Maybank has once again been recognised domestically and regionally for excellence in its Human Resource capabilities.
This is the third time Maybank has been named the HR Excellence Grand Winner, since the inception of the award in 2012. The HR Excellence Award is the region’s most prestigious award honouring organisations for their exceptional employee management programmes and robust human resource management strategies. It also recognises HR excellence across industries that contribute to the overall success of the HR function during one of the most difficult periods in recent memory, namely the COVID-19 pandemic.
Maybank Group Chief Human Capital Officer, Datuk Nora Abd Manaf said, “These awards bear testimony to our commitment in delivering the best for our stakeholders and creating value inter-twined with our mission to humanise financial services no matter what the challenges may be.
“In this fast-changing world, it is important for us to actively monitor, reshape, and realign the way we do things to remain relevant. We have come a long way, continuously redefining our engagements and talent initiatives, and taking a more holistic and proactive approach in shaping the future readiness of our people and the country’s graduates, using technology and constantly pushing boundaries to spur us in driving our M25 aspirations and to do even more in the future .”
