Professor Darma commended the staff for their astuteness towards the development and work productivity and said, “we live in a constantly changing world, and to avoid being left behind, it is important for us to constantly evolve with international best practices.”

“For example, the nature of work is constantly changing, and jobs have shifted across sectors on a massive scale. In addition to this, many jobs are being automated and millions of people around the world are now either working from home on a full-time or hybrid basis.”
