How were these rankings compiled?

Learn more about the methodology behind Malaysia’s most comprehensive and longest graduate survey of student opinions on graduate jobs, career expectations and today’s most popular employers.

For over a decade, the gradmalaysia team has surveyed fresh graduates and students at institutions of higher learning to find out which companies, firms and organisations piqued their interest as they crossed over to the working world.

Our Malaysia Graduate Barometer survey is developed in partnership with an MRS-certified market research organisation from the UK. It is promoted on the official Malaysia’s 100 website, university career centres, social media, and through word-of-mouth among students. Each year, students from all universities across the nation complete the survey anonymously, providing honest insights regarding their career goals and job-seeking habits.

Students first receive the survey through a protected web link distributed to our student database, or through engagement at career events. Unlike typical employer brand surveys, however, they are first asked about the sectors they are interested in. Afterwards, the students are requested to disclose which particular organisations or firms they intend to apply to upon graduation.

LOCAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES

Despite its quick completion rate (15 minutes on average), the survey boasts high numbers of responses and accuracy rates. Our data has a 95 percent confidence level, which means that if you were to throw a ball at random into a crowd of local students anywhere in the country, whichever lucky soul the ball hits will tell you more or less the exact same things captured in our survey 95 percent of the time! This means our survey offers valuable and meaningful insights into student preferences, ethics and values when it comes to job-hunting.

This system reflects the process most students undergo when making career choices regarding who they would like to work with. The survey not only compiles a list of Malaysia’s 100 Leading Graduate Employers but also provides a glimpse of how these companies rank among themselves within their own sectors. Field research took place from Jan to Sept 2022.

In addition, it also provides insight into the differences between first-year students and those in their penultimate

or final years regarding job preferences. Differences between students from different degree disciplines can also be picked out, such as how engineering students aiming for positions with electronics manufacturers seek out job opportunities compared to those looking to enter the public sector.

However, gathering such a large amount of data is a huge amount of work, so why do we go through with this each year? For us, we hope that employers will utilise these results as a foundation to not only better understand student mindsets, but to improve on how they can engage with them as they enter the workforce in the near future.

As for the students reading this, we hope these results can help you better weigh your options between your choice of employers. We also hope that you will become more self-aware as you begin your journey towards the working world, and the challenges that await you with prospective employers.

With that said, let’s turn the page and get right into it!

Explainer: The Rising Cost of Living and the Graduate Job Search

How has the cost of living affected the graduate job search process, and what can you do in response to it? Read our handy explainer to find out.

The sharp increase of the cost of living in Malaysia since 2022 has not gone unnoticed by students and graduates. Almost 89 percent of respondents to our 2022/23 Malaysia’s 100 survey stated that they were very concerned about the cost of living in a Malaysian city on a graduate salary.

In addition, respondents openly ranked salary and remuneration among the top five factors influencing their choice of employer in the 2022/23 survey. This was the first time they had ever done so since the survey first launched in 2008, indicating a very open anxiety about making sure that their first job could cover their material and financial needs.

In response to these concerns, the gradmalaysia team has put together this quick explainer to help our graduate readers understand the state of the job market right now, how cost of living concerns have affected graduates’ job search priorities in 2023, and lastly - what graduates can do to address these concerns.

WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THE JOB MARKET?

Despite the increased cost of doing business in Malaysia, the local employment rate still remains steady. According to official figures by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), the national unemployment rate as of May 2023 remained at 3.5 percent, down from 3.9 percent during the same period in 2022.

The DOSM also reported a growth in the number of job vacancies posted online in Q1 of 2023. More than 211,500 jobs were posted online from Jan to March 2023, up 3.5 percent from the previous quarter. However, most of these jobs were centered in heavily urban areas, such as (in order of number of vacancies) Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, and Penang.

Though official government statistics may not always be up to date and should be taken with a grain of salt, these figures do seem to indicate that the job market in Malaysia is still going steady in 2023, and that there are definitely still plenty of opportunities out there for graduates.

However, the rising cost of doing business has caused many local employers to perform steep budget cuts. They are still competing aggressively for top talent to rebuild their post-COVID era workforces, but are also much more selective as a result of having lower budgets to work with. This means that graduates will have to put in a bit more work to position themselves to recruiters as relevant, stand-out candidates.

HOW HAVE GRADUATES’ JOB SEARCH PRIORITIES BEEN AFFECTED?

In a 2023 poll conducted by the UCSI Poll Research Centre, 89 percent of Malaysians aged 18 and older stated concerns about the rising cost of living, listing groceries and food prices (60 percent), followed by utilities (45 percent) and fuel (43 percent) as their top three priorities.

As such, most graduate jobseekers have changed the trajectory of their job search, openly prioritising benefits offered by companies when searching for jobs.

New to our 2022/23 survey, graduates were asked to identify what sorts of employee benefits or remuneration were most attractive to them aside from the basic salary. The following were ranked as the top three most desirable (in order): Medical insurance coverage under a company plan, flexible working hours (giving them freedom to work a parttime gig), and expanded medical insurance coverage for immediate family members.

On the topic of direct salaries, there is still a discrepancy between graduates’ expected salaries and what most employers are willing to pay. Although our 2022/23 survey placed graduates’ median salary expectations between RM3,000 to RM3,500 a month, the average graduate salary in Malaysia still falls between RM2,500 to RM2,700 a month, according to various sources.

These salary expectations make sense when taking into account that most local graduate jobs require relocation to urban centres, where

the cost of living is often notably higher and accompanied by longer commutes. Therefore, the concerns expressed by graduates are more about having sustainable living wages relative to where local employment opportunities are.

WHAT CAN GRADUATES DO TO CLOSE THE GAP?

The first and most important step is that graduates must build their employability. As mentioned above, employers still need to fill roles but are also far more selective right now. Being an employable candidate is therefore important because it gives graduates more bargaining power to negotiate with potential employers about having their needs met.

Cultivating positive ongoing relationships with recruiters whenever possible is an important part of ensuring future negotiations succeed. Get to know recruiters at networking sessions, campus talks, or career events. Connect with them on social media and check in with them inperson if they are ever at an event you can access.

Graduates should also focus on honing their communication skills and being more upfront about their needs during the interview process. The key is to attempt to negotiate from an empathetic standpoint — helping recruiters to understand what your needs are at this point in time, and why you need those needs met in order to be able to give your best in your new job.

Collective bargaining can also play a part as well. Compare notes with peers and friends about what pay ranges you are all willing to accept, and collaborate amongst yourselves to negotiate within that range when you interview for potential roles. Over time, this causes average thresholds for graduate pay to be increased across the market, as employers encounter multiple desirable candidates with similar expectations and adjust their budgets accordingly.

Always be on the lookout for opportunities to develop employability and other desired soft skills before graduating. These could be through student society activities, class projects, volunteer work, internships, industryacademia placements, case study challenges, or industry mentoring programmes.

Doing thorough employer research is a big part of this process too. Talk to seniors, alumni, or friends to find out what the average remuneration in your desired industry is, so you have a fair range to work with. However, you also need to be clear about what you can personally offer the employer, or why you are the right fit for the role. So don’t neglect that part of your research as well!

Be ready to find creative solutions when negotiating with potential employers, in order to show your sincerity for the job. For example, if an employer is unable to match your desired remuneration, you can try negotiating for hybrid or remoteworking options which would allow you to save on daily expenses.

In summary, do your best to find a respectful win-win consensus with potential employers. There is no shame in negotiating to have your needs met so that you can truly shine in your first job with no anxieties. Remember that if you don’t openly prioritise your own needs, others usually won’t either!

Malaysia’s 100 Leading Graduate Employers 2023

Section 3 Career Sectors

Most graduates would prefer to work in specific sectors, so this section reveals the most popular employers by sector. We also identify key differences between the aspirations and behaviours of students interested in these sectors.

ACCOUNTING AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Accounting is the process of documenting the financial transactions of a business. The process includes summarising, analysing and reporting such transactions to regulators, oversight agencies, and tax collection entities. On the other hand, professional services entail providing support to businesses in areas ranging from process and technology consulting, risk assessments and financial advisory, to shareholder management.

If you’re aiming to advance your career in financial accounting, it might be worth pursuing chartered accountant qualifications with professional bodies such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), CPA Australia, or the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

You don’t need to be a chartered accountant to begin your graduate career in financial accounting. However, certain organisations may require chartered accountant qualifications before you can advance into senior or management level financial accounting roles.

Bear in mind, however, that pursuing chartered accountant qualifications is a major investment in terms of both time and money. It is also currently not the industry standard in Malaysia for companies to offer study leave as a benefit to internal finance staff. So you will likely have to juggle work while studying for your chartered accountant certification exams as well.

In exchange, being a chartered accountant may give you a leg up when it comes to negotiating for higher pay for financial accounting roles. It may also open up alternative career pathways for you, such as switching to a different field of accounting or allowing you to offer your services to companies as a freelance financial accountant.

Long considered one of the most recession proof industries, this career sector continues to remain a popular choice among graduates each year.

AUTOMOTIVE

Contributing up to 4% (RM4 billion) to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the automotive industry has always been an important and strategic part of Malaysia’s manufacturing sector.

The automotive industry in Malaysia is the third-largest in Southeast Asia, and the 23rd largest in the world, as of now. This is thanks in no small part to the two national car manufacturers, PROTON and PERODUA, whose locally-produced vehicles occupy a significant portion of the local automotive industry’s market share.

However, Malaysia is also an important hub for overseas automotive manufacturers. Global automotive companies such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz and BMW have production and sales bases set up here in order to cater to regional consumer demands. This has also attracted investors from China to put their bet on launching their products to the ASEAN countries through Malaysia.

This industry definitely plays an important role in the development of technology and skills across various disciplines of engineering and its supporting industries within Malaysia. There are currently 28 manufacturing and assembly plants operating in Malaysia for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and scooters, as well as automotive parts and components. The industry also covers a wide range of activities in research and design, product and process development, materials management, and aftersales services.

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES

Banking is an industry that handles cash, credit, and other financial transactions. Employers that often come to mind include retail banks and insurance companies, supplying customers with day-to-day financial management products like bank accounts and pensions. But there are also other routes as well, like actuarial consultancies and regulatory compliance firms. All these and more are overseen by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) - the central governing authority.

In 2022, an estimated 375 thousand people were employed in this industry across Malaysia. However, hiring rates in this sector have slowed down in 2023, with the number of new jobs posted between January to April 2023 decreasing by 45.6 percent vs. the previous year. Several factors that contributed to this trend include the increased automation of financial services and the current global economic slowdown, resulting in increased competition among banks.

Despite that, there are still plenty of graduate trainee programmes and entry-level roles available, as hiring is still going strong at that level. However, competition can be fierce. Candidates can turn to relevant internships and work experiences to get an edge up, as well as getting in an early application to increase their chances.

Graduate hires in banking graduate programmes usually start off as analysts, though trainee programmes can have them rotate through various departments to better understand how the entire business works, as well as the relationships between the different functions. After a few years as a graduate trainee, the next step is to progress to a junior or associate level where the responsibility of directly handling clients and other stakeholders will be handed over to you.

Being just as good with managing relationships as you are with managing money is a key part of succeeding in this industry.

IT skills such as software development and cybersecurity are also in huge demand now as banks accelerate their shift towards digital payments, e-investments, and the digitisation and automation of industrial processes.

BPO AND SHARED SERVICES

Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the practice of engaging a thirdparty service provider with the right skills and resources to carry out work on specific tasks on a company’s behalf. A company may, for example, decide to outsource its customer management, telesales, or tech support functions to a BPO provider as opposed to investing in hiring, training, and maintaining such teams in-house.

On the other hand, shared services involve creating an autonomous business unit that carries out internal functions within a client organisation. These could be functions like human resources, finance and procurement, or tech development. Shared services staff, for all intents and purposes, will work exclusively on the client’s internal day-to-day tasks for the duration of their company’s contract with the client.

Since 2000, Malaysia has been one of the most popular countries for shared services and BPO operations in Asia. It is also worth mentioning that this industry is also a part of the country’s Economic Transformation Plan under the Business Services sector, which makes it one of the fastest-growing industries in Malaysia.

For graduates, working in the BPO and shared services industries will give you exposure to a wide range of roles within various industries. You will be rotated across different client organisations throughout the course of your employment, giving you a unique perspective on the work that they are doing within their respective industries as well as insights into market trends and the players operating within them. This is a great industry for graduates looking to gain generalist knowledge and experience, which may serve you well down the line in your career progression.

A wide-ranging industry providing backend support to many others, BPO and shared services offer a long list of career opportunities for fresh graduates from various fields.

This industry is also a part of the country’s Economic Transformation Plan under the Business Services sector, which makes it one of the fastest-growing industries in Malaysia.

CONSULTING (MANAGEMENT & STRATEGY)

When a business is facing industry-specific problems that cannot be solved internally, executives will usually reach out to industry specific experts for professional guidance, advice and solutions. These experts are called consultants.

Consultants are professionals who provide expert analysis and recommendations on improving an organisation’s profit-making ability, operational effectiveness and position in the market. Some consultancy firms specialise in specific areas like business processes, HR, engineering, or information technology (IT), while others cover all aspects of business practices or focus on management level strategy.

There are several benefits that come with this industry – from high starting salaries, opportunities to travel abroad, and in-depth exposure to numerous industries. However, the work is very demanding. Consultants must be highly dedicated to the job, not just completing projects within their deadlines but going the extra mile to deliver added value to clients. Most management consultants, for example, work between 50-80 hours a week to get their tasks done.

As you may guess from the scope of work and its competitiveness, consulting firms have very stringent hiring criteria. Many established consultancy firms recruit through graduate trainee programmes with minimal spots or offer placements and internships to top-performing penultimate- and final-year students.

Depending on the industry of focus, graduate consultants may also be expected to pursue relevant master’s degrees or MBAs later on if they intend to keep ascending the career ladder as expert consultants.

As businesses scramble to adapt in a volatile economic climate, there is a greater than ever need for the work of specialised management and strategy consultants.

E-COMMERCE

E

-commerce covers the purchase and delivery of goods and services online, as well as the exchanging of money via payment gateways or online payment platforms. This industry was undoubtedly one of the biggest winners during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeing tremendous lasting growth not just in Malaysia, but around the world as well.

The e-commerce industry covers not just the management of online storefronts, but also the long tail of procuring product stocks in a timely manner, managing the delivery of purchased orders through external contractors or riders, and facilitating the transfer of money through online channels. Employers in this range from major online marketplaces to e-payment apps, all the way up to individual companies looking to establish an e-commerce footprint to increase their direct product sales.

By January 2021, there were 27.4 million active internet users in Malaysia, amounting to 80 percent of the population. Mobile phone penetration also amounted to a whopping 84.2 percent of the local population by then. This sheer volume of users and access to technology makes Malaysia one of the most attractive e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia. The government has also announced the National E-Commerce Strategic Roadmap 2.0 (NeSR2.0), which aims to support the further growth of Malaysia’s domestic e-commerce market.

Graduates keen on entering this industry should be prepared for long hours and fast-paced work. Trends and fads in this space are constantly shifting, and ongoing global supply chain disruptions have only made procuring stock at competitive prices that much harder than before. But those who can keep up will find themselves at the forefront of innovations in the way that we purchase goods and services, as well as the growing widespread adoption of digital payments and currencies.

The growth of the E-commerce industry during the pandemic has been one of the most impressive changes seen in the economy, especially in the transition from physical stores to virtual ones.

This industry was undoubtedly one of the biggest winners during the COVID-19 pandemic, seeing tremendous lasting growth not just in Malaysia, but around the world as well.

ELECTRONICS

The electronics engineering industry in Malaysia covers four subsectors: electronics components (e.g. semiconductors, circuit boards, etc.), consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and electrical products. (e.g. cables, batteries, switchboards, etc.) Of these, the first is the most prominent, with Malaysia contributing nearly 13 percent of the global back-end semiconductor supply each year.

However, Malaysia’s electronics industry is still largely focused on the assembly, packaging, and testing of electronic components — that is, the mid to lower end of the global electronics value chain. At present, the local industry still does not significantly contribute to higher value-added activities such as creating new intellectual property (IP), or the research, design, and development of electronic components.

The Twelfth Malaysian Plan (2021-2025) announced by the government aims to address this somewhat by including tax incentives for employers to encourage them to upskill existing staff and hire graduates with more advanced qualifications. This is all with the aim of transforming the industry from its current labour-intensive state to being a more knowledge-based industry instead.

Graduate engineers entering this industry can expect to find plenty of ready roles in the production, testing, and sales of electronics components. However, in order to advance further up the value chain in your career as an electronics engineer, you will need to pursue a relevant postgraduate degree at some point. Industrial design skills are in particularly high demand within this sector now, as the world faces a global shortage of design talent. Working knowledge of English is also a must, as the majority of existing technical literature on electronics — whether in an academic or professional engineering setting — is in English.

As one of the industries that contribute the most to the country’s GDP, Malaysia’s electronics sector is now undergoing a significant change in regard to its manpower capabilities.

Industrial design skills are in particularly high demand within this sector as the world faces a shortage of design talent.

ENERGY, OIL AND GAS, UTILITIES

Malaysia is known in the region for its abundant energy resources, especially in the oil and gas sector. So it is no surprise that this sector is a major contributor to Malaysia’s economy, which constitutes 20 percent of the country’s annual GDP.

Oil and gas services in Malaysia covers three areas: upstream (oil and gas) field services, midstream (transportation and storage), and maintenance of machinery and equipment. Fossil fuels are, unsurprisingly, the primary source for local electricity generation, with 53 percent of our energy coming from natural gas. However, acknowledging the environmental impact of this industry, Malaysia has also committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2030.

The utility sub-sector on the other hand, covers energy and water utility services. Power generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Malaysia are held by three main players: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Syarikat SESCO Bhd (SESCO) and Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB). Water utilities are provided by Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) and Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad (PAAB).

Green/renewable energy is one area of this industry to watch. Malaysia aims to double its current renewable energy capabilities by 2025, with solar photovoltaic energy having the highest technical potential for growth given our tropical climate. This is accompanied by the gradual liberalisation of the utility industry via the Malaysia Electricity Supply Industry (MESI) 2.0 reforms, which aim to open up the local energy market to smaller green/renewable energy players.

Graduates entering this industry should be prepared to face major market and regulatory changes over time, given the increased scrutiny this industry has come under due to global climate change. However, this also means there is now intensified incentives for graduates in this sector to explore sustainable and equitable ways to support the future growth of the global energy economy.

One of the biggest pillars of the nation’s economy, this heavily-regulated sector comes with several sub-sectors, offering a lot of opportunities.

ENGINEERING AND HEAVY INDUSTRIES

As an engineer, your job role could be the same as your degree discipline, such as a mechanical engineer or environmental engineer. Or, it could be based around a particular stage of the engineering process, such as design engineer, quality assurance engineer, or production engineer. Potential employers can come from any number of industries, including construction, chemicals, telecommunications, transport, technical consultancies, or even the government itself.

Globally, the engineering industry is adapting to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0 or IR4). This involves the application of increased computing power, data analytics, human-machine interactions (e.g. AI-assisted engineering processes), and advanced engineering technologies to disrupt and upgrade the entire engineering value chain. This acceleration towards Industry 4.0 is something graduates cannot afford to miss.

As Malaysia transitions into a more knowledge-based economy capable of harnessing the potential of Industry 4.0, it is more important than ever for graduates in the engineering sector to keep their skills up-to-date and stay informed about the latest trends in their field. The engineering sector is constantly evolving, and graduates who are not willing to upskill will be at a disadvantage in the job market.

With so many companies in the industry, there are various employment practices. For instance, some employers recruit and place engineering students in general graduate schemes, while others bring on both engineering and business candidates into specialist graduate programmes that put emphasis on applying technical knowledge in roles such as marketing and management.

While small firms tend to hire for specific, entry-level roles, larger recruits hire graduates via training programmes, which can get competitive. Interested applicants should seek out suitable work experiences - whether via internships, placements, or part-time jobs - to gain an advantage.

From aerospace to chemicals to the built environment, graduates keen on careers in engineering can enjoy a vast number of roles to choose from.

It is now more important than ever for graduates keen on this sector to continually upskill themselves and stay abreast of the latest engineering trends within their disciplines, as the country transitions into a more knowledge-based economy.

FAST-MOVING CONSUMER GOODS (FMCG)

Graduates looking to join this popular industry can expect exposure to multiple business segments back-to-back.

Defined as non-durable products created in large quantities, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) include items such as toiletries, cleaning products, clothing, food and cosmetics that are known for their short shelf lives and relatively low costs.

This industry is incredibly popular among fresh graduates due to the fact that it exposes them to many different business segments such as marketing, sales, finance and supply chain management – all at the same time. It is thus a great way to pick up many essential employable skills early on in your career.

With that said, this industry is currently facing major inflationary pressures both in Malaysia and abroad as a result of the aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rising costs of raw materials, packaging, and transport continue to affect the industry and drive up competition further. Expect FMCG companies to continue to adapt their sourcing and supply chain management practices rapidly in order to keep up.

There has also been intensified interest among local consumers for sustainably-sourced, environmentally-friendly products. Health consciousness is also now a major priority for consumers when choosing goods, according to a 2021 Asian Nielsen survey. These factors will play major roles when it comes to marketing FMCG products to consumers in the current climate.

Graduates from all disciplines are generally welcome to join this field, although employers will expect them to have some knowledge about the company’s brands and its competitors. Larger firms in this industry do offer graduate training programmes, where new hires usually go through a rotation of numerous functions in the business in order to get a more holistic view of how things work before being assigned to a designated job function.

GOVERNMENT REGULATORY BODIES

In general, a government regulatory body’s role is to establish and strengthen standards in line with the law of the land, and ensure that the local marketplace complies with said standards. Here in Malaysia, different regulatory bodies oversee different sectors of the economy and public services, such as transportation, education, and the sale of daily necessities and controlled substances. The majority of local government regulatory bodies and agencies generally operate as subsidiaries under the overview of the various federal ministries, though a select few do operate directly under the purview of the prime minister’s cabinet itself.

Some notable examples of regulatory bodies include the Central Bank of Malaysia (BNM), and the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN). They are responsible for regulating the monetary and financial stability of the economy, handling the collection of domestic taxes and enforcing taxation policies respectively. There is also HRD Corp, operating under the Ministry of Human Resources, which develops and funds training and development programmes for the local workforce through collecting levies from employers.

Considering job stability and security, this sector is certainly an appealing option for graduates. Starting roles can range from compliance officers, analysts, partner engagement, project management and more. Graduates have the option of applying for either specialist positions or generalist ones or applying for designated graduate development programmes offered by specific regulatory bodies.

Government regulatory bodies ensure a safe and fair marketplace for all other industries to thrive in.

The insurance industry involves protecting both individuals and companies against potential financial risks. Different insurance companies specialise in certain types of insurance. Some may focus on reinsurance in the health, property and casualty markets, others specialise more in pensions, life and general insurance products, while others may focus on more niche areas such as underwriting claims for shipping lines specifically.

The COVID-19 pandemic proved a watershed moment for the insurance industry as a whole, as many insurance providers quickly pivoted to meet the surge for increased coverage and the continued digitisation of the industry. In Malaysia alone, the industry is currently expected to see an average of 5.8 percent annual growth all the way up to 2030.

The pressure is now on insurance companies to accelerate the digitisation of their operations online, using AI to better forecast and calculate risk, and making their policies more accessible and transparent to potential customers in the process. This will open up new opportunities for graduates in this sector, as the industry looks to deeper integration of technology, as opposed to focusing on traditional sales and underwriting roles.

In addition to the above areas, insurance companies also require a wide range of support roles to support their core business, such as technology specialists, marketing and HR personnel.

Many large insurance employers offer training or graduate schemes to help new hires adapt to the new working environment. These schemes tend to rotate graduates across the different business areas of the company to help them understand the company better.

On the other hand, smaller insurance providers or insurance agencies may rely more on on-the-job training, as well as formal or informal mentorship programmes with senior team members.

Get to know the industry that aims to protect you against major potential financial risks, and the career opportunities that come with it.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)

With the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating Malaysia’s shift to a more digital-based knowledge economy, the country is poised to develop better connectivity, satellite broadband, digital infrastructure for buildings, 5G ecosystems and smart automation.

As of 2022, the information and communication technology (ICT) sector contributes about 22 percent to Malaysia’s GDP. This makes the ICT sector the third-largest contributor to Malaysia’s GDP, after the manufacturing and services sectors. Key ICT growth areas include artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, data analytics, Big Data storage, cybersecurity, business process outsourcing, and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.

Jobseekers who would like to explore IT roles within non-explicitly technical fields can also consider the banking, finance, public and retail sectors, among others. Players in these fields have continued to invest heavily in their online and technology departments to ensure more seamless digital experiences and exchanges between employees, clients, and users.

While science-based degrees (such as IT, engineering, or math) are preferred, they aren’t completely necessary. In fact, non-technical graduates who convert to IT work often bring unique perspectives to the table, provided they have the requisite numerical and analytical skills. However, graduates from non-IT backgrounds may have to supplement their knowledge by taking IT conversion courses on their own time.

However, an IT-related degree does not mean that you are an immediate shoo-in either if you lack the soft skills employers are after. That being said, they can be picked up through training, relevant work experience, and staying abreast of the industry. Having commercial awareness is also important, along with enthusiasm and having the right attitude.

Easily one of the most popular industries in the world right now, graduates keen on IT careers will find a wide range of work on all kinds of interesting projects.

LEISURE, TRAVEL AND HOSPITALITY

One of the biggest contributors to the national service sector, the tourism industry typically contributed to six percent of Malaysia’s GDP and 23 percent of national employment or 3.5 million jobs in recent years. Beyond just hotels and tourist destinations, tourism activities also support a complementary ecosystem of businesses, tourist projects, retail outlets, restaurants and transportation services, providing thousands of jobs to people on every tier.

The local tourism industry is now bouncing back from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying lockdowns. Malaysia aims to welcome as many as 16.1 million foreign tourists in 2023, with a significant portion of that total coming from Singapore, China, and Indonesia. However, the industry does still have certain risk factors to contend with this year, such as high global inflation, labour shortages due to pandemic-era job cuts, and slow economic recovery rates worldwide.

The Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) industry, a subset of the business tourism sector, is also seeing strong recovery this year as domestic and international businesses in Malaysia have restarted corporate events and trade shows in full force. The Malaysia Convention Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) has also won 81 bids for future international events scheduled until 2030, with an estimated economic impact of RM1.2 billion.

This means that more opportunities now await fresh graduates who are keen on joining the industry, especially in hospitality, customer service and event management. Graduates keen on this line of work must be able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal and communication skills, have a strong command of multiple languages (especially English), and great attention to detail. These are the various factors that come together to create a memorable experience for visitors, guests, and event attendees.

The travel and hospitality industry in Malaysia is recovering and is expected to once again become a key pillar of the national economy in due time.

MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT

The media and entertainment (M&E) industry cover both the production and delivery of news, entertainment, or infotainment content to consumers. This covers a wide range of mediums from newspapers, magazines, and digital content portals to cable/satellite TV and online streaming services.

Thanks to the massive number of internet users in Malaysia and increased reliance on online platforms in the past two years, this industry is now going through a major digitalisation shift. Terrestrial and physical media platforms are now being phased out even faster, as consumers have now grown increasingly accustomed to curated online content feeds, streaming content-on-demand, and a greater diversity of channels and platforms vying for their attention.

This big shift offers huge opportunities for job seekers who are looking to start a career not just on the production side of the industry, but also in the IT field, given that most online media platforms now need constant maintenance and technical support work behind the scenes.

For graduates keen on entering the production side of the industry, past experience matters far more than educational qualifications. Employers give precedence to candidates with portfolios of published or produced works, so graduates should always be on the lookout for opportunities to create content that will be published on public platforms if they hope to catch the eyes of prospective employers.

As the proliferation of digital platforms has shortened production timeframes for content, there is also a greater demand now for production staff who can produce content end-to-end. This could include writing, photography, video and sound editing, basic design work, etc. Graduates can sometimes expect to become jacks-of-all-trades over time when working in this industry.

Changing consumer behaviour and consolidation of companies has accelerated shifts in the media and entertainment industry, making it more competitive than ever.

Terrestrial and physical media platforms are now being phased out even faster, as consumers have now grown increasingly accustomed to curated online content feeds, streaming content-ondemand, and a greater diversity of channels and platforms vying for their attention.

PHARMACEUTICALS

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Malaysia has always been home to a very lively pharmaceutical industry landscape. With active research and developments in the field, as well as the constant local manufacturing of medical drugs, the industry enjoys tremendous ongoing support from the Malaysian government. Despite that, domestic pharmaceutical market growth is still regulated by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) under the umbrella of the Ministry of Health Malaysia, as part of a larger national agenda to ensure Malaysians can continue to enjoy access to affordable medication and healthcare supplies locally.

The Malaysian pharmaceutical market share is essentially separated into two main categories: local pharmaceutical companies, and research-based multinational enterprises. These carry different types of core businesses: The local pharmaceutical companies are more concentrated on manufacturing traditional medicines, vitamins, supplements and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for local consumption, as opposed to the research-based multinational enterprises that are responsible for the manufacturing of specialised internationally-patented drugs, backed up with extensive research and development processes.

Big pharmaceutical companies in Malaysia have transformed the pharmaceutical industry by investing in research and development, manufacturing high-quality drugs, exporting drugs to other countries, and training local workers. This has helped to improve the quality of healthcare, create new jobs, and boost the economy. Technology transfers such as these are also a key part of uplifting the local pharmaceutical industry as a whole, ensuring it continues to keep up with relevant international standards and increase production cost-efficiency even as new drugs and vaccines continue to be developed worldwide.

Opportunities for graduates in this industry include getting involved in research and development of new drugs, quality control of drug production, and operations and logistics management. Pharmaceutical sales and marketing is also an entire sub-industry within itself, as companies will also need to establish and maintain partnerships with hospitals, clinics, and individual medical practitioners in order to supply all these healthcare providers with their products.

This industry is key to ensuring Malaysians enjoy access to cheap, affordable medication and healthcare locally.

PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT

Property development in Malaysia is a booming industry, particularly in the country’s urbanised and semi-urban territories. The property side of the industry encompasses the conception, planning, sales, and management of residential and commercial developments. As they are interdependent on each other, the construction sector usually moves along with the property development industry, supporting the building and expansion processes of these development projects.

Many of the main players in the construction sector are also involved in the construction of the country’s infrastructure: bridges, roads, railways and ports. Investment in local infrastructure is now rebounding after the pandemic lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, including projects like the Pan-Borneo Highway in Sarawak, and the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) Line and the Light Rail Transit Line 3 (LRT3) in the Klang Valley. It is a constantly moving and evolving sector, and graduates can also find work in the many professional services firms supporting the construction industry through architectural, engineering and surveying services.

However, the rapid growth of property developments across the country has raised ongoing questions about the sustainability of the industry. The oversupply of commercial properties in a post-pandemic market is a major risk for the industry right now, as are concerns regarding poor building quality, given ongoing supply chain disruptions for construction materials and a labour shortage alongside the rapid rate at which new developments are built.

Skyrocketing home property prices in Malaysia’s urban centres have also renewed dialogue about whether developers are overly prioritising high-end residential developments at the expense of building more affordable housing properties for the majority of urban citizens. These are questions that graduates keen on entering the industry should be prepared to engage with if they hope to steer the industry towards a more sustainable future.

As they are interdependent on each other, the construction sector usually moves along with the property development industry, supporting the building and expansion processes of these development projects.

The property industry in Malaysia is a dynamic and growing sector, supported by a growing population and rising middle class.

RETAIL

After a disappointing two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Malaysian retail industry recorded a positive growth rate of 33.3 percent once again in 2022. The industry is expected to continue growing in 2023, though at a much more conservative rate compared to the previous year.

However, the rising cost of living locally is expected to slow retail growth, as consumers reduce their spending on non-essential goods and services in order to make ends meet. Increased competition from online-only retailers and changing consumer preferences are also other issues that the industry needs to contend with.

Speciality retail experiences now seem to be the trend, as consumers increasingly seek visual and physical stimulation alongside themed shopping experiences that they can’t get when buying products online. Equally trending are hybrid online-offline shopping experiences where consumers can order products online and pick up their purchases in-store.

The industry now faces a hiring crunch, with an oversupply of jobs but not enough interested candidates for those roles. The current demand for more specialised retail experiences also increases the need for retail workers to have an overall pleasant personality, enthusiasm and strong communication skills in order to ensure the best customer experience.

In response, many retail employers have now increased pay and benefits for their roles, as well as codified more structured career progression opportunities within the industry. They have also shortened hiring cycles for roles, placing more of an emphasis on customer service and people skills over other qualifications.

Other key skills required in this industry now are a good eye for designing customer experiences, as well as IT skills in order to help companies digitize more and more of their operations to create seamless online-offline shopping experiences.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

The telecommunications industry in Malaysia began almost 150 years ago in 1874, with the implementation of the first telegraph line in Kuala Kangsar, Perak, connecting the British Resident there to the Deputy British Resident in Taiping. Since then, the industry has undergone multiple transformations to become the industry powerhouse it is today.

According to the Malaysian Department of Statistics, approximately 91 percent of Malaysia’s population owns and uses at least one smartphone. And while 90 percent of Malaysian households have access to the internet, 87 percent of that is accessed through mobile data connections instead of through home broadband. This clearly illustrates the importance of the telecommunications industry - especially in the area of mobile connectivity - as one of the key nerve centres of the nation.

The telecommunications industry falls under the direct purview of the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia, regulated by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). One of the MCMC’s main responsibilities is to work closely with the major telecommunications operators in Malaysia in order to improve the quality of mobile coverage, fixedline, overseas telephone and internet services.

As of 2021, the country’s major telcos have already started rolling out 5G mobile technology across the country in stages, in addition to improving mobile coverage in remote areas by building more 4G towers and migrating the remaining 3G subscribers to 4G. Retrofitting fibre-optic internet lines on top of existing legacy infrastructure is another major ongoing nationwide upgrade as well. These are all exciting developments that graduates keen on joining the industry can expect to witness during this time.

91 percent of Malaysia’s population owns at least one smartphone, and 87 percent access the internet through mobile data connections.

The telecommunications industry in Malaysia is being shaped by the growth of mobile internet and data services, the increasing popularity of over-thetop (OTT) streaming services, and the rise of 5G.

MALAYAN BANKING BERHAD (MAYBANK)

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a mission-critical piece of the Maybank culture. Our collective efforts in continuing to raise the value of DEI at the workplace have been wideranging and had started in earnest more than a decade ago, starting with our Human Capital Dashboard in 2009, a regular fact-based pulse check that enabled crafting of databased actions when finding solutions such as developing any initiatives to address any imbalances. It has been one of the tools enabling Maybank’s

many milestone successes thus far and was the genesis to the next step of our gender equality drive, which came in the form of our Group Inclusiveness and Diversity (GIDA) Framework in 2014. That framework outlines our commitment to ensure a sustainable commitment to have different nationalities, varying age groups, and socio-economic levels in our dynamic workforce. Through GIDA, our efforts were accelerated and outcomes are monitored through measures reflected on our Group EXCOs’ scorecards. We were also recognised by Bloomberg in

its 2022 Gender-Equality Index (GEI), a recognition we have been given since 2017. Today, we have evolved into many focus areas to ensure we present an inclusive workplace for Maybankers. This includes programmes such as our mental health programmes and allyship programme.

WORKPLACE CULTURE

Our workplace culture centers around our Core Values, TIGER (Teamwork, Integrity, Growth, Excellence & Efficiency, Relationship Building) which encapsulate what we believe and what we stand for. These are our essential guiding principles in all of our employees’ hearts and minds, especially for situations where the rule book provides no answers. As an organisation, we work together as a team in ensuring that diversity, equity and inclusion is reflected throughout our culture, by maintaining a workplace where all employees are treated fairly, with dignity and without discrimination. We are always passionate on growth to constantly strive for improvement and innovation. As Malaysia’s largest organisation, we are driven by excellence and efficiency as we are committed on delivering outstanding performances and superior services. We believe that a meaningful and enriching employee experience strengthens our values, products and services which creates an overall positive impact on our engagements, productivity and innovation – resulting in Maybank being recognised as Malaysia’s Most Preferred Employer.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Maybank emphasises on work-life integration as we believe that one’s work and personal life should complement each other. We give our employees the space and time for both their work and personal life in order to ensure that they can feel fulfilled in both aspects. With work-life integration, our employees can efficiently coordinate their workday schedules and personal responsibilities, ensuring personal and professional productivity and higher overall satisfaction. By doing so, our employees are able to give their equitable attention to all aspects of

their lives without feeling the need to sacrifice one over the other, allowing them to feel a sense of empowerment as they are in control of their own time and schedule.

STAFF BENEFITS & INCENTIVES

Maybank embraces a holistic Total Rewards Framework compromising of Total Compensation, Benefits & Wellbeing, Recognition, and Development & Career Opportunities. Employee benefits are a crucial component of our whole rewards management. Financial security, healthcare benefits, paid time off, employee loans at favorable rates, and other advantages that enhance work-life integration are all part of Maybank’s benefits programme. These are periodically examined to the standard practices in the industry and emerging trends in the context of the quickly shifting business environment.

To meet the demands of our employees’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being as well as their

financial, social, and professional requirements, we adopt an allencompassing approach to working that integrates sustainability considerations. To support our employees at all levels in a variety of flexible or customisable development programmes for longterm relevance, competitive advantage, and growth, we continue to implement best-in-class learning and development initiatives.

WORKING ARRANGEMENTS

The concept of flexible work arrangement is not unprecedented in Maybank even prior to the pandemic. In fact, we had implement our flexible work arrangement in 2009 in accordance to our Group-wide Work-Life Policy. Our flexible work arrangement also known as the Mobile Work Arrangement (MWA) policy provides our employee with the flexibility of their work time, schedule as well as work location. By doing so, we allow our employees to work whenever and wherever to encourage higher productivity.

WE AIM TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN ALL OUR COLLEAGUES BY ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A WORK ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES POSITIVE WELLBEING AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHOICES.

To help staff achieve work-life balance, MCMC offers flexible work policies and allows employees to work flexibly between the office and remote work, subject to approval. This approach helps enhance employee morale, physical well-being, and mental well-being. MCMC also conducted an Employee Pulse Survey, where a significant percentage of employees expressed support for work-life balance and flexibility, indicating that remote work has become part of the new working norm.

STAFF BENEFITS & INCENTIVES

In terms of staff benefits and incentives, MCMC provides a range of nonsalary perks known as “perks of being MCMCzens.” These include digital allowances, flexible working hours, various learning and development opportunities through platforms like i-learn, LinkedIn Learning, and Coursera, outfit allowances, maternity benefits, housing/vehicle loan interest subsidies, medical coverage, and childcare benefits. These benefits aim to support employees’ well-being and promote a healthy work-life balance.

WORKING ARRANGEMENTS

MCMC has implemented a comprehensive plan to ensure staff safety and health. Early preventive and precautionary measures were taken, including multiple COVID-19 testing for employees, contact tracing, and aggressive quarantine measures. MCMC also offers a COVID-19 vaccine to protect employees and their dependents and has implemented alternate working arrangements to minimise risk and ensure business continuity. Additionally, the organisation has set up the MCMC Kasih Careline Counselling Centre to provide support to employees during these challenging times.

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU STARTED OUT IN THIS LINE OF WORK, AND ABOUT YOUR PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY SO FAR?

Maybank was one of the employers at Taylor’s Crème de la Crème – a programme where several employers engage with top talents of the university. My journey started in 2021 when I was invited to join the Global Maybank Apprentice Programme (GMAP) Assessment Centre, where I took on real-world simulations that tested me on my decision-making skills, communication skills and agility, amongst others.

The GMAP programme allows me to explore the different departments and functions across the bank. I have since experienced rotations at the Maybank Business Centre, Group Human Capital, Maybank2u Marketing, and Corporate Banking. These rotations allowed me to understand cross departmental synergies and different ways of work.

One of my highlights would be when I was in Group Human Capital, where we pioneered a new initiative called GenM Summit, Maybank’s first youth summit. It didn’t come without its challenges, however, envisioning how the youth could create a community and work towards positive change for Maybank encouraged me to push through. GenM saw the participation of 1,000 Maybank youths and garnered 398 Maybank ideas.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO EXCEL IN YOUR WORK? PLEASE PROVIDE US AN EXAMPLE OF A PROJECT OR TASK WHERE YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND?

The ability to experience something new is my source of motivation, it could range from learning a new terminology or using a new software! One of the projects that I went above and beyond for would be GenM where I took on the role of a marketer and designer. Although it was within my field of study, I’d say that it’s totally different from what I studied since I had to churn out designs. and collaterals as

well as form marketing strategies to market GenM to our target audience. It was an experience in itself to see it come to fruition.

HOW DO YOU APPROACH PROBLEM-SOLVING? CAN YOU SHARE AN EXAMPLE OF A CHALLENGING SITUATION YOU FACED AND HOW YOU RESOLVED IT?

Coming from a field of study that rarely dealt with monetary numbers, then entering a bank was not the easiest transition. I was very unfamiliar with financial terminologies, reports and processes. One of my biggest challenges was to analyse a financial report of a large corporate. It was not an easy feat but I resolved it by researching for explanations and reaching out to colleagues when uncertainties arose. Eventually, I could understand the important elements of a report to get a better understanding of how a corporate operates as well as its financial health.

WHAT ESSENTIAL SKILLS DO YOU THINK ARE NEEDED FOR YOUR ROLE?

One of the essential skills is to be adaptable. As you would be going through rotations and being in different departments every few months, you have to be able to adapt quickly and appropriately to that department’s working environment. Another skill is to be resourceful. You’d definitely need to use your environment to your advantage and your creativity to solve problems that arise.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR YOUR FELLOW GRADUATES/JUNIORS?

My advice to all the students out there is to go beyond your studies. I would recommend those who have the time, to get a part-time job, as it allows you to learn how to be resourceful and resilient. For those who may not have the time for a job, do go beyond your university learnings by doing online courses as these may be applicable in the working world or try joining events/competitions that push you out of your comfort zone to instill agility and adaptability in your university years.

Being adaptable and resourceful is an added advantage to your career

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU STARTED OUT IN THIS LINE OF WORK, AND ABOUT YOUR PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY SO FAR?

I began my journey at MCMC in 2010 as an Assistant Director of Market Research Department. I joined MCMC because I am curious and wanted to explore the working environment within a government agency. In 2017, I was promoted to the position of Deputy Director in the Market Intelligence Department (previously known as the Market Research Department). During my tenure, I served as an analyst/ researcher cum designer, responsible for conducting extensive research on the Communications and Multimedia (C&M) industry and writing insightful research reports. This career phase allowed me to develop a unique set of skills, effectively merging datadriven insights with compelling visual presentations.

In 2022, I embraced a new chapter in my professional journey as I was transferred and promoted to the role of Head of Department in the Research Enterprise Department.

In addition, I reached out to experienced colleagues and supervisors for guidance and support. Their expertise and advice provide valuable perspectives, shortcuts, and best practices that help me navigate through uncertainties and overcome obstacles more effectively.

“MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY THUS FAR HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF GROWTH, LEARNING, AND ADAPTABILITY.”

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU STARTED OUT IN THIS LINE OF WORK, AND ABOUT YOUR PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY SO FAR?

I initially joined Standard Chartered as an intern last year before transitioning to a full-time role as a Junior Cloud Engineer. As a graduate in Computer Science, I’ve always been interested in exploring the banking industry and gaining insight into its inner workings during this era of digital transformation. Although there is a stereotype that working in a bank is challenging, I am drawn to challenges and chose to intern at a bank for this reason. I was particularly interested in Standard Chartered because of its well-known global footprint, which offers ample opportunities to work on various projects, learn from experienced professionals worldwide, and gain valuable experience overall.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO EXCEL IN YOUR WORK?

PLEASE PROVIDE US AN EXAMPLE OF A PROJECT OR TASK WHERE YOU WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND?

My proudest achievement is successfully completing an automation project during my internship. This project was a significant challenge for me since I had never worked with automation before and my knowledge was limited. Previously, data had to be manually imported each time, and visualisations had to be built, which consumed a lot of time. However, this project reduced the manual work required to complete that task, and now my team can generate monthly reports automatically by simply running the codes. This has made it easy for my team to view an automated dashboard and analyse it for various business purposes accordingly.

To accomplish this project, I utilised various new tools and technology stacks that I had never used before. This not only helped me expand

my skillset but also made me more confident in my abilities to learn and adapt to new technologies. Additionally, the project significantly reduced the risk of human errors, which is a critical factor in data analysis. Completing this project on time and delivering it successfully with the support and guidance of my manager was an incredible accomplishment. It was a great experience for me to work with my team, collaborate with different teams, and learn from their perspectives; making me feel more integrated and productive within the company.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR YOUR FELLOW GRADUATES/JUNIORS?

Building a career in tech can be a highly rewarding and fulfilling experience. Building a successful career in tech as a young woman requires a combination of hard work, dedication and self-belief. It is important to have confidence in your abilities and not let anyone else’s opinions or biases hold you back. Continuously learning about the latest trends and technologies in the industry is essential as the tech industry is constantly evolving. Building a strong skillset is vital for success in tech. I believe networking is crucial in any industry. There are various communities today for the tech industry that will help in connecting with other professionals in the field and which eventually will lead to your next big opportunity. Seeking out mentors who can provide guidance and support is also incredibly valuable. I believe with hard work and dedication, one can achieve anything they set their mind to. Be persistent and keep working towards your goals. As you build your career, it’s important to inspire and mentor other young women to pursue similar paths and make a meaningful impact in the tech industry.

I believe with hard work and dedication, one can achieve anything they set their mind to.

EMPLOYEE VALUE PROPOSITION AS A MAGNET FOR ATTRACTING TOP TALENTS

AIA Shared Service’s commitment to help people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives underpins everything they do, and this extends to their efforts to attract and retain critical talent via a strong Employee Value Proposition.

The Employee Value Proposition (EVP) covers the unique set of benefits that an employee receives in return for the capabilities, skills, and experience they bring to an organisation. In today’s constantly-evolving job market driven by technology, changing demographics and new work models shaped largely by the pandemic, attracting and retaining top talent has become more important than ever. Beyond offering competitive salaries and benefits, AIA Shared Services recognises that a strong EVP should be fit for a new era of work, and ultimately tuned in to what employees and potential employees really want.

With Millenials comprising almost 90 percent of the workforce at AIA Shared Services, this vibrant group plays a crucial role as employees and the next generation to take the lead as the future of the company. They are entering the workforce with different expectations than previous generations, with many prioritising work-life balance, and purpose and meaning in their work compared to traditional notions of job security and financial stability.

For AIA, this meant having to look through the lens of multiple generations and finding a different approach that would resonate with every layer of the workforce. With this in mind and taking into account the strategic aspects of the employee experience, AIA Group crafted a new,

distinctly articulated Employee Value Proposition which was then cascaded across the organisation.

An EVP grounded in truth

In the process of coming up with the new EVP, a robust, dedicated taskforce was mobilised and over 35,000 data points were utlilised from a variety of sources across the AIA Group. Insights and feedback was gathered from a broad range of stakeholders across key regions, asking crucial questions and delving into the company’s DNA to identify what truly sets the company apart as a desirable place to work.

One of the key insights from this major exercise was that being ‘The Best’ shouldn’t be the goal – because ‘best’ denotes a ceiling, a pinnacle to be achieved, while striving to be ‘better’ has no set limitations. The process of being better pushes an individual to constantly improve and progress, thus making the entire endeavour a personal journey of growth rather than aiming for a single point of destination.

From the spark of this collaborative, multi-regional, and cross-functional undertaking came the phrase “Believe in Better” – around which the entire philosophy of the EVP was derived. At its core, EVP prioritises empowering individuals to not only excel in their roles but also to cultivate authentic connections within the organisation. By creating an inclusive and supportive work environment, individuals are encouraged to unleash their full potential and embark on a journey of continuous growth. In embracing this approach, AIA elevates their employees beyond mere team members; they become a tightlyknit community, united by a shared purpose and a commitment to driving transformative change.

The spirit of Believing in Better

Cathlyn Chong, Head of Human Resources at AIA Shared Services shared her thoughts around the philosophy of AIA’s EVP: “Our EVP is a manifestation of our Healthier, Longer,

Better Lives purpose. This is about attracting and inspiring our own people and the wider market through the voice of our brand.

“A strong, purpose-led EVP will support us in delivering an authentic representation of who we are as an employer and has the power to attract the very best talent to AIA through shared values and common purpose, while empowering our people to thrive at work and in life.

“That’s why ‘Believe in Better’ is such a simple yet powerful phrase that resonates with our people because it can be applied to anyone, regardless of where they are in their personal or professional journey. The interpretation of ‘Believe in Better’ is also open for people to relate it to stories from their own experience.

“It could be a story of personal transformation of growth, or overcoming a challenge to come out stronger, or coming up with an idea that benefited many, or the quiet power in standing up for what you believe in – the stories are endless and are as varied and colourful as the diversity of our people who are ultimately our greatest strength.

“There is no limit to how far better can take us. Once we find that

irresistible driving force to bring us forward, it fuels us to be better each day in order to make a difference for those we serve and the communities and environments we live in. This is what Believing in Better is all about.”

A culture of #BetterTogether

“A successful EVP needs to be applied and integrated through each stage of the employee experience – this is what we’ve done and continue to do to retain our people and attract top talents in the industry.

“Connecting to our people across the generational divide isn’t just about hybrid working and free coffee and snacks; it’s about listening to the talent and understanding their unique wants and needs. It’s about building real relationships and empowering our people to achieve goals that are relevant and compelling in terms of today’s career and life priorities.

“Since returning to office just over a year ago, we have listened to feedback from the ground and worked hard on creating an environment where people from different units and departments can come together and get to know each other better through fun and engaging on-site activities and events.

“Festive celebrations are always an exciting time at the office, but we also hold events like Movie Day, Health Carnival, Fruit Day, Inter-Department Sports, Town Hall, Mental Health Appreciation Month, Annual Dinner – the list goes on. Our ever-active company intranet also keeps everyone updated on the latest goings-on, with regular polls and contests to maintain the momentum of an already vibrant workforce.

“Coupled with our Employee Assistance Programme that was implemented just before the first Movement Control Order (MCO) in 2020, we ensure that there is also a strong focus on mental health and overall employee wellbeing. Working and partnering with a digital health provider, we offer end-to-end support and the proper channels to resolve any challenges our people may face – be it from a mental resilience, physical wellbeing or even financial know-how perspective. Along with the use of a digital health app, there is also a 24hour careline, health webinars and live talks, health screenings, one-to-one remote therapy with a certified clinical psychologist, and access to a wealth of educational resources on emotional wellness and physical health topics. These are just some of the services and offerings we have in place to inspire and propel our people to perform at their best.

“Coming back to the objective, a well-defined and compelling EVP not only attracts talent but also serves as the bedrock of a thriving, sustainable, and future-forward organisation like AIA Shared Services. Embracing the EVP is not merely an option; it is the key to unlocking the full potential of the workforce and charting a course towards unprecedented success.

“You can be sure that there will be more exciting things to come as we build on our culture of #BetterTogether, one that supports our people and creates an environment for them to be their best selves and live the true spirit of “Believe in Better.”

The Commission was established in 1998, a pivotal time that witnessed the birth and explosive growth of Malaysia's convergent communications and multimedia sector. The dawn of this new era demanded innovative approaches to media policies and regulation, prompting the enactment of two groundbreaking legislations: the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Act (1998). These landmark laws solidified the foundation for a progressive regulatory model that has paved the way for the industry's remarkable evolution.

With the advent of the new regulatory framework, MCMC assumed a paramount role in overseeing the convergence of telecommunications, broadcasting, and online activities. This comprehensive oversight aligns seamlessly with the national policy objectives delineated in the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA) and extends to encompass the domain of postal services digital certifications as well.

Vision:

At the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), our vision is to forge a communications and multimedia industry that stands as a paragon of competitiveness, efficiency, and self-regulation. Driven by this vision, we aspire to foster growth that effectively addresses

the economic and societal needs of Malaysia, contributing to the nation's progress on both fronts.

Mission:

• Promoting Access to Communications and Multimedia Services

• Ensuring Consumer Choice and Satisfaction

• Facilitating Fair Competition and Transparent Regulatory Processes

• Optimising Spectrum and Number Resources
