80 2024 Annual Report Transport International Holdings Limited SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Comprehensive Benefits Package To attract and retain top talent, the Company offers a competitive benefits package that addresses the needs of our employees and their families. This package includes annual leave, medical benefits covering hospitalisation and accidents and free bus travel for staff and dependents. These benefits are designed to support our employees in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Occupational Safety and Health In order to continuously improve health and safety of our staff and nurture a positive safety culture, we encourage our staff to share recommendations for improvements in health and safety by holding regular health and safety meetings. All staff are protected from any discrimination based on their speech in these meetings. We continuously promote health and safety awareness among our staff by regularly distributing health and safety publications and broadcasting related videos to enhance their knowledge and encourage active participation. We have also organised a health and safety competition to motivate our staff to deepen their understanding of occupational health and safety. To maintain a safe working environment for our staff, we have established a workplace inspection programme focused on health and safety, aiming to eliminate substandard conditions across our facilities. Health and Wellness Initiatives Our commitment to the health and well-being of our employees is evident through our annual “Health and Well-being Month” and other year-round initiatives. In October 2024, we successfully organised Health and Well-being Month for staff, dependents, and retirees, focusing on four key pillars: physical, mental, social, and financial well-being. Initiatives included a Depot Health Experience Day, onsite flu and pneumococcal vaccinations, health talks on acupuncture point massage and financial well-being, a workshop on in-body composition, alignment and posture check-ups, and the distribution of health gifts to our staff members. One of the highlights of the month was the “Run with KMB 2024” running competition, aimed at promoting and enhancing overall well-being. Recognising the importance of mental health, our Employee Assistance Programme (“EAP”) offers 24-hour emotional support, short-term counselling, and referrals to mental health professionals. Furthermore, we have fostered a respectful and positive work environment by encouraging active listening, promoting help-seeking behaviours and facilitating the early identification of mental distress. We ensure timely access to treatment when needed, empowering our staff to prioritise their mental health. We have also arranged annual medical check-ups for all new bus captains and for existing bus captains aged 50 or above, totalling approximately 6,300 check-ups. This proactive measure demonstrates our commitment to both staff well-being and public safety by ensuring the fitness of our vehicle operators. Run with KMB is held again to encourage employees to engage in physical activities, promoting a healthy work-life balance KMB and LWB organise the annual Health Month, featuring health seminars and booths to promote the physical and mental well- being of staff
