Talent management is exercised throughout the employment lifecycle to identify, nurture and retain top talents through continuous enhancement of their competencies, capabilities and skills in a manner that is aligned to FGV’s changing needs and objectives. One of the key measures in talent management is continuous learning opportunities afforded to our workforce. FGV continuously invests in learning and development programmes to ensure we have a professional and high performing workforce, more significantly to meet our workforce’s aspirations for continuing professional and personal growth and development. Despite the constraint of the current Covid-19 situation, FGV still managed to conduct and organise several physical and online programmes for our employees and these are in addition to the public programmes and seminars that our employees attended. Some of our formal flagship learning and development programmes are listed below: FGV Leadership Competencies and Feedback & Coaching for Managers This programme is specially designed for FGV’s Managers, Senior Managers, General Managers and Senior General Managers with the objective of developing the new generation of FGV leaders into Leaders of Leaders. The programme embeds the FGV Leadership Competencies Framework as well as a feedback and coaching culture. No further sessions were conducted in 2021 as the aim was to cover employees at the Senior General Manager to Executive level only, and this was accomplished in 2020. The participants of the 2020 programme were able and expected to apply the learnings gained during the performance management cycle from year 2020 onwards, thus creating a performance management feedback and coaching culture.
