“Myanmar Employer Awards (MEA) 2018 will be held on November 30,” said Matt De Luca, Managing Director of Jobnet.com.mm, the Myanmar Employer Award’s (MEA) supporting partner. MEA committee will accept the applicants starting on July 6 and closing date is August 23 to support and encourage excellence in human resource management.
Matt De Luca, Managing Director of Jobnet.com.mm said, “The Myanmar Employer Awards serve to support and recognize employers for their outstanding achievements and consistent efforts in effective HR best practices, including work-place culture and environment. Growing competition among companies to attract and retain employees meant that it is especially important to develop the human resources management behaviour throughout the country.” Yangon Region Chief Minister U Phyo Min Thein received Myanmar Employer Awards committee on June 19 at Yangon Region Government office. During the meeting, matters relating to the vision and mission of the Myanmar Employer Awards were discussed. During his address to the MEA committee, he welcomed the MEA’s Program, saying that it will strongly support the development of the human resources and private sector.
He also said, “The Myanmar Employer Awards will bring good things for our country. Strong competition is accelerating development and change. The Myanmar Employer Awards will support the development of employment and private sector.” The Myanmar Employer Awards in 2017 attracted 130 competitor companies, and they are expecting around 250 companies to participate this year. Over the course of six months, teams and organisations – local and international – will be assessed independently based on their individual merits in planning and executing effective best practices. Finalists will be announced in November in the weeks leading up to the awards night.
