KUALA LUMPUR 25 Jan. – JT International Berhad (JTI Malaysia) has been certified as a Top Employer in Malaysia for the sixth consecutive year.

The certification by the Top Employers Institute cements JTI’s reputation as an employer that puts people first and once again acknowledges JTI’s excellent working conditions, as well as the progress it has made to improve wellbeing, and diversity and inclusion. 

Managing Director of JTI Malaysia, Khoo Bee Leng said winning the award for six consecutive years is a testament to their culture and the fact that JTI is an excellent workplace that enhances career growth.

“We are extremely proud of this achievement as it serves to highlight our long-term people-centric approach which focuses on being transparent, listening to our employees and providing fair career opportunities.

“Here at JTI, we rely on the unique abilities, creativity and commitment that each employee brings with them and we hone this further by demonstrating our commitment to invest in our people and our employment practices”, said Bee Leng in a statement today.

For JTI, the renewed regional Top Employer 2021 certification in Malaysia is the latest addition to a list of awards recognising its human resource (HR) excellence across the globe. 

In 2020, JTI was certified as a Global Top Employer for the fifth consecutive year, and also gained Top Employer status in Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, North America, the Middle East and Africa.

Meantime, for this year, JTI aims to focus more on three areas, namely gender equality in leadership positions, building an agile workforce as well as focusing on cultivating a corporate culture that brings out the best in its people.

The annual international research undertaken by the Top Employers Institute recognises leading employers around the world; those that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation, and which strive to continuously optimise employment practices. - DagangNews.com
