Mencast’s philosophy of “hiring for attitude and training for skill” helps to set the positive behaviour for the staff. The company believes that the right behaviour results in a good system on Process and Cost Management, Standard Operating Procedures and Operational Efficiency to reach the direction or strategy it has set out for itself. The company believes a positive work-life balance is a vital ingredient to producing enthusiastic, successful, productive and loyal employees and an important element of talent management.

Frequent social events also keep employees interacting socially. These events include dinner and dance events, golf event, CSR events and appreciation meals. They strive for excellence and have fun at the same time.

The top three things Mencast’s employees value about the company are that it seeks solutions (meaningful job), provides opportunities to upgrade their skills (career and personal development), and that everyone looks out for one another (teamwork and connection).

Another factor that pulls everyone together is the Group’s CSR program, the two focus areas of which are Children & Development and Environmental Sustainability. These reach out to a broad range of stakeholders with the aim of integrating CSR into the company’s core business processes and operating as a socially responsible corporate citizen. “Our CSR plan is reviewed annually to align with the interests of targeted stakeholders and achieve active corporate citizenship. In the process, we hope to contribute and support the community with a focus on life transformation and charitable causes for the less fortunate,” explained Mr. Glenndle Sim, Executive Chairman of Mencast.
