Vijayabalan a/l Velu, Human Resource Manager, Malay-Sino
Chemical Industries Sdn Bhd (MSCI)
I started my career in August 1998 as a Human Resource Officer
at Hovid Berhad (pharmaceuticals industry). I was responsible
for all matters pertaining to recruitment and training.
During my time at Hovid, I'm particularly proud of my work
in implementing
psychology
|
|
tests for new recruits (below Officer level) and the implementation
of orientation training for those below Officer level.
In
December 2000, I was then offered the post of Administration/Personnel
Executive in Malay-Sino Chemical Industries Sdn Bhd (MSCI).
MSCI manufactures chlor-alkali products and is within the Chemical
Division of the Batu Kawan Berhad (BKB) Group. Here, I gained
valuable experience particularly in dealing with Industrial
Relations and Compensation & Benefits (C&B) issues.
I think that exposure has led to my being assigned subsequently,
to handle Collective Agreement (CA) matters not only within
MSCI but other companies within the Chemical Division.
Promoted
in January 2009 to Human Resource Manager, I am now responsible
for the entire Chemical Division of the BKB group and my focus
areas include professional and personal development of all
employees, the development of effective succession plans and
awareness raising among the employees on their roles and responsibilities.
