HR Asia, the leading publication in the Human Resources industry, announces the winners of its prestigious HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024. This year, a total of 66 outstanding Malaysian companies have been recognised for their exemplary HR practices, showcasing their commitment to fostering a vibrant and diverse workplace environment.
Under the theme of “The Definitive Z Choice,” the winners reflect the challenges and opportunities presented by the influx of Gen-Z or Zoomers, creating a multi-generational workforce. These companies have not only demonstrated exceptional prowess in hiring and retaining young talent but also in creating a workplace culture that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous innovation, setting a benchmark for others in the industry.
The surge in nominations underscores the growing prominence of workplace excellence in the region with 290 companies competing for recognition, showcasing a keen desire to stand out as leaders in employee satisfaction, welfare, and development. 19,900 survey participants shared their invaluable insights and experiences, providing a comprehensive overview of the workplace landscape in Malaysia. Their contributions not only reflect a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing workplace environments but also highlight the significance of employee voice in shaping organisational culture and practices.
“With an ever-growing number of Zoomers entering the workforce, there comes a number of challenges for human resources. The life experiences and expectations of the younger generation are entirely different from the previous generations, potentially creating discord in the workplace. It is good to see that a larger number of organisations in Malaysia are actively mitigating potential issues and recording higher employee satisfaction by championing inclusivity along with actively listening to their needs,” said William Ng, group publisher of HR Asia.
2024 sees a new category HR Asia Sustainable Workplace Awards being introduced to reflect the organisation’s unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices. The HR Asia Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awards seek to recognise organisations that have made significant strides towards creating diverse and inclusive workplaces. In turn, the HR Asia Most Caring Company Awards recognise organisations that have demonstrated exceptional care for their employees, particularly during difficult times.
The HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2024 – Malaysia award winners have shown an unwavering dedication to employee satisfaction, welfare, and development.
