workforce: how to attract, retain and empower
workers, and reimagine work itself.

Activating a future ready workforce – Digital Immersion
Upskilling to a digital democracy where everybody can affect change

Through Digital, Petronas aspires to be a data-driven organisation, adopting new ways of working to
deliver new value. SWITCH is the Digital immersion programme in Petronas that is enabling and
elevating digital mindsets, skills and capabilities across the organization. SWITCH introduces Digital in a
fun and interactive way through micro learning tools and gamification. As part of the programme, the
SWITCH Station – app and website – engage employees in lessons and challenges to learn more about
Digital and to test and develop their digital skills.
Highlighting Petronas’ commitment to becoming a data-driven organization, Petronas implemented the
Citizen Analytics programme in 2019, empowering employees with data analytics skillsets while
accelerating Petronas’ transition towards becoming a data-driven organisation. Participants are able
to apply the skills, tools and applications learnt to address business challenges and to use data to
discover new insights, to bring significant value to the industry.
The Petronas Digital Academy is also being established with the aim to drive digital adoption and
digital capability en masse. Petronas are looking at learning institutions and government agencies,
and trying to drive and propagate digital learning within Malaysia, beyond Petronas.

“We need to democratize digital within the whole group…the organization cannot just depend on one
digital transformation department or CTO. Rather, each individual must be able to affect change.”
