The core values of AKHLAK that were agreed upon last year should be implemented not just as a concept but also to actually transform human capital
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy for Human Resources, Technology and Information at the State-owned Enterprises Ministry Tedi Bharata stressed the importance of culture in achieving company targets.

"The core values of AKHLAK that were agreed upon last year should be implemented not just as a concept but also to actually transform human capital. There needs to be an internalization of AKHLAK in every state-owned enterprise, including PT KAI. This culture is very important in achieving the company's targets," Bharata stated at the online KAI Culture Fest in Jakarta on Wednesday.

AKHLAK that stands for Mandate, Competent, Harmonious, Loyal, Adaptive, and Cooperative was set as the core value of the state enterprises.

Bharata noted that forming a culture could not be achieved overnight, as there were several aspects or factors related to it. However, at least, culture is a reflection of understanding, attitudes, and actions.

The key to forming a culture are aspects that are mutually agreed upon and understood and done together in a sustainable manner.

"Of course, this must continue to be carried out through various programs and activities to really be able to internalize, so that what is implemented by KAI personnel can reflect the core values of AKHLAK that we have agreed upon together," Bharata stated.

He deemed culture as a crucial element, firstly to ensure that the company can achieve its goals, and second, it was important to avoid other notions, such as radicalism.

Bharata lauded the performance of state-owned railways company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI that had contributed to the nation.

"When we speak about KAI's performance, we really praise that apart from being assigned to conduct various types of business transformations, KAI also concurrently gets assignments. This must be interpreted as a mandate. There is no company like KAI that has a history and real contribution to the Indonesian nation. We really laud KAI's performance," he remarked.

He also expects that KAI will optimize its regional assets better on account of the fact that it has several of them.

"This can be interpreted as an adaptive form, so that KAI remains relevant and makes various innovations," he added.
