The government is ready to consider allowing companies to resume full operations if all the workers have been fully vaccinated, said Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

The Prime Minister said the International Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti) is coordinating the Public-Private Partnership Covid-19 Industry Immunisation Programme (Pikas) as an incentive to companies and industries to use their premises as Vaccination Centres (PPVs) and conduct immunisation programmes for employees.

He said the government would be supplying the vaccines, while the company or factory would make the logistical arrangements.

“This cooperation is important to boost vaccination rates immediately so that the ongoing Covid-19 transmission in the workplace can be stopped and better controlled,” he said.

Muhyiddin said this while announcing the National People’s Well-Being and Economic Recovery Package (Pemulih) via a live telecast on Monday (June 28).

He added that RM150 mil will be allocated for the implementation of Pikas as well as to alleviate companies’ costs.

Meanwhile, employers registered under the Human Resources Development Corporation (HRD Corp) could use up to 10% of their remaining current levy for the cost of management and purchase of Covid-19 vaccines.

The government has also agreed to provide tax deductions on expenses encompassing the cost of equipment and services in setting up the PPVs by employers, he said.

Additionally, the tax deduction on Covid-19 contributions through community or charitable projects has also been extended to cover contributions to PPVs, he added.

I liked my work, especially the challenges pertaining to the job. The only thing I could not adapt to, was the boorish treatment meted out by our boss to his subordinates. Human beings tend to make mistakes, and being a trainee, I also made a mistake at work, and in the presence of all my colleagues, my boss shouted at me “Fu…….off”. Humiliated and depressed, I went to the locker room with flooded eyes. One of my colleagues advised me that this is very normal in this company, and even though a rude person, our manager is very good at heart. Due to my personal commitments, I decided to stay in the company until I get a new job. Though despised to the core, I continued to listen to unpleasant phrases from him. I do not...

Should Succession Plan be a secret?

Image
  There are many organizations and HR Heads who believe that the succession plan should always be kept confidential and divulging the succession planning process to concerned employees can affect the organization negatively. In many companies, the succession planning process is a mystery and promotions are a surprise.  Even today many management professionals believe that revealing the succession plan to employees can destabilize the organizational harmony and team spirit.
