SABIC, a world leading diversified chemicals company, has been officially recognized as the “Top Employer Asia Pacific” for the eighth consecutive year.
Organized by the Top Employer Institute, a globally accredited certification body, SABIC also received the “Top Employer 2021” awards in 5 of its key Asian markets—China for the eleventh year, and India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea for the past eight years. The award also acknowledged the company’s unwavering commitment to its employees in a year that has been shaped by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Top Employers Institute program certifies organizations based on the participation and results of their HR Best Practices Survey. This survey covers 6 HR domains consisting of 20 topics such as People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Well-being and Diversity & Inclusion and more.
“While the pandemic has brought about unprecedented change and disruption to our daily lives, we are proud of the resilience shown by our employees to take these challenges in their stride. To be recognized as the certified Top Employer for the eighth-year running is a proud achievement and an important milestone for SABIC’s development in the region,” said Mohammed Al-Nafea, General Manager, HR MEAF & Asia Regions, in a statement.
With health and safety of the workforce top of mind, SABIC undertook comprehensive precautionary measures across Asia to safeguard its employees. Local situations in each country across APAC were closely monitored. Government regulations were stringently adhered to and robust safety management practices were regularly assessed and modified according to the fast-changing developments on the ground.
David Plink, CEO of the Top Employers Institute said, “As a Top Employer, SABIC has shown that they continuously invest in their employees and look for new ways to improve the workplace environment. Winning the award for the eighth consecutive time showcases dedication towards nurturing talent and driving employee development. Despite the challenging year we have experienced, SABIC has continued to demonstrate the power of putting their people first in the workplace.”
