According to a LinkedIn statement, the country’s fully integrated oil and gas company, which is committed to upskilling its employees to adapt to a rapidly changing business environment, topped the list, which was followed by Maybank, Bosch, Permodalan Nasional Bhd (TNB), and B. Braun Group.
According to the report, three of the seven local companies ranked in 2022 were government-linked corporations (GLCs), along with a government-linked investment company (GLIC).
Petronas, Maybank, PNB, and TNB were among them (number 11).
“These government entities are among the largest employers in the country, and they continue to hire talent ranging from entry-level to senior roles, as well as offering internships and trainee programme opportunities,” the report stated.
Maybank introduced a hybrid work environment, allowing employees access to hot-desking and collaborative meeting rooms, while PNB began new flexible work arrangements, allowing 1,750 employees to work from home during the pandemic.
