Ansell Malaysia participated in the Innovative Retention Strategy category, elaborating on our Company's initiatives in employee retention. Ansell believes that poor retention strategies may create a stressful working environment. Additionally, high employee turnover increases expenses and has a negative effect on company morale. Hence, Ansell strives to create principles that encourage employees to excel as well as to maintain a high motivational level in their work behavior, setting an example for other employees in the organization.

Some of Ansell's retention strategies that were mentioned in the submission are:

• Ansell introduced Global Onboarding Passport program for New Hires
• An emphasis on career development through ongoing training and education assistance
• Opportunities to build leadership skills
• Rewarding employee creativity through the global Innovative Awards
• Recognizing and developing good talent by exposing these employees to short-term and long-term international assignments
• We offer employees a competitive Benefit Plan
• We support work/life balance and provide flexible work hours and telecommuting alternatives
• We love to hear from our employees and value their feedback
• We connect our employees through multiple high-end communication technologies
• We inspire diversity

Implementing an employee retention program is an effective way of making sure key workers remain employed while maintaining high job performance and productivity.
