INTRODUCTION
Led by Group Chief Executive and Managing Director, Professor Dato’ Michael Tio believes that that CSR begins at home and has built an business empire with many elements such as a full facility gym, a day care centre for staff to send their kids, lounges for staff to relax, management and company trips, a honesty corner, a spa and many more facilities that is created to further elevate the employees happiness and confidence.For instance, PKT’s innovative Anak Belajar Ibu Bekerja (ABIB) program is uniquely tailored in giving opportunity to housewives to work at their convenience. Career Days and Educational Tours for higher learning institutions are the elements that have created a very sustainable CSR program, with the belief that if you give a man fish you feed him for a day, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Other programs include Career Day for Facebook fans to come and seek job opportunities from our customers and clients with job matching done by our human resource team, and the Smart Trucker Program to motivate fresh graduates to work 4 years as a trucker with wages ranging from RM4000 to RM5000 with career progression guaranteed after the 4 years.
