Addressing the gathering, under the theme “The Creative Marketing and Innovation in a Volatile Global Economy,” the National President of CIMG, Daniel Kasser
Tee stated that business leaders must work to rationalise their operations in the light of the current global economic suffering caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, in order to be able to preserve the interest of investors, employees and clients.
“As employers do this, we also expect employees to be very moderate in their demands. Employee associations and labour unions should also explore ways by which they can promote the interest of the employers in such challenging times,” he added.
Dr Tee explained that a clear understanding of the current economic condition and sincere negotiations between employers and employees would help to bring transparency to bear and make it possible for every public sector worker to see the profitability of their institutions.
