The Registrar’s Office is responsible for monitoring and driving the empowerment of university staff talent, covering both categories – academic staff and academic support staff. In line with this responsibility, four main focus areas have been identified as indicators of the effectiveness of the initiatives implemented.

First, the percentage of excellent academic staff has shown consistent growth throughout 2025. Starting at 26.50% in 2024, the percentage rose to 27.57% at the beginning of the year and further increased to 28.51% by mid-year. The 2.01 percent increase during this period reflects the success of various professional development initiatives, excellence recognition systems, and continuous support for enhancing the performance of academic staff. This clearly demonstrates the university’s commitment to building a competent and competitive academic workforce that contributes to the institution’s overall excellence.

Second, the percentage of staff recognised as reference experts in niche areas has also shown encouraging growth. From 22.29% in 2024, the figure jumped to 26.35% at the beginning of 2025 and further increased to 28.57% by mid-year. This 6.28 percent surge indicates the effectiveness of expertise development strategies and recognition of staff capabilities in their respective niche areas. This also strengthens the university’s role as a high-impact knowledge reference centre at both the national and international levels.

Third, outstanding administrative and support staff have also shown positive and consistent performance. Starting at 20.6% in 2024, the increase to 21.06% in 2025 reflects the university’s commitment to empowering the implementation and administrative groups. This improvement has been the result of ongoing training programmes, performance evaluations based on achievements, and the strengthening of a culture of excellence that supports the effective management of university operations.

Lastly, the campus community well-being index has recorded an outstanding achievement of 93.66%, surpassing the original target of 80%. This achievement reflects a high level of satisfaction and well-being among the campus community, covering aspects such as a conducive work environment, psychosocial support, comfortable facilities, and a healthy work-life balance. This is the result of the university’s holistic approach in ensuring that the welfare and well-being of its people are always prioritised.

Overall, these achievements prove that a structured and focused approach to talent development and staff well-being has begun to yield significant results. The Registrar’s Office remains committed to strengthening these efforts to ensure performance sustainability and institutional excellence in the long term.
