Advice to Senior Management

best reasons to work at Maybank

Pros

Excellent pro family policies, Winner of the TAFEP Exemplary Employer Award, highly encourages work life balance, strong focus on retaining and development of staffs.

Cons

Remuneration is below market standards as a foreign bank in Singapore, strong focus on retention of staff also means that rotten staffs are often kept in the pack, relatively backwards in term of technology and processes, some of the HR policies are simply too rigid.

Advice to Senior Management

While its important that you show that you value staff, the bank should also weed out rotten apples or non performers in order to stay competitive. Rapid technology advancement no matter what cost is also essential in order not to lack behind others. The effects of these two major problems have far more widespread effects that are not limited to what i have just mentioned. Lastly, the management should also convey their thoughts wisely and tactfully to their staffs. It is insulting when "someone" bluntly announce to the whole lot of new staffs that there isn't a need to pay us so well cause what we want is attention and hence by giving us attention will suffice.
