Empowering Our Employees in the times of COVID-19 Prior to the Movement Control Order in March, FGV successfully implemented numerous programmes on Leadership Competencies and Effective Feedback & Coaching. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered face-to-face training, and these courses were conducted in a combination of online and physical sessions. The primary challenge was the delay in equipping employees with a variety of of technical and soft skills. However, we conducted webinars whenever possible. Moving forward, FGV is exploring proposals for e-learning for all employees. For 2021, we will continue enhancing the Annual Training Plan but the delivery of programmes will depend on Government directives.
