Group, understand the responsibilities of their new role, the

culture of our business and the processes they need to follow

as well as our expectations for ethical conduct. They were also

provided with the Employee Handbook before, or as soon as they

start their new job. The Handbook provides new employees with

information about their conditions of employment as well as the

standards of professional behaviour expected.

We also encourage our people to look beyond their experiences

and current practices by undertaking job rotation and overseas

assignments for exposure in different markets. Where headcount

reductions are necessary, affected employees are redeployed to

new job tasks where retraining and skill upgrading is provided to

help them transition into the new tasks.

SPOTLIGHT STORY

On the Job

Samsul Halimung

Currently a Mechanical Engineering Executive, 34-year-old Samsul

worked in PTNJL for 7 years before his transfer to International Food

Corporation Ltd (“IFC”) which is a subsidiary of KFima in 2016.

How does your role in PTNJL differ to the one in IFC?

In PTNJL, I handled all the maintenance work for machines and buildings, machine

fabrication, building of stores, elevator to transfer kernels to kernel silo tanks and tank oil. I

also repair and service vehicles, genset overhauling and turbine servicing.

In IFC, I coordinate workplans and develop and review staff reports related to engineering

activities.

I’ve also learnt, and am familiar with, the requirements of GMP, HACCP, SSOP, LACF and the

PNG Fisheries Standard Requirements.

What are the challenges you’ve encountered in IFC?

On the personal front, the greatest challenge would definitely be homesickness - being away frommy wife and family as I only

get to see them once a year. Workwise, there has been some challenges in supervising as well as coaching the local engineering

staff here but I consider that to be part and parcel of working life anywhere.

What has been some of your memorable moments in IFC so far?

I can speak English and understand PNG’s national language, Tok Pisin.

I have made many new friends from all over the world - Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Pakistan, to a name a few. My cooking skill

has improved tremendously and I can make really good fish curry! I also made it to the final round of a badminton tournament

for Lae in an open game.
