Northport wins Investment in People Award

According to Northport’s managing director and CEO Dato’ Basheer Hassan Abdul Kader, the award is well deserved in light of Northport’s people-centric corporate culture. “Northport invests millions in employee development programmes. This is to ensure that our employees are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, knowledge and skills to perform better,” he said.

“We want to give opportunities to executives to equip themselves with knowledge to attain managerial positions and for non-executives to become executives. Our phenomenal growth in the last ten years is all made possible by our knowledgeable workforce. This has quadrupled our productivity and overall revenue of our port,” he added.

Apart from its employee development programmes, Northport is also known for its employee packages, which offer benefits from full medical coverage to personal loans. Its workforce of around 2,500 is also rewarded generously based on productivity and efficiency gains.
