PH Embassy in KL Recognizes ‘Model Employers’ of OFWs
MANILA – Thirteen companies based in Malaysia were recognized for their being model employers of Filipino workers, the Philippine embassy in Kuala Lumpur said.
“People are a nation’s best resource, and so it is with companies. Employees are a company’s best asset. Deal with them fairly, and they will give you back a hundred fold in terms of productivity and loyalty,” Philippine Ambassador to Malaysia J. Eduardo Malaya said.
Malaya and Labor Attache Elizabeth Marie Estrada bestowed plaques of commendation to the following companies:
Resorts World Genting (Genting Malaysia Bhd)
Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd
MMC Oil & Gas Sdn Bhd
iTac MSC Outsourcing Sdn Bhd
Jabil Circuit Sdn Bhd
Infineon Technologies (Kulim) Sdn Bhd
AIG Shared Services (M) Sdn Bhd
Encora Technologies Sdn Bhd
Renesas Semiconductor KL Sdn
Schlumberger Business Support Hub Sdn Bhd
KNM Process System Sdn Bhd
Technip Geoproduction Sdn Bhd
Sapura Kenchana HL Sdn Bhd
“These companies have not only benefited much from their engagement of Filipino professionals and skilled workers but also have been our steadfast partners in safeguarding the rights and welfare of their workers. We are recognizing them today, with the hope that other employers would follow their good examples,” Malaya added.
They will also comprise the short-list of nominees for Malaysia for the ministerial-level and presidential level awards for model employers, which will be announced later this year in Manila.
“Filipino workers around the world are well regarded because of their competence, hard work, English proficiency, and positive work ethic. We are glad that Malaysian companies have seen their exemplary value,” the ambassador said.
The companies were chosen based on their track record on employee protection and welfare promotion. They also have programs on employee welfare and have no complaints pending against them.
Numerous Filipino workers in Malaysia are in the services, IT, engineering, entertainment and teaching sectors.
