MITEC launches initiative to nurture local staff

The Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) has launched a Continuing Personal Development (CPD) programme at the end of May for full-time staff.

Through this programme, every full-time staff will have a budget allocated for both internal and external training, as well as overseas exposure, where applicable.

Such trainings will go a long way in upgrading an individual’s skills and retaining personel

Staff will be able to choose programmes that will advance their career development. In addition, attendance at such programmes will contribute to their job performance appraisal.

Rohizat Baharum, director of Human Resource at MITEC, said the programme will not only help staff upgrade their skill sets, but it will also keep them motivated and their morale high within the organisation. He believes that providing staff with training opportunities will also help to build staff loyalty and retention.

He added: “Today’s young employees expect companies to provide them with training.”

More than half of MITEC’s 74 full-time staff are millennials, where the average age of employees is 32.
