Leveraging on the unique strengths of both organisations, the collaboration will enable TM and PLC to jointly conduct mutually beneficial learning and development activities as well as other related areas which include:

a. the provisioning of specific learning programmes and solutions;

b. consultancy services in the design and development of learning intervention materials, programme evaluation, competency modeling, surveys and other learning and development works;

c. sharing of learning and training resources such as speakers, trainers, facilitators, experts and consultants as well facilities such as training venues;

d. organising joint learning and development activities such as learning programmes, seminars, workshops and human resource conferences.

Commenting on the collaboration, Dato’ Sri Dr Halim said, “TM has always placed a high level of commitment towards our human capital development and in providing our 27,000 strong workforce a workplace that fosters personal and professional development. As key assets, employees’ competencies are crucial in ensuring that TM remains competitive. In our effort to support employee career development, TM is always looking for new and different approaches to empower our staff. We provide various training programmes based on specific behavioural and functional competencies modules. TM is glad that today we are entering into this collaboration with Petronas Leadership Centre for joint human capital development initiatives and we believe that this will mutually benefit us in gaining world-class knowledge and resources in producing highly skilled and capable employees.”

“We are also happy to note that this collaboration sees the co-operation between two major GLCs which portrays our support of the Government’s aspirations of producing highly-skilled nation while at the same time further strengthening the relationship between GLCs,” added Dato’ Sri Dr. Halim.

In sharing his thoughts about the collaboration, Md Arif Mahmood said, "PETRONAS leaders have been developed internally. Over the years we have been able to provide the right development content and create opportunities for our people to develop as they progress through the leadership pipeline. Their transition from one leadership position to another is carefully managed, supported by appropriate learning interventions. This is without doubt the formula that brings PETRONAS from just managing the country's natural resources to become a renowned global company."

”To accelerate our learning curve, we have always believed in collaborations that support human capital development. As such over the years we have grown significantly through a learning and sharing process, by collaborating with like-minded strategic partners. These collaborations have enabled us to develop our people as high-performing, global professionals in the oil and gas industry," he added.

PLC has expanded its market to enable both Oil & Gas and Non-Oil & Gas players to have access to its leadership development programmes. The collaboration with TM through capacity building, life-long learning and training initiatives will be the catalyst in the strengthening of human capital development for both TM and PLC. This will not only improve the performance and productivity of the employees of both organisations, but will also prepare the workforce to step up its competency and embrace a high-performing work culture.
