July 26^th 2023, Serdang - The Conducive Public Sector Ecosystem Committee (JK EKSA) of the School of Graduate Studies (SPS) conducted a benchmarking visit to the Alumni Relations Center (ARC) at UPM as part of their efforts to enhance knowledge related to EKSA practices in other departments. The visit, led by Ms. Norhasliza Hassan, Deputy Registrar of SPS, was attended by 12 members of the JK EKSA SPS committee.

The presence of SPS was warmly welcomed by all ARC UPM staff, led by the Director of the department, Associate Professor Dr. Arbaie Sujud. During the visit, the committee was presented with a list of unique activities and practices routinely carried out at ARC UPM to promote EKSA. These activities included zone-based activities, regular internal audits, and efforts to minimize the use of recyclable materials in maintaining the department's corporate image. Valuable insights were shared with the EKSA Coordinator of ARC UPM, who also serves as a facilitator for EKSA at UPM, through a Q&A session.

Through this visit, it is important to understand that the importance of EKSA lies in maintaining a conducive work environment and providing a comfortable space for PTJ customers to transact. Following the presentation, the JK EKSA SPS committee toured the office areas, zones, and counters at ARC UPM. Questions regarding EKSA practices at each location provided new perspectives to the attending SPS members.

The visit concluded with a brief reception, the exchange of souvenirs, and group photos with the JK EKSA ARCUPM committee.
