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

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.
