Whilst we build a better world and continue to serve our community, it is important for us to ensure safety
through self-responsibility. As the COVID-19 virus is not fully eradicated and is still present in community
globally, self-governance and adherence to safety and hygiene SOPs are critical for continued business
sustainability. Combating COVID-19 is a shared responsibility – we all need to work together, adopting good
safety, health and hygiene practices as our next normal.
This ‘Safety & Health Measures in the New Maybank High-Performance Workplace’ handbook aims to provide
guidance on our new way of working as we continue to lead and operate in the various communities.
