65 Malaysian Companies Honored as Best Companies to Work for in Asia® 2022
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysian companies are responding to the evolving cultural landscape, both within the country and internationally. Many are adapting their workplace environment and policies to eliminate gender bias, bridge multigenerational differences, and promote fair and impartial processes and outcomes for each individual in the company.
Congratulations to the Winners of 2022 Malaysia HR Asia Best Companies to Work in Asia
To celebrate this paradigm shift, the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia® 2022 focused on the efforts of companies in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, while retaining HR Asia's stringent evaluation criteria to be named as part of the Best Companies to Work for in Asia program.
Aligning with the theme, this year, three new categories; HR Asia Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Awards, HR Asia Digital Transformation Awards, and HR Asia Most Caring Awards were introduced for nominees who not only provided employees the best place to work, but also focused on specific efforts as scored via HR Asia's Total Engagement Assessment Model.
This theme resonated with Malaysian companies, with 19,580 employees from 310 Malaysian companies taking part in HR Asia's Total Engagement Assessment Model assessments - ranking their own employers on metrics ranging from workplace happiness and team cohesion to employee advocacy and continued job motivation. Both figures registered as the highest participation ever in Malaysia respectively.
The top 65 companies who made the cut off point this year are then named HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2022 for the Malaysian market.
"HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia is the only award that is judged solely by the nominees' employees - making this the most transparent award of its kind. Equally important, with 15 markets, and over 400,000 surveys done each year - the program is also the most extensive awards for employee engagement and workplace excellence across the region", says Datuk William Ng, group publisher of Business Media International, the owner of HR Asia.
The top three workplace positive sentiments shared by Malaysian employees are that employees are willing to help those who require assistance, are happy that they have flexible working arrangements, and are willing to put in the extra effort to improve their contributions to the employers.
However, the survey has also turned up several concerns from employees, such as feeling exhausted at work due to increasing workload, the lack of on-site or subsidized recreational facilities or activities for the employees, and the lack of communication with former employees.
This year, five companies are awarded the Gold Harmonia statuette as they are recognized to be one of the Best Companies to Work for in Asia for five consecutive years and more, these companies are Arvato Systems Malaysia Sdn Bhd being a 8th year consecutive winner, Great Eastern Life Assurance (M) Berhad being a 7th year consecutive winner, BAT Digital Business Solutions, winning the award for 6 years consecutively, while Malayan Flour Mills Berhad and Wipro Consumer Care (LDW) Malaysia are 5th year consecutive winners.
"The pandemic has placed extraordinary demands on business leaders and beyond. For some companies, a near term survival plan may seem to be the only agenda for recovery but by investing in employee engagement, employees will feel supported in their jobs and in return will contribute to the overall business operations and post recovery growth," Ng added.
The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards recognises companies that have shown world-class employee engagement and workplace excellence, while displaying demonstrable empathy and care for their employees.
The award covers fifteen markets across the region including mainland China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam making this the largest recognition program and survey in the region for employee engagement.
