Eleven Thai companies yesterday received Best Employers Thailand Awards 2015 from Aon Hewitt, an Illinois-based talent and human resources consultancy.
They are Advanced Contact Center Co, Advanced Info Service Plc (AIS), American Express (Thai), DHL Express International (Thailand), Marriott International Thailand, McThai Co, Minor Food Group, Moccona (Thailand), Nu Skin Enterprises (Thailand), Siam Cement (Kaeng Khoi) and The Pizza Company.
Advanced Contact Center was crowned Best of the Best, while DHL Express received the Commitment to Engagement award and The Pizza Company took home the Generation Y award.
The Aon Hewitt programme is the most comprehensive of its kind in Asia-Pacific. It aims to gain insights into companies that are creating real competitive advantage through their people, to explore what makes a workplace of choice and to identify the best employers.
An award means a company inspires strong commitment and superior performance from its people. It drives business results through effective people practices and manages its business in ways that build long-term sustainability.
"Best employers clearly achieve better results compared with the market," said Jeremy Andrulis, chief executive of Aon Hewitt Southeast Asia.
Adisak Chandprapalert, managing director of Aon Hewitt (Thailand), said there was a significant gap between 88% of staff at best employers believing their organisation delivered on promises compared with only 62% of employees at participating organisations.
"This goes to reinforce the value of a brand for Thai employers when it comes to attracting and engaging the best-performing talent," he said.
Vilasinee Puddhikarant, chief customer officer at AIS, said its award truly reflected the company's talent management and care for employees, who are a precious resource and vital to sustainability.
Pattamawalai Ratanapol, chief operating officer at Minor Food Group, said the company had focused on maximising its people's potential.
