12th June 2020 - Although many of us are still working-from-home amidst the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the working spirit at idsMED Malaysia is still very much lively as it does not stop us from doing our best while we are at work.
Most Malaysians are back to work during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) implemented by the government. With that in mind, the management has taken proper steps in adhering to the Disease Control and Prevention measures which includes temperature-taking, mask-wearing, surface disinfecting, hand sanitizing and social distancing.
As we are adjusting to ‘The New Normal’, the MD’s Townhall was conducted in-office on the 12th June 2020. As the distanced sittings can only accommodate up to 50 people in the hall, some of us tuned to the MD’s Townhall session via MS Teams.
The MD’s Townhall was spearheaded by our Senior Director, Mr. Ainul Hasnizam to update on the Financial Overview for year 2020 and The Way Forward for Operational Excellence within our company. The Operational Excellence was presented with Four (4) Pillars: Trusted Partnership/Collaboration, Product Branding & Positioning, Operational Excellence and Customer Service Improvement.
These initiatives were carefully crafted to ensure the business goals are aligned and met, improved communication with the stakeholders, better working flow, improved customer experience and further business expansions.
The Analysis and Summary of the Pulse Survey were then presented by our Managing Director (MD) Dr. Adzuan Rahman. This initiative was conducted by Mr. Shawn Ling from the HR Team to gauge the employees’ satisfaction, productivity and overall working attitude. The management was very pleased to find that most of the questions scored above the 80% mark.
Moving forward, IT Manager Ms. Vivian Cheng highlighted on the technological updates that the IT Department is working on to further improve and upgrade our technological needs.
Shawn shared the HR Initiatives that he has been working for the benefits of the staff in idsMED Malaysia.

Then it was time for the Raya competition winners’ announcement. Since we are still adjusting to ‘The New Normal’, our Raya celebration was held in a new manner too. This year’s Raya that was held on the 5th June 2020 was conducted via MS Teams and packed lunch was provided thereafter.
