JTI Malaysia awarded Top Employer 2021 in Malaysia for sixth consecutive year

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.

“Winning the award for six consecutive years is a testament to our 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 Khoo Bee Leng, Managing Director of JTI Malaysia.

For JTI, the renewed regional Top Employer 2021 certification in Malaysia is the latest addition to a list of awards recognising its 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.

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.

JTI’S PLAN TO MAINTAIN EXCELLENCE IN 2021
