  • 19 Mar 2024

OCBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad (OCBC Bank) has been named one of the Kincentric Best Employers for Malaysia in 2023, the only bank to be listed in the ranking this year.

The award comes on the back of the Bank’s rollout of its people-centred, forward-looking, and development-oriented initiatives such as Future Smart, a skills-based development initiative to ensure employees are prepared for the future of work through upskilling and reskilling programmes, leadership series for employees of all ranks, as well as mentoring opportunities across the Bank. OCBC also promotes talent mobility across the Group, and job rotations to allow employees develop new competencies through self-directed personal learning.

OCBC Bank Head of Human Resources Ms Kok Lai Ching said the award reflects the Bank’s focus on recognising its people as its key asset.

“I am delighted that OCBC Bank has been honoured yet again with the Kincentric Best Employers Award for Malaysia. This notable recognition is a testament to our dedication and unwavering commitment to fostering a positive and engaged work environment for our employees - the key asset of the organisation - to grow their career with us.

“I would like to thank my colleagues for their strong engagement to our organisation and their commitment to serve our customers. This accolade will undoubtedly serve as a catalyst to further enhance and sustain our engagement initiatives, propelling us towards even greater success as we continue to enable people and communities around us realise their aspirations.  For now, and beyond,” she said.

OCBC Bank received the Kincentric Best Employers Award in 2016, 2017 and 2019 as well.

Backed by 50 years of employee research, Kincentric measures and identifies Best Employers around the world – those who create differentiated employee experiences and build agile, inclusive cultures, where people feel empowered and inspired to do their best, every day. In Malaysia it awarded the Best Employer title to 7 organisations for 2023.

Congratulating OCBC Bank on its win, Kincentric Partner and Country Head Ms Ridhima Khanduja said OCBC Bank has been an active participant in the Kincentric Best Employers Malaysia surveys for more than a decade.
