  • Unleashing Talent in the Digital Era: Powerful Insights from Choh Yau Meng, VP of Human Resources at Huawei Malaysia – 2024

    Unleashing Talent in the Digital Era: Powerful Insights from Choh Yau Meng, VP of Human Resources at Huawei Malaysia – 2024

    The landscape of work is evolving rapidly, with predictions indicating that digital job opportunities worldwide will rise from 73 million to 92 million by 2030. As technology continues to advance at a breakneck pace, digital skills have become the new currency in today’s job market.

    In this dynamic environment, the definition of valuable talent has shifted significantly. No longer can a mere paper qualification alone determine a candidate’s value. Instead, we are entering an era where an intelligent, interconnected world demands high-caliber talent with innovative ideas and technological prowess. Companies of all sizes are increasingly seeking individuals with interdisciplinary skills who can drive future advancements.

    Lifelong Learning

    At Huawei, our strength lies in our people. Our recruitment process rigorously assesses candidates beyond their academic qualifications. Once onboard, employees are paired with mentors and introduced to the company’s core values and culture.

    Retention is just as critical as recruitment. Over the years, Huawei has earned a reputation as a top employer not only for how we support our employees but also for our commitment to growing alongside them. We are honored to have been recognized as Malaysia’s Most Preferred Employer in the Electronics category by the GRADUAN Brand Awards for two consecutive years. Additionally, we are among the top choices for graduates in the Talentbank Graduates’ Choice Awards 2024 and have received accolades in the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2023 and HR Asia Digital Transformation Awards 2023.

    We are committed to continuous learning. All Huawei employees are required to complete a specified number of hours annually on our MOOC platform, “iLearning,” which offers a range of courses from soft skills to professional technical training. This platform, featuring content from Huawei employees, renowned professors, and industry experts, serves as a comprehensive learning, training, and examination resource.

    We also strive to contribute to the broader community by fostering local talent. Through our 39 ICT Academies in collaboration with Malaysian higher education institutions, we provide training in Huawei’s ICT technologies, encourage certification, and develop practical skills for the ICT industry. Under the Huawei ASEAN Academy, we have surpassed our goal of training 50,000 digital talents in Malaysia by 2025, having already developed 54,000 talents.

    Malaysia: Aiming to Become ASEAN’s Digital Hub

    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the shift towards digital transformation, both in Malaysia and globally. Malaysia is well-positioned to become a regional leader in the digital economy, thanks to its multicultural and highly educated workforce, high literacy rates, balanced gender ratios, and a strong pipeline of young talent.

    To establish itself as a leading talent destination, Malaysia must focus on nurturing and retaining talent. Bridging the gap between required skills and market demand is essential, making academia-industry partnerships vital for aligning educational outcomes with industry needs.

    Creating an environment conducive to talent growth is crucial for Malaysia to become the region’s “digital tiger.” Success for organizations depends on cultivating a thriving workforce, and for nations, industries powered by skilled individuals are a major strength.

    Digital transformation is no longer optional; it is imperative. Technology itself won’t replace jobs; rather, it is those who can effectively harness this technology who will drive change.

    At Huawei, we started by enhancing talent within our own organization and have extended these efforts beyond our company. We have built partnerships, set talent standards, and promoted skill development to create robust educational, industry, and public talent ecosystems. Together, we can strengthen this ecosystem and advance Malaysia’s position as ASEAN’s digital and talent capital.

  • ReadyCare Signature Melancarkan Produk Penjagaan Bayi Berasaskan Tumbuhan: Solusi Pembersihan Lembut, Selamat, dan Mesra Alam untuk Ibu Bapa – 2024

    ReadyCare Signature Melancarkan Produk Penjagaan Bayi Berasaskan Tumbuhan: Solusi Pembersihan Lembut, Selamat, dan Mesra Alam untuk Ibu Bapa – 2024

    ReadyCare Signature, jenama perintis dalam produk pembersihan berasaskan bio di Malaysia, dengan bangganya memperkenalkan barisan terbaru produk Baby Care mereka. Produk-produk ini menawarkan ibu bapa pilihan penjagaan kebersihan bayi yang selamat dan mesra alam.

    Barisan produk terbaru ini termasuk Baby Bottle & Utensil Cleaner, Baby Laundry Detergent, dan Baby Sanitizer Spray. Semua produk ini diformulasikan dengan bahan berasaskan tumbuhan (bio) untuk menggantikan bahan kimia berasaskan fosil, memberikan alternatif yang lebih selamat dan mesra alam.

    Kajian menunjukkan bahawa bayi dan kanak-kanak kecil lebih terdedah kepada toksin dari persekitaran mereka. Menurut Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) pada tahun 2022, kanak-kanak di bawah lima tahun terdedah kepada tahap pencemar yang lebih tinggi, yang boleh menyebabkan masalah tumbesaran, pernafasan, dan isu kesihatan lain. Permintaan untuk produk yang tidak toksik dan selamat untuk bayi semakin meningkat, dengan pasaran penjagaan bayi global dijangka mencapai AS$206.68 bilion menjelang 2029, menurut laporan Research and Markets pada 2023.

    Dengan barisan produk Baby Care yang baru ini, ReadyCare Signature berkomitmen untuk menyediakan pilihan pembersihan yang lebih selamat dan lebih hijau untuk ibu bapa yang prihatin tentang kesihatan dan keselamatan anak-anak mereka.

    ReadyCare Signature adalah jenama Malaysia pertama yang telah memperoleh persijilan  berasaskan bio daripada Jabatan Pertanian Amerika Syarikat (USDA), dan barisan produk Baby  Care tersebut, sama seperti rangkaiannya yang lain, semua penawarannya turut mempunyai sijil Halal serta diperakui mesra vegan oleh Persatuan Vegan UK. 

    Pelancaran ini menangani kebimbangan yang semakin meningkat di kalangan ibu bapa mengenai  pendedahan bahan kimia, dengan menawarkan alternatif yang lebih selamat bagi melindungi  anak-anak mereka dan alam sekitar.  

    Pengasas dan Pengarah Urusan ReadyCare, Yeoh Eng Foo berkata, “Menurut garis panduan  Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia, kanak-kanak yang lebih terdedah kepada pendedahan bahan  kimia kerana organ dan sistem imun mereka masih belum berkembang sepenuhnya. Rangkaian  produk Baby Care kami direka dengan mengambil kira kebimbangan ini, memberikan pengalaman  yang berkesan, sihat dan lembut, yang boleh dipercayai oleh ibu bapa.” 

    Sempena pelancaran ini, ReadyCare Signature turut menandatangani Memorandum  Persefahaman (MOU) dengan Unifood International Pte Ltd bagi mengedarkan produknya di  Singapura. Kerjasama strategik ini akan membantu ReadyCare Signature memperluaskan jangkauannya dan menyediakan penyelesaian pembersihan mesra alam kepada lebih banyak  ramai lagi pengguna di seluruh rantau ini. 

    “Kerjasama dengan Unifood, sebuah syarikat yang berakar umbi dalam segmen perniagaan  makanan bernutrisi ‘on-the-go’, mewujudkan sinergi yang mantap dan selari dengan falsafah  kami di ReadyCare Signature. Kepakaran dan rangkaian mereka di Singapura akan membantu  kami memperluaskan penyelesaian pembersihan mesra alam kepada lebih banyak keluarga,  mengukuhkan lagi peranan kami sebagai Teman Kehidupan Bersih yang dipercayai,” tambah Yeoh. 

    Produk Baby Care ReadyCare Signature kini boleh didapati di kedai-kedai terpilih dan dalam talian  menerusi rcsignature.com.my, di mana pelanggan juga boleh memilih model langganan untuk  menerima produk kegemaran mereka.
