AIRPORT’S CORNER Cambodia Airports – Medical Centre, Safety Campaign, Health at Work, Airports Academy By Cambodia Airports
Inauguration Ceremony of Airport Medical Centre
Being healthy and safe is key to creating a friendly working environment, to boosting comfort of employees, and to limiting exposure to accident. Starting in 2015, Cambodia Airports partnered with International SOS for the operation of the Airport Infirmary (or Airport Medical Center – AMC) at Phnom Penh International Airport. In March 2017, a new stage opened with the full upgrade of the Airport Infirmary facilities. Operated by medical professionals of International SOS, the AMC is available in the airport’s premises and offer firstclass services to more than 4,200 beneficiary employees and their family members under the company’s healthcare program. With a strong focus on healthcare, the AMC contributes to a safe and healthy workplace in order for employees to remain healthy and in good shape. It will also provide diagnoses and medicines, build awareness on medical prevention, and first aid trainings. At the launch of the facilities, Doctor Philippe GUIBERT, Regional Medical Director for International SOS, says: ‘’We understand that Cambodia Airports has a strong commitment to the welfare of their employees and their families. Healthcare is no exception and the opening of the new clinic testifies to that pledge.’’

Road Safety Campaign 2017
In Cambodia, road accidents are a major cause of fatalities: 2,231 casualties in 2015 according to the Asia Injury Prevention report. 6 people are killed and 15 more are seriously injured every day. Young people under 29 years accounted for 50% of deaths and only 13% of motorcyclist fatalities were wearing helmet. Employees at Cambodia Airports have had their share of road accidents. That is why the company has addressed the issue and implemented in early 2017 the Road Safety trainings across all departments. It focused on the theme “One Helmet Saves One Life”. The program was carried-out by Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) and stressed on the following items: • Educating on psychophysiology of driving • Volunteer sharing on incident of their relatives, friends or beloved ones. • Personal instruction and evaluation of driving behavior • Recognize standard tools; type of helmet, vehicle blind spot and other road safety awareness Following the road safety trainings, the company empowers employees to practice the new norms on making sure everyone is always wearing helmets and carefully commuting on the streets. It also provided 1,650 high quality helmets to employees.
Management team of Cambodia Airports distributed helmets to all employees of Phnom Penh, Siem reap and Sohanouk Ville International Airports.
Cambodia Airports’ employee commit to respect traffic laws and commute with safety helmets to reduce traffic accidents.

VINCI Airports Academy, New E-Learning Platform
Late 2016, Cambodia Airports implemented a new e-learning management system, called Vinci Airports Academy “VAA”. This e-learning platform is a customized system providing different courses and manages training records. The internet-based feature allows trainer and trainee to access the training module with just one click. Simply put, the internal trainer logs into the platform as administrator and assigns a specific training course to the trainee. Trainees can therefore learn online at a time convenient to their availability. Access to courses is by using PC, Tablet and Smart phone. Prior to VAA, trainers needed to bring trainees to the training center to the detriment of their work time. The Vinci Airports Academy “VAA” has a feature allowing the management of training e-report. It is paperless and trainers are no longer required to print materials in paper as all information (worksheet, certification…) is stored in the system. At the end of the course, the trainer could generate a quick report consisting of trainee’s attendance, learning progress and test results.

HR Committee Second Vice Chair Elected Pursuant to the correspondence voting concluded on 30 April 2017, Ms. Florence Chung, Executive Director, Human Resources and Administration, Airport Authority Hong Kong has been elected to the position of Second Vice Chair of HR Committee for a two-year term, with effect from 1 May 2017.
Interview with HR Committee Second Vice Chair
You have been working for utility companies and property developer before. How do you find working in the aviation industry? It’s truly challenging and exciting, particular when Hong Kong International Airport is expanding into a Three-Runway System (3RS). I feel very privileged to be able to work for Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) at this important time to contribute to the largest infrastructure development project in Hong Kong to strengthen our status as an international aviation hub and to support the economic growth of Hong Kong. What’s your biggest challenges so far, and how do you deal with them? There are indeed lots of challenges, among which how to attract and retain talent and to build a corporate culture for the sustainable growth of the airport are of paramount importance. Last year with our resourcing strategy clearly mapped out, we were able to fill over 280 positions for our 3RS and other capital works projects in a cost-effective manner. We have also redesigned our Management Trainee Programme to strengthen our talent pipeline. To better attract and retain talents we need to continue to strengthen our employer brand. We have revised our Vision, Mission, and Values statements to ensure alignment across the organization, and designed and implemented various culture promotion initiatives including Work Improvement Programme for frontline colleagues, new communication platforms for different levels of staff, and a revamped Corporate Recognition Programme to promote an appreciation culture within AAHK etc., just to name a few.

Can you share with us your most unforgettable project after joining AAHK? That would be the setting up of the Airport Preschool for children of airport staff, which is beyond the normal scope of HR responsibilities. Unlike other organizations, my role here is not just to take care of a workforce of 2,000 employees in AAHK, but to help create a better working place for 73,000 staff working in the airport island. I am very grateful for the great team work and support from various departments, without which it would be mission impossible to obtain the necessary license within a short timeframe enabling the Airport Preschool to commence operation in March this year.

You must be very busy in your role. What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy travelling and hiking, particularly the latter. Hong Kong is famous for hiking trails and I just found it so relaxing to chit-chat with friends while enjoying the beautiful scenery. I am glad that my colleagues also enjoy this activity which is indeed a good team building exercise outside office.

What is your immediate focus for your role as the 2nd Vice Chair of the HR Committee? Working closely with Justina (Chair) and Sue (First Vice Chair) as well as the ACI Regional Office, I aim at organizing a comprehensive programme on areas of common interests for our HR Committee members at the upcoming annual meeting in Seoul. I would also like to make full use of this opportunity to talk to each colleague face-to-face to better understand their challenges. Together we would make the HR Committee an even better platform for experience sharing and knowledge transfer. July 2017 ACI Asia-Pacific HR Bulletin – Issue 13
