partnership with academic institutions by signing Memorandum of Understanding based on shared understandings of cooperation between the two sides, which demonstrates our efforts to acquire talents. We also take the opportunity to take part in many events that academic institutions host, such as career fairs, career seminars, factory visits, sponsoring awards for top students, taking part in research projects for students and so on.
