The Malaysian economy consists of almost 99% of SMEs where they contribute 38.3% of the country's GDP, 66% of the country's employment, and around 17.3% of Malaysia's exports. The bulk of the companies — around 89.2% — are involved in the services sector (Sep 25, 2019, Source: BNM).
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event that no one saw coming. Moreover, no single businesses were ready to handle or absorb the shocks presented by the awful tragedy. Right now, the best thing businesses, especially SMEs can do now is to learn from the outcome of their past efforts, improve on their business and financial strategies, build resilience, and gain the support from the stakeholders.
In this 5-day course, the learners will be able to learn and apply some practical approaches and strategies in keeping their businesses going in face of the new normal at the workplace, and an increasingly challenging business environment. Each modular learning session provide the learners with strategies, techniques and tools that are current.
