Benefits and Welfare

The Group’s compensation structure includes fixed and variable

components depending on the employee’s job grade. We comply

strictly with rules and regulations stipulated by local governments

on minimum wages paid to employees.

Each location within the Group has its own locally defined

employee benefit schemes. For eligible employees, these include:

contributions to retirement fund;

medical benefits for outpatient, specialist and hospitalization

treatment for employees, spouse and eligible children;

group term life and personal accident insurance;

our Indonesian subsidiary, PTNJL provides free transportation

for the workers’ children to nearby local schools. There is also

a clinic and crèche at the estate to cater to the needs of the

plantation staff and workers. The provision of these facilities

has enabled women to join PTNJL’s workforce; and

provision of housing together with clean water and sanitation

to our plantation workers.

While we emphasise the importance for our employees to be

well-versed in the Group’s current development and achievement

status, we also recognise the importance of bringing excitement

and fun elements for our employees’ participation. Sports

activities and events such as family days, weekend retreats, and

festive gatherings are organised with the aim to foster greater

bonding and camaraderie amongst employees which in turn

helps improve engagement at work.
