Employee Experience Awards Key Dates

WHO’S ENTERED EXA?

Putting the Spotlight on Experience

The Employee Experience Awards (Malaysia) returns for its third year to honour organisations that have excelled at focusing on employee experience to help retain and excite the best people, creating value and maintaining a competitive edge as they do so.

Employees have been grappling with the disruption to work brought about by the aftershocks of the pandemic that continue to present social, economic and work-related challenges, which have brough unprecedented levels of uncertainty, instability and stress to their lives.

That’s why Human Resources Online is proud to bring back the Employee Experience Awards, to recognise employers who are taking concrete steps to put the spotlight on the employee experience.

A win at the Employee Experience Awards is an important acknowledgement from the industry that your organisation is taking a lead in listening to, engaging and supporting your most valuable asset: its people.

38

This is a golden opportunity to showcase your hard work and efforts that have transformed your organisation into an employee-centric workplace

This year, there are 38 categories available for entry, focusing on four EX (employee experience) pillars: leadership, learning, engagement, and talent acquisition. These categories will recognise the stellar achievements that have successfully reinforced strategic leadership development, boosted integrated learning, and increased employee engagement.

It’s time to bask in the glory of your hard work and be celebrated by your peers. We wish you all the very best of luck with your submissions!

Best of luck! Follow us on social media as the awards develop.
