employer branding is key to post-COVID success

Jaya Dass, Managing Director at Randstad Singapore and Malaysia said, “We would like to congratulate the winners of the Randstad Employer Brand Awards on their achievement of building and sustaining a strong employer brand during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“2020 has been one of the most challenging years for all employers in Malaysia. The crisis has underscored the critical importance of a powerful employer brand to an organisation’s success and ability to emerge stronger from the pandemic. Many extraordinary employers have worked hard these past 12 months to ensure the safety of their employees while managing the serious economic consequences. Even as Malaysia is not out of the woods, we are confident that the economy will make a strong comeback in time to come. We hope to see local employers continue to foster meaningful relationships with their workers and strive to be the ‘people’s choice’ for work.”
