Pillar Underpinnings
The Nurturing People Pillar
details our approach in
developing skilled talent both
for the Axiata Group as well as
for the countries in which we
operate.
Our inclusive talent development initiatives
ensure that we secure our leadership
succession plan and that skilled professionals
staff our operations. The Axiata Young Talent
Programme (AYTP) together with other
OpCo initiatives, meanwhile, are focused
on developing future CEOs and leaders in
the region by offering young talents unique
training and learning opportunities.
The ‘4i’ Aspects of the Pillar
Our initiatives under this Pillar are described
through the ‘4i’ Aspects:
Our
initiatives
introduce
improvements to the welfare and
development of our employees,
as well as to the level of education
and training of the youth in our
communities
