Our Employees

At Dialog, our corporate responsibility encompasses Human Resource practice ensuring that each function does not work independently of each other. Integrated human resource management and development in the organisation reflects our understanding of the need to walk the talk and that responsibility starts from your own doorstep. Dialog HR actively promotes engagement of the organisation and its stakeholders through well-managed programs, policies and practices, by focusing on communications, employee relations and health & safety.

Employee Engagement

The company takes into consideration employee opinion and ideas by means of a suggestion box scheme and companywide surveys. Employee surveys are conducted periodically to find out employee opinion with regard to a wide range of topics. The feedback received is presented to the management and results considered for planned operational changes. Divisional level staff meetings are held on a frequent basis too, for the dissemination of information both ways.

Health & Safety

It is the intention of Dialog, that the Company shall achieve the highest possible standards in the areas of Health & Safety Management. We follow relevant statutory provisions and all reasonable practicable measures to avoid risks to our employees or others who may be affected by our operations. As such, establishment of a Health & Safety policy and code ensures that a spectrum of issues related to the business ranging from fitness to work on towers, manual handling/loading, posturing, working with chemicals to motor vehicle care & safe driving are encompassed.

With the aim of maintaining awareness on Health and Safety practices at Dialog, all new recruits are briefed on all important aspects pertaining to Health & Safety at the induction programme. A Health & Safety committee comprising of members representing all divisions is formed to ensure a companywide approach.

This committee, comprising of over 35 members look into all Health & Safety aspects of the company, ensuring employees in all divisions within the company are covered.

Divisions are given a Risk score on a monthly basis taking into account Fire, Training & Awareness, Smoking, Work Environment, Electricity, First Aid, Maintenance and Work Stations.

Training & Education

Innovative leadership is essential in the dynamic communications market and is therefore one of our strategic objectives. We provide a host of training and development measures to continuously develop the know-how at every level of the organisation. In particular, this enables us to motivate our top performers and high potentials by offering them attractive prospects.

The Dialog Academy is a purpose built institution focusing on providing training and development assistance to Dialog and Business Partner Human Resources. The academy ensures that the competencies of frontline staff are constantly updated.

Development and succession plans prepared in collaboration with Divisional Heads act as a guide to determine the training requirement of individuals to upgrade their skills and competencies. Focused development programs are also conducted in order to improve the skills of high performing individuals and build leadership capacity for the future.
