Top Glove Quality News Mind Your Language! English writing class “Write It Right, Say it Correctly” kicks off Staff’s Chidren’s Academic Excellence Award The Staff’s Children’s Academic Excellence Award was introduced in 2013, as an internal CSR programme under the TG Foundation, underscoring Top Glove’s commitment to employee welfare, as well as the importance of education. While the immediate aim was to reward young students for sincere efforts and diligence in their academic pursuits, an even broader goal was surely to inspire its recipients to continue improving and striving for excellence, even beyond academia. Lack the confidence to use English in everyday situations? Keen to improve your English grammar, vocabulary and communication skills? Help is at hand. In fact, it’s literally at your doorstep. English writing classes “Write It Right, Say it Correctly” are now being held at F10 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6.15pm to 7.15pm. Conducted by proficient trainer, Chern from Learning & Development, the 3-month course is filled with exciting activities and assignments, all aimed at helping you communicate with confidence and clarity (while ensuring you never feel bored or tired, even after a hard day’s work). The ceremony for the 2nd Staff’s Children’s Academic Excellence Award this year saw 24 students receiving their awards for achievements in their UPSR, PMS, SPM and STPM examinations. Each child walked away with a Certificate of Excellence and MPH book vouchers ranging from RM 50 to RM 400, depending on the level of examination and the number of A’s scored. The half-day event also included brief remarks by Tan Sri and Mr CG Lim, both of whom imparted wise counsel to the young scholars, a factory tour and culminated in a makan session. But don’t take our word for it. Read what the pioneer batch of students had to say: “Interesting class! I will continue to attend the next class. See ya”. “Awesome class!” “Fun!” Have some questions on the course? Keen to sign up for our next intake? Reach out to Chern at EXT 718. We daresay this event helped drive home the importance of doing one’s best and that hard work would eventually pay off handsomely for many-a-staff’s children. Rachel was transferred from HR to L&D early in her career at Top Glove and loves every minute of her time there. It allows her to focus on the one thing she simply can’t get enough of – learning. And the people she meets in the course of work, with their varied life experiences and inspiring stories, are the best way for her to do so. Pg 16
