A.P. Moller - Maersk is an integrated container logistics company working to connect and simplify our customers’ supply chains. As a global leader in shipping services, Maersk operates in 130 countries and maintains a robust workforce of 93,000 employees.

But behind the impressive numbers lies the backbone of the company, the five corporate values instilled by our founders, which have served as guiding principles for over a century: Constant Care, Humbleness, Uprightness, The Employees, and Our Name.

These values have played a vital role in shaping the company and driving its growth and development throughout the years. They are not just words on paper but truly embedded in the culture and operations here at Maersk.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work culture. Our vision is to create a culture that respects, encourages, enables, and celebrates diverse voices, experiences, and thoughts. We focus on driving gender diversity in the organization, through innovative policies, targeted development programs, and training programs to help women advance in their careers. Our training programs such as "Strategies for Success" and "The Signature Program" aims to maximize career potential and enhance the performance of our colleagues.

We also have mechanisms to help employees become aware of pre-existing biases that can influence the overall productivity and environment at the workplace and make merit-based decisions. Our MIX network, led by senior leaders and Ally champions, promotes diversity and inclusion throughout the organization.

We at Maersk, have a variety of initiatives in place to develop and promote employees, including the Leadership Circle, Go with Maersk graduate program, Mentoring Matters, Coaching Conversations, Talent Review, Develop 2 Grow, and various dedicated initiatives tailored to specific audiences such as first-time people leaders. These initiatives are designed to provide them with the tools and opportunities they need to fully develop themselves and be effective in their roles.

To revolutionize the evaluation system, we have adopted a new approach to performance and talent management called MPACT, which stands for Maximizing Performance, Alignment & Career Growth of Talent. This approach involves more frequent conversations with employees about their goals, development, and performance, with a focus on providing just-in-time feedback, aligning team objectives with business strategy, and promoting a culture of learning and experimentation.

When it comes to recognizing quality work and potential, we take a year-round approach to rewarding our employees for their hard work and dedication. We offer a competitive, timely, and personalized approach to rewards, recognizing both company and individual performance.

Our One Maersk Bonus Plan focuses on delivering shared goals, making decisions that are best for the company, and growing together as a team. Additionally, our STARS Awards platform empowers managers to recognize and reward individual and team achievements, and our Long Service Award recognizes employees for their longevity with the company, rewarding them on their 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 40-year service anniversaries.

Being recognized by one of Asia’s most coveted awards is truly an honour and proof of the efficiency of our methods. We strive toward creating a better work place every single day and ensure that all our employees can tap into their true potential here. This recognition has further fuelled our vision and enthusiasm to continue making Maersk a diverse and inclusive workplace for all to find their potential and grow.
