Kimberly-Clark today announced that it had picked up the 2021 HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia (Malaysia Edition) Award, making the company a five-time winner of the accolade.
Winners of the Award were determined by employees from some 250 companies across Malaysia through a meticulously designed questionnaire that evaluates organisations on employee morale, needs and expectations, corporate culture as well as engagement efforts.
Kimberly-Clark Malaysia scored well above the industry average in all areas outlined and through the survey.
HR Director of Kimberly-Clark Malaysia Ng Li Lin says, “The pandemic challenged us to stretch our thinking and reshape our approach to HR especially when the country went into lockdown. We immediately saw the importance of clearly communicating strategies, being transparent and timely with updates to our employees, and placed great emphasis on allowing employees to share feedback openly.”
The survey findings revealed that Kimberly-Clark Malaysia has a clear and open communication policy between employees regardless of seniority, acts on employees’ feedback, has a strong teamwork culture and flexible working arrangements.
The company saw these as integral factors in enabling workplace satisfaction and happiness, and their strategy had been proven to be successful as employees stated that they would recommend Kimberly-Clark to others as a great place to work and are willing to go the extra mile for the organisation.
Ng further added, “We witnessed first-hand how team members and the leadership team worked together to develop and grow each other and the enterprise. It gives us Purpose every day because we know that Better Care for a Better World starts with us.”
