JAKARTA - PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk has started to carry out internal efficiency steps by cutting 10 percent of the total salary earned by the board of directors.
Garuda Indonesia President Director Glenny H Kairupan said the decision was agreed voluntarily by all directors as a form of commitment to improving the company's condition.
"I offer it to the directors, what if the directors of Garuda voluntarily (do their salaries). Because the leader, you yourself are a leader, you must be a person who dares to sacrifice. If we don't accept the salary, we cut it 10 percent. Does everyone agree? It turns out that everyone agrees, "he said in a virtual RDP with Commission VI of the DPR, Monday, December 1.
Glenny explained that this salary cut step is part of a thorough evaluation of the company's organizational structure and work patterns which he has considered so far are wasteful and ineffective.
"Because I got that this child or grandson is too wasteful of money," he said.
In addition, Glenny said Garuda also made improvements to representative offices abroad which were considered inefficient. For example, the case of representatives in Japan which is considered problematic in serving passengers.
"I say, this must be a game. I ask human capital, change representatives in Japan. It was immediately made that day, withdrawn," he explained.
In addition to changing officials, Glenny revealed that the number of representative staff in various countries was also cut.

"Efficiency is also carried out on us having representatives who are 2 to 3 people, we revoke them, only one person. Let the local staff have more. Because we have to pay for them to have allowances, including renting houses and so on," he said.
According to Glenny, all these efficiency measures were carried out as an effort to save the company, including improving work culture.
I changed the culture by making a political counter. I made certain notes that they have to say everyday in every office. Self-organize all Garuda employees," he said.
