We would like to congratulate our corporate partner Siemens on the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Selangor state government (SUK Selangor) and Selangor Technical Skills Development Centre (STDC) to develop a comprehensive training ecosystem for Industry 4.0 skills.

The partnership will be supporting the Inisiatif Kemahiran Teknikal dan Ikthtisas Smart Selangor (IKTISASS) programme, as well as areas knowledge transfer to increase lecturer capabilities on Siemens solutions and technology, to further and explore opportunities for companies embarking on the Industry 4.0 journey by providing upskilling, reskilling and consulting with business owners, and to promote the latest technology and digitalisation topics to SMEs and MNCs.

We’d like to congratulate our corporate partner Standard Chartered for becoming the first financial institution in Malaysia to secure the Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE) certification – a renowned global business standard for gender equality, validating the Bank’s commitment to creating a gender-equitable workplace. 

A job well done to Standard Chartered for this great achievement. We here at EUROCHAM Malaysia are profoundly moved by this achievement and proud of Standard Chartered for its journey to foster an inclusive workplace for employees regardless of gender. 

On behalf of the Malaysian Danish Business Council (MDaBC), EUROCHAM Malaysia would like to invite our members to participate in the upcoming webinar on the topic of Flexibility the Post-Pandemic Work? – Choice of Work: Working from Home or Returning Back to the Office? will be held on Wednesday, 10 November 2021 from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM.

As the Covid-19 pandemic is coming under control across Malaysia, an increasing number of employees are faced with the choice of whether to return to the office. Employers will eventually have to decide how long and in what form they would allow work from home.

Malaysian employees believe flexibility is the answer to their needs - productivity, engagement, and a stress-free environment. Thus, beyond an attractive perk, workplace/schedule flexibility will be a default requirement post-pandemic. A survey conducted by Ipsos shows that one-third (1/3) of respondents are not ready to be back in the office and an equal number cannot wait to get out of home since the pandemic forced many to work from home.
