JTI Malaysia recognized as a Top Employer for 7th consecutive year for its innovative approach to equality and wellbeing

JTI Malaysia has been recognized as a Top Employer for the seventh consecutive year, acknowledging the company’s continuing commitment and innovative approach to equality and wellbeing. One of the key factors that contributed to this was the recently introduced New Ways of Working (NWOW) practice.

On top of this recognition, JTI has also been certified 3 years in a row in all six regions in which it operates: North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company is now a Top Employer in 66 nations worldwide.

Top Employers Institute is the global authority on recognizing excellence in people practices, and this year notably commended JTI for: embedding equal opportunities and equal pay throughout the company, which was recognized by EY in November 2021 when they awarded JTI with one of the first Global Equality Standard (GES) certificates; and its commitment to employee wellbeing through world-leading initiatives such as flexible working measures, its progressive global family leave policy introduced in 2021, a market-leading approach to inclusion, and its women’s empowerment program TOGETHER.

“It is an honor to once again be certified by Top Employers Institute. Our people are our greatest asset, which is why we aim to offer them the best possible working environment. I am extremely proud of this achievement”, said Khoo Bee Leng, JTI Malaysia General Manager.

JTI Malaysia People & Culture Director Karen Chong said, “It is important that we give our colleagues the opportunity to grow, while providing them with the optimal conditions and support to fulfil their potential.”

“We are delighted that JTI has retained its place in the elite of Global Top Employers. They should be proud of their status as a world leader in people practices, and the ongoing commitment they show to improving the wellbeing of all their employees across the world. Their latest success in being certified as a global equality employer is a standard to emulate for those companies who wish to become a Top Employer too,” said David Plink, CEO of Top Employers Institute.

JTI has set itself ambitious goals for the coming years to benefit, support, and engage with current and future talent. The organization will continue to focus on employee wellbeing by adapting and improving the company’s work environment, be that in the office or at home. Current employees will have access to numerous remote team-building initiatives, focusing on a healthy work/life balance and personal development, reinforcing JTI’s status as a Top Employer.
