Maybank spending big to upskill non-clerical employees

Maybank group chief human capital officer Datuk Nora Manaf (pic) said the initiative was a key component of Maybank’s efforts to re-design its workplaces to adapt to an environment that was undergoing continuous change, particularly with the disruption brought about by digitalisation as well as the pandemic.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) has embarked on a nationwide programme costing about half a million ringgit to upskill over 360 of its non-clerical employees in the country to become “workplace enablers”.

Malaysia’s largest lender by assets said the eight-month training programme – believed to be the first in the country – would provide the non-clerical employees with new skills, which would enable them to accelerate their career progression and take on greater responsibilities.
