JKW Teambuilding 2010 (Value-Based Teambuilding)

As most of you might have heard, we will be having our teambuilding from 23rd to 25th of April 2010. That’s 3 weeks from now! So, we humbly plead all of you to block your diaries to ensure each and every one of us will be able to attend the teambuilding together.

The committee has taken into account all the comments and feedback given for the past 2 teambuilding sessions. We promise that this year’s teambuilding will be different! Firstly, it will be a value based teambuilding. Wondering why it is called value based??

Well, it means the activities are specifically tailored to promote the internalization process of the Department’s new values (i-CODES) as well as the Bank’s core shared values (i-ACTED). The activities will be group-centered and customized to demonstrate specific values from i-CODES and i-ACTED. It will not be too physically demanding, yet will be enjoyable to the diversified demographic groups in JKW.

Secondly, great emphasize has been given to ensure this year’s session will be as comfortable as possible. The committee has tried to get the best venue with reasonably nice rooms and amenities (which, of course, within the approved budget limit). The standard for the rooms and amenities has been set at quite a high level by the management as most comments from past years’ teambuilding revolves around the accommodation issue.

After much debate and careful consideration, JKW management has agreed that this year’s teambuilding to be held at Klana Resort Seremban. There are a few things that we can guarantee for this year’s session:

1. You will not have to wash your own plate!
2. Somebody from room service department will make your room. Also, your towels will be replaced every day! (Go green and you can reuse your towel…)
3. The bathroom will be clean and working!

Pictures from our site visit can be viewed below or you could go to http://www.klanaresort.com.my/ to have some idea on how the place looks like.

Meanwhile, the teambuilding activities will be conducted by Dr. Salleh Koyakoti from SD Institute. Having engaged by more than 10 departments in the Bank and handle various HCDC courses, Dr Salleh is no stranger to the Bank Negara Malaysia. His track records are impeccable and he is highly recommended by our colleagues from other departments who have utilized his expertise.

If you wish to treat your families to a weekend holiday in Seremban, we have made arrangement with the resort for a special rate. Rates for spouse and family members will be advised later. This special arrangement could be useful for staffs who cannot afford to be away from their families due to certain constraint/commitment such as ‘feeding’ or single mothers, families without maid, etc.

If you have any concern or queries, please feel free to discuss this with any of the committee members (please refer below for the names of the committee members).

Also, please return to this blog for more updates and information on not only the teambuilding, but also other activities planned by the members of the Taskforce on Internalising JKW’s Mission and Values. Stay tune!

Bulan Integriti

Assalamulaikum and a very good day to all,

Do you know that March is 'Bulan Integriti' for our department? One of the various programmes planned for the year by the Taskforce on 'Internalising JKW's Mission and Values' is to organise a campaign on each of the values each month, starting with INTEGRITY.

So what is Integrity? Apparently, it is a big word and could take up a lot of meanings. Hence, to kick-off the 'Bulan Integriti', we will bombard your mail box with some definitions and examples of what integrity could mean - starting with this one!

Some good examples on "Integrity":-

- Acknowledging mistakes and not looking for scapegoats
- Behaving in a consistent manner towards bosses, colleagues and subordinates
- Respecting commitments and being true to one's word

Let's internalise it together!!!!!!!!!!!
