The employee experience Cim continues to show its engagement in strengthening the foundation of culture and engagement to focus on the employee experience holistically in terms of employee satisfaction, engagement, wellness and alignment. Diverse programs related to and in support of employee well-being and work life/balance have been developed and implemented, driven by the WeCare committee, under HR, an employee ‘long years of service recognition’ get-together, end of year party 2017 and cultural events celebrating diversity.  Occupational safety and health and fitness at work initiatives remained priorities for 2018. The workplace platform (Facebook in workplace) has been a fantastic collaborative tool, greatly optimised this year, to enable top down communication across all Cim offices, counters, and knowledge sharing in this era of change within the business, specifically regarding HR transformation initiatives, building and maintaining a culture of innovation, sharing, engagement and a sense of purpose. In 2018 Cim Finance Ltd embarked upon a journey where HR started applying the consumer and digital lens to the HR function, setting the scene to creating employee experience that mirrors the best customer experience.  In this context, the revamping of Cimple Life has been a major milestone in achieving this objective.  This unique financial wellness benefit was promoted to all employees through a newly branded website, roadshows to reach all counters and offices on the island, with the service available through a mobile app, with the rationale to uplift the lifestyle of each and every one providing assistance, express delivery, discounted deals and saving opportunities.   Gender in the workplace Cim has always been committed and is still dedicated to promoting a balanced gender distribution in the workplace, promoting women’s full development at all levels, for instance at management level. Selected Cim female leaders and female team members were given the opportunity to attend a workshop by Hawa Charfaray, a renowned International Corporate Trainer and Global Speaker about empowering women, giving them the tools to embody the qualities of leadership in displaying active, creative and integrative efforts in achieving success at all levels, personal, professional and national.
