KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 16): Nearly 700 companies from various sectors have been acknowledged by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and Ministry of Human Resources as shared prosperity organisations as at Feb 12.
To this end, these companies received the e-Shared Prosperity Organisation (eSPO) Acknowledgement Certificate (e-certificate) issued by Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) which is driving the campaign to encourage more companies to join the ranks.
MPC has noted that the take-up rate among construction companies in particular, is still low, at only 47, and is urging more in the sector to claim the acknowledgement.
This is because through eSPO, the companies could attract more locals to work in the construction business, hence reducing the reliance on foreign workers, said director-general Datuk Abdul Latif Abu Seman.
