MT 2023 Onboarding - Humility, Agility, and Maturity as the Key Factors to Success
The MT Batch 3 Onboarding event was attended by APP Sinar Mas Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Marcus L. Budimulia, Head of APP Academy Norman Firmansyah, and Head of HRHQ & COE HRBP International Branch Deniece Chan Pai Eng.
When opening the event, Marcus Budimulia conveyed his message to the MT Batch 3 participants.
"For a Management Trainee at APP Sinar Mas, it is crucial to apply Humility, Agility, and Maturity (HAM) when embarking on their career journey here," conveyed Marcus Budimulia to the MTs.
Humility, Agility, and Maturity are the main assets for employees to develop themselves, personally and professionally.
With Humility, a person will realize their role as social creatures that need other people, therefore they will try to build harmonious relationships and maintain good teamwork. Humility also motivates individuals to learn and are open to critics and inputs from others.
Agility includes a person’s ability to think, solve problems, and creativity that help them in completing various jobs in various situations deftly.
Meanwhile, Maturity in work is a person's ability to appreciate various backgrounds and situations that exist in the work environment. With Maturity, a person will make judgments based on consensus supported by facts, not emotions or instincts.
Two Insightful, Informative, and Educative Weeks
The MT Onboarding activity is a moment to prepare future leaders of APP Sinar Mas. Therefore, for two weeks (August 1-11, 2023), the MT participants have undergone an induction about work culture at APP Sinar Mas, various work functions within the company, product knowledge, and the production process of pulp & paper making. All participants had the opportunity to learn from experts in their respective fields.
Not only that, the MTs also participated in the Outdoor Experiential Learning that took place at Talaga Cikeas, Sentul. All MTs participated in various games and fun activities that strengthened team bonding, which is hoped to continue into the work environment.
