EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
HR4U Week
The HR4U Week returned this year with a focus on
development, engagement, fun, health, welfare and well-being.
A series of activities were lined up for staff including the
Fix-A-Meal Challenge, Guess a Colleague, blood donation drive,
flash mob performance, talks with topics ranging from personal
branding advice to medical insurance, demos, as well as a mini
bazaar. Around 35 exhibitors participated in the event.
Monash Expatriate Group
With staff hailing from more than 35 countries, the University
supports a diverse expatriate community. Our expatriate staff
were invited for a monthly lunch to stay connected, while the
Monash Expat Spouse Hub gathered their spouses regularly to
socialise and welcome new members to the group. A visit to
Kuala Selangor was also organised with 58 expatriate staff and
their families participating in the day trip.
Ethics and professional conduct myDevelopment
As part of the University’s continuous efforts to support a culture of
respect, we rolled out a series of talks on ethics and professional
conduct at the workplace. Over 400 staff members participated
and deliberated on ethics, discrimination, sexual harassment,
bullying and behaviour expectations in the working environment. This year, we introduced an online Learning Management
System called myDevelopment that contributes and supports
staff development. The system offers a wide range of
development opportunities including online courses, learning
materials and face-to-face training programs.
Festive celebrations
In a country defined by its diverse ethnicities and religions, it is a beloved Malaysian tradition to come together and
celebrate the various cultural festivals throughout the year. Good food, dance, fun and games, and camaraderie marked
the Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Christmas festivities for our staff.
