Companies may also monitor human resources recruitment to prevent corruption. As part of Kimia Farma Group, PT Kimia Farma Trading & Distribution (KFTD) has been doing this with a system called SMAP/ABMS (Sistem Manajemen Anti Penyuapan or Anti Bribery Management System).
Some preventative measures against corruption must start with HR (human resources) recruitment. This is how a company like KFTD should eliminate the potential for any acts of gratification or fraudulency. The process is clear, but that does not mean it is also easy.
The Feasibility Test in the HR Recruitment in KFTD
The feasibility test in the HR recruitment in KFTD includes:
-
The pre-hiring evaluation.
Before hiring the candidate as an employee, the pre-hiring evaluation includes checking if the candidate has been involved in bribery. The same evaluation occurs before the staff is rotated, transferred to another branch, or promoted to a higher position.
-
The regular review.
Regular reviews assess performance targets, facilities received, and other incentives for mitigating bribery. These reviews are occasionally used to guide the recruits’ track records.Â
If the employee consistently prevents bribery and corruption, their contract is renewed annually.
-
The integrity pact.
An integrity pact must be developed to ensure compliance with the anti-bribery policy. Periodically, employees must complete and sign it as a sign of their goodwill in upholding good corporate governance in the company.
This pact is the most important part of the feasibility test. The employees must remember never to commit any acts of bribery or corruption, even if they are just the receivers. They must report any attempt at gratification.
This is how HR recruitment in KFTD is transparent and corruption-free. Hopefully, this system will continue to help KFTD prevent bribery and corruption in the company.
