Local Hiring
As we are committed to the development of the local
infrastructure and economy of Sarawak in all aspects,
employing Sarawakians continues to be a priority in the
Group’s employment drive. This endeavour is evident
in CMS as 97% of employees hired in 2016 were from
Sarawak. If we are unable to recruit locally, other
Malaysians are considered before we look further afield.

Diversity in the Workforce
Sarawak is famous for its multi-cultural and close-knit
society.With a variety of ethnic groups and at least 40 sub-
ethnic groups, each with its own distinct language, culture
and lifestyle, Sarawak is not only tolerant of diversity, but
embraces it. Being a home-grown company of the State,
we hope to embody the same spirit and perspectives
when it comes to supporting a diversified workforce. We
continue to drive a work culture that values the unique
perspectives and contributions of every employee, thus
ensuring that we attract and retain a talented workforce
that contributes to the Group’s success.
