Enriching work culture

NUMBERS and awards are typical yardsticks of a corporate’s success, yet it is the many employees who are the heart and soul of a company.

For Mah Sing, its workforce is its biggest asset.

“It is a challenge to scout for good talent. We want the cream of the crop to have Mah Sing at the top of their list when they want to apply for a job in the property industry,” says Tan Sri Datuk Seri Leong Hoy Kum, group managing director and group chief executive for Mah Sing Group Bhd.

As testament to the company’s pursuit to source and groom world- class talents, Mah Sing was awarded Malaysia’s Best Employer Brand Awards for two consecutive years; the HR Asia for Best Companies to Work For In Asia 2013; the Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards 2015 – Investment in People; and the Asia HRD Awards 2014 for Contribution to the Society.

However, every company is like a ship – the captain not only has to be strategic in making decisions, he must inspire his crew especially when bracing a storm.

“The description of a good leader is to be driven, passionate and disciplined. I always emphasise to my team that change is constant and through change you can constantly improve and learn new things,” says Leong.

“I am proud to say that these are the values my team practises. Hence, we are able to adapt quickly and constantly innovate our products to meet the needs of the market,” he adds.

Mah Sing understands the significance of human capital in the group, hence it is committed to nurturing a diverse, versatile and dedicated talent pool for its growth and development.
