Doing the stall they also spoke and I I have I have also asked to the separate person and I conducted my separated skills and to change some necessary steps.

Understood. It sounds like you created a platform for open communication and recognition that involved both employees and senior management. This seems like a solid step. How did you measure the impact of these initiatives on employee satisfaction and performance?

But the employee is doing is doing employees doing good. Which means uh.

I already said it means which which is the major and important and one of the major and important issue is salary.

That we, that we we provide means with the.

Employees.

OK, that.

To speak with any, uh, it's an employee.

To do butter job and butter.

Skills to make UH brands as good.

I understand. It seems you focused heavily on addressing salary concerns and skill development to improve the performance of the branches. Let’s turn to a broader topic—how do you typically ensure compliance with employment regulations and best practices across the branches you managed?

I follow the mini program like uh.

Uh, basically I talked to the management and also I have separate UH-23 ideas, which means uh, employee, one to one meeting, staff contact meeting.

Particularly, uh, what reason is the major issue is uh, standing is we have, sorry, we have maintained 12/10 hours duty, 10 hours duty means we have to 10 hours we have to stand up morning 9:00 to evening 10:00. So it is the major one of the second, uh, second issue it means morning, end morning to till 9 till 9:10 PM.

You don't like that?

Got it. It seems you identified long working hours as another critical issue and raised it with management for consideration. Balancing operational needs with employee welfare can be challenging. Let’s now discuss performance management—how do you approach setting performance goals and evaluating employees effectively?

Uh, I have 4 branches to maintain employee record my employee recruitment, employee CPF registration work employee policies, employee grooming weekly, uh, weekly I'm going to stall visit weekly twice I'm going to stall visit in that meeting.

I see. You've been hands-on in managing employee grooming, addressing policy compliance, and resolving interpersonal issues among staff. This proactive oversight plays a big role in maintaining workplace harmony. How do you ensure you consistently measure and track progress in these performance and compliance areas?

If any problem I spoke, I separately spoke.

To the particular person, what are the major issue? Only salary or standing issue? I have to train up the particular person. Which means if for example if an employee come to an branch to work as a new newcomer, I have to train the person. What are the strategy? What are the process In the blinders? I have to check and check with particular employee. I have one, one have one big training.

Regarding the work process, what are the strategy? What are the rules and regulations working in the organization? I have to train up the particular person to work this better, better, more.
