7-Eleven Malaysia Partners with Perkeso for 'Return to Work' Program

7-Eleven Malaysia is collaborating with the Social Security Organization (Perkeso) to launch a "Return to Work" (RTW) program, providing opportunities for insured individuals to re-enter the job market. This partnership aims to assist those who have been unable to work by offering them a pathway back to employment.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between 7-Eleven Malaysia and Perkeso will grant program participants access to pre-employment training and practical workplace exposure. Crucially, it opens the door for potential employment within 7-Eleven's extensive network of over 2,700 retail stores across the country.

We have over 2,700 retail store networks spread across residential and community areas nationwide.

Tan Sri Mohd. Annuar Zaini, Chairman of 7-Eleven Malaysia, expressed confidence in the brand's suitability for this initiative. He highlighted the company's widespread presence in residential and community areas and noted that its shift-based work system offers flexibility beneficial for individuals undergoing recovery processes.

The first group of participants is expected to join the program before the end of the year. Mohd. Annuar also conveyed his ambition for the program's expansion, envisioning it encompassing more participants, locations, and potentially other employers. The program is designed to expose participants to real work environments, covering aspects like customer service, product management, and daily operations.
