Putting the Spotlight on Employee Experience

After three successful years in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, The Employee Experience Awards is coming to Thailand to honour organisations that prioritise and excel in creating exceptional experiences for their employees.

Thailand’s vibrant and diverse business landscape, coupled with its commitment to fostering a culture of employee well-being, makes it the perfect destination for this prestigious awards ceremony. As an increasingly recognised measure of organisational success, employee experience has gained significant importance in recent years. It is now widely acknowledged that companies with satisfied and engaged employees tend to outperform their peers in various aspects, including productivity, customer satisfaction, and overall profitability.

The Employee Experience Awards distinguish itself by its comprehensive approach, focusing on four pillars that form the cornerstone of a positive employee experience. These pillars are:
