In FY2025, SAMEE Group implemented mandatory training in areas such as EHS compliance, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, emergency preparedness, and digital transformation, including ERP system training. Soft skills modules covering critical thinking, innovation awareness, and stakeholder management were also rolled out through SAM University.
To ensure training effectiveness and alignment with organisational goals, we conducted an annual Training Needs Analysis (“TNA”) to identify skills gaps and refine development plans. These insights informed the rollout of targeted programmes such as new hire induction, cross-functional learning, and leadership development tracks that support integration, progression, and mobility. All training activities are tracked through our internal learning management system, providing full visibility into learning outcomes, participation, and compliance.
Through these initiatives, SAMEE Group is committed to cultivating a high-performing, future-ready workforce capable of driving sustainable growth and operational excellence.
In FY2025, SAMEE Group reinforced its commitment to employee learning and development through structured training programmes implemented across all job categories and operational sites in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. These efforts are integral to enhancing workforce competencies, supporting operational excellence, and preparing the Group for long-term organisational resilience.
Employee upskilling initiatives were categorised into two core areas: OJT, and technical capability building. Soft skills training focused on strengthening leadership capability, critical thinking, and innovation awareness. Courses such as Developing a Critical Thinking Mindset, Managing Project Stakeholders, and Business Innovation Foundations were delivered via our digital learning portal, enabling employees to engage with high-quality content at their own pace.
OJT programmes were delivered to direct labour (“DL”) roles and new hires, targeting role-specific skills, cross-functional exposure, and mentoring. These sessions were led by HOD to ensure relevance and alignment with operational needs and career development goals.
All training programmes were tracked using our internal learning management system, which ensures visibility, monitors progress, and supports continuous improvement in learning outcomes. Through these initiatives, SAMEE Group continues to invest in building a capable, agile, and future-ready workforce.
Key highlights include:
At SAMEE Group, we believe that our success is built on the character, capability, and mindset of our people. As part of our ongoing commitment to personal growth and organisational excellence, SAMEE Group launched the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People™” Cultural Transformation.
This reaffirms the leadership’s unwavering commitment to shaping a purpose-led, and principle-centred organisation. The programme aims to embed timeless leadership habits at every level of the organisation, transforming not only how we work, but how we lead ourselves and others.
A few of our senior management volunteered to be Train-the-Trainer (“TTT”) facilitators, whose dedication and leadership have been instrumental in cascading the 7 Habits across the Group. Their contribution ensures that the programme is not just a one-time initiative, but a sustained cultural shift that touches every employee, every day.
SAMEE is committed to continuous learning and professional growth for all employees. Each year, a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is conducted to identify skill gaps based on industry trends, regulatory changes, and organizational goals.
Training is delivered through in-house programs, public courses, virtual platforms, e-learning, and on-the-job training (OJT). In FY2025, employees received an average of 41 training hours per person, equivalent to 1.7 training days. Key training areas include leadership development, safety and health management, productivity and quality improvement, computer skills, finance management, supply chain management, and personal effectiveness.
By combining internal expertise with external trainers, SAMEE ensures employees gain up-to-date knowledge, practical skills, and the confidence to contribute effectively to the company’s growth and sustainability.
