Our approach
Infrastructure
To safeguard against power outages, ENGINE Outsourcing Solutions employs an electricity generator, thereby enhancing business continuity.
ENGINE utilizes two internet providers, with one serving as a backup solution that, fortunately, has not been needed thus far.
Education
Our team comprises individuals from diverse ethnic background, each bringing a unique blend of education and employment experiences. We embrace this diversity with a shared belief: “We hire based on attitude and then provide training to develop skills.”
We place significant emphasis on on-the-job training and cross-training initiatives, facilitating these efforts with dedicated trainers.
