At the core of the Company’s people agenda lies the focus on Happiness, which is intrinsic at the RPG Group and at KEC, leading to the launch of the Group’s new brand tagline – Hello Happiness, few years ago. With Happiness being the focal point, supported by RPG Group’s Vision, Values and Capability tenets, we are enabling a performance-driven environment that encourages learning, transformation, and growth across the organisation.
