BEHAVIOURAL INSIGHTS (BI) APPROACH CAN INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC SERVICE DELIVERY - KSN26/3/2021 PETALING JAYA, March 24 (Bernama) -- The National Conference on Behavioural Insights (BI) with the theme "Spearheading Efficient Public Policy Delivery" was officiated by Tan Sri Mohd Zuki bin Ali, Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) on 23 March 2021. The virtual conference was organised by Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC).
The conference, which was attended by more than 2,000 participants from the public and private sectors, has achieved its objective in providing an in-depth understanding on the approach of Behavioural Insights (BI) in public policy to increase the efficiency of policy and regulatory delivery. The approach of BI delves into human behaviour and its root in developing a policy. It is a systematic approach in which any formulated intervention in the policy goes through an experimental phase and detailed data collection before being enforced. Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN), Tan Sri Mohd Zuki bin Ali, in his opening remarks said, "One of the government’s affirmative efforts is to improve policies and regulatory delivery for businesses to restart, sustain, and expand their operations. Developing quality policies and improving the existing rules and regulations are the means to pursue this purpose." He added, "Behavioural Insights (BI) in the formulation of public policy has been widely used around the world and its application has led to high regulatory compliance. The application of the principles resulted in policies which are easily accepted by the people, while at the same time ease the burden of regulations and reduce government operating costs and use of resources.” Tan Sri Mohd Zuki also launched ‘#MyLatihanMaya’, a Behavioural Insights Online Training Portal during the conference. Since 2020, MPC has been mandated to drive the initiative in exploring the potential of BI approach in policy making. MPC Director General, Dato’ Abdul Latif bin Haji Abu Seman said, “Moving forward, MPC has designed a 5-year roadmap of Behavioural Insights in public policy as one of the agendas in 12th Malaysia Plan 2021 – 2025. In materialising this, MPC shall continue to collaborate with the relevant ministries, government bodies, and private sectors." About Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) is a statutory body under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). MPC promotes productivity, quality and competitiveness to the industries and organisations in Malaysia. MPC's vision is to be the leading organisation in productivity enhancement for global competitiveness and innovation. Released by MALAYSIA PRODUCTIVITY CORPORATION SOURCE : Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT: Name:Huda Atiqah Samsir Tel: 0137261950 Email: [email protected] --BERNAMA KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 (Bernama) -- It’s been over a year since the pandemic appeared and its effects are still being seen in every sector and industry worldwide. Lockdowns, movement control orders, and other initiatives to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus has severely impacted businesses, especially those dealing with food. Facility shutdowns, supply and production delays and disruptions in logistics have affected each stage of the food supply chain, from farm to table.
What’s more, consumer habits and attitudes have changed dramatically towards food consumption and safety. Facing a two-pronged battle, the food industry is tackling a never before seen challenge to keep meeting their production goals and customer demands. How the pandemic has affected the food industry Delays and Disruptions in Production and Distribution With multiple lockdowns, strict social distancing and safety SOPs, the business operations of businesses has undoubtedly been affected. This has caused a myriad of problems. First, with the implementation of social distancing, the workforce is essentially reduced from full capacity to potentially less than 30% of the workforce. Hence, a shortage in manpower which has resulted in production loss. Furthermore, strict district/border crossing regulations have caused transportation costs to rise, as well as increase holding times in warehouses, ports and docks. Not only do companies have to bear further costs, but the longer their products are held, the higher the risk of a pest infestation. With the lower production and loss of goods due to pests, food retailers will in turn be affected, finding difficulty in obtaining goods, especially fresh produce to meet their customer demands. Changing Consumer Habits Consumers have also been severely impacted by the pandemic, and certain behaviours have been noted to increase during these times. The trend of home cooking/baking has seen a rise, as restaurants were closed or only open for takeaway and options were limited to those nearby. Hence, the demand for fresh produce increased as more people were actively spending more time in the kitchen preparing meals. Not only that but consumers were paying more attention to food production, origins as well as food safety as a whole, and gravitated towards trusted brands while avoiding brands who came into the limelight due to unsanitary food production practices. How businesses have coped Different businesses faced different issues, hence many solutions and initiatives were taken to help businesses stay afloat while still meeting customer demands. Some diversified and expanded product listings, while others looked at alternative sourcing of raw materials. However, the key change that occurred was many businesses reevaluated their operations and many reinvested their resources into remote technology and machinery to reduce the reliance on manpower. Companies looked into the adoption of new digital technologies, balanced workforce as well as improved on efficiency. How Rentokil can help Rentokil has not only been a leading pest control operator in Malaysia for over 50 years, they have been proud diamond sponsors of the Global Food Safety Initiative.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 (Bernama) -- Citi Malaysia’s commitment to diversity and inclusion isn’t just merely ticking the box. It is about championing gender equality, driving economic progress for women and enhancing Citi Women’s network connectivity. It is creating awareness, championing education, and acting on it to bring about change. Citi led that change with the recent appointment of Jane Fraser, the first female CEO of a global bank. Globally, to achieve progress towards gender pay equity, Citi has set representation goals to increase representation of women in senior roles. By the end of 2021, Citi will improve representation of women in Assistant Vice President (AVP) to Managing Director (MD) level roles to at least 40% globally. In Asia, 50 % of Citi’s workforce are female. In Malaysia, over 64% of Citi’s employees are women and 64.7% sit with the CEO on the bank’s senior management committee. Citi is focusing on attracting talent, development and retention and ensuring a path to promotion. In conjunction with this year’s International Women’s Day celebration, Citi Malaysia hosted its International Women’s Day Flagship event with a webinar session with Datuk Nicol David who was recently accorded The World’s Greatest Athlete of All Time. Datuk Nicol spoke to over 400 Citi Malaysia employees on The Strongest Mindset. At the IWD flagship event, CEO Citi Malaysia Usman Ahmed said, “Datuk Nicol’s talk titled The Strongest Mindset resonates well with year’s Choose to Challenge theme of breaking barriers and having a focused determination to excel and win. It calls for each one of us to adopt a proactive stance to collectively create an inclusive society. This is indeed timely for us at Citi as we champion excellence and build the bank of the future. There were valuable lessons for us today, relevant to what we do and how we can reframe our perspectives, show resilience and be our best.” “At Citi, we celebrate the achievement, leadership and tenacity of the women across our firm as well as in our community. We fully embrace a balanced gender diverse workforce and will continue to maintain a strong and diverse talent base at all levels, one that is inclusive and based on merit in support of a more equitable world.” He added. Speaking to Citi employees on gender biasness during the session, Datuk Nicol David said, “Even in sports, there’s bound to be some competition between women and men. At times, women have to push themselves a little further to gain the recognition they deserve. There’s still a lot of work to be done in terms of bridging the gender inequality gap and slowly but surely, we’re starting to see marked improvement. When both men and women unite and work together as one, there’s so much growth and impact that can be achieved in terms of getting the right recognition and opportunities.” “The one thing that motivated me to stay at the top was improvement. I did not stop at just being World No. 1, I made sure I kept on improving. I needed to be ready for anything that comes my way, and improvement was my only motivation and only focus right in front of me,” she added elaborating on her topic The Strongest Mindset. In Asia Pacific, Citi has diversity programs including Citi Women’s Leadership Development Program (CWLDP), ASCENT, Inspiring Women Leadership Program (IWLP) and the EDGE Program. These programs are focused on leveling the playing field in the development and career advancement of women talent at Citi. Although the programs have shifted to a virtual format amidst the pandemic, the level of investment, participation and energy remains high and demonstrates Citi’s commitment to increasing its pipeline of women leaders. Citi Malaysia is also active in championing and supporting employees having created a Women’s Network – the Diversity Advocates. Launched in 2017, Diversity Advocates is led by its sponsor, CEO Citi Malaysia Usman Ahmed. The network’s principal focus is to develop its women talent both professionally and personally and equip them with the skills and knowledge as well as network to help them grow with the organization. The Diversity Advocates champions Citi’s policies in support of gender equality as well as assist women colleagues through challenges and opportunities faced both at home and at the workplace through coaching, mentorships, and networking opportunities.
