Management Trainee Development Programme (MTDP)
Social: Labour Practices and Decent Work
The MTDP attracts and develops executive-level talent as
part of the Group’s succession plans. We provide trainees
with 12 months of structured training in core corporate
functions and specialised functions at various Business
Divisions.
The MTDP supports CMS’ long-term strategy to build and
maintain high-quality technical and non-technical skill
sets that are critical to the organisation. The programme
also addresses manpower gaps resulting from business
growth and natural attrition such as resignations and
retirement.
Upon completion of the MTDP, the trainees are assessed
on their overall performance. Their respective mentors
also consider behavioural and technical competencies
before considering them for employment.
Out of 434 applications, nineteen people were selected
as MTDP trainees in 2016. Twenty-two participants from
the first two MTDP batches were recruited as employees.

SUCCESSION PLANNING
Succession planning is essential to ensure business
sustainability and long-term growth. This approach
is seen as necessary to help CMS meet its long-term
sustainable growth objective.
Management conducts succession planning annually and
focuses on:
• Creating a talent pool for critical positions;
• Devising a customised development and mentoring
programme for potential successors;
• Monitoring the performance of potential successors;
• Annual mentoring through a one-to-one interview
with the Group Managing Director on the availability
of potential successors;
• Setting a timeframe for potential successors to fill
critical positions; and
• Alternative options to support the succession plans.
