Social - Talent Management & Well-Being | PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad (PCG)

Why It Matters

Our committed and talented employees are the ones driving PCG’s growth and strategies forward.

This is why it is essential for us to attract, develop and retain top-quality industry talent, and subsequently equip them with the right skills they need to thrive and drive productivity across our operations.

In an ever-changing business landscape, creating an inclusive, diverse and empowering work culture is also important to enhance efficiency, increase agility, enable better decision-making and improve our overall performance to future-proof our business.

Our Approach

We provide our employees at all levels with access to a variety of learning programmes and platforms.
We focus on leadership and technical competencies, guided by the PETRONAS Learning and Development Framework which is anchored on the principle of continuous learning.
We internalise the PETRONAS Employee Value Proposition (EVP) of Trust, Grow and Reward to attract new talents and retain the best ones.
We use a blended learning approach for our talent development programmes, including physical and virtual training, digital self-learning platforms, coaching, mentoring, as well as on-the-job training.
We also prioritise diversity and inclusion along with our employees’ overall well-being, as these are significant for talent retention as well as enhancing morale and fostering a conducive work environment.
