Aiming to recognize and encourage HR best practices in Myanmar, the final judging for the third year of Myanmar Employer Awards was conducted in October 2019. A total of eighteen judges with international and local backgrounds, along with the help of Head Judge Prof. Dr. Aung Tun Thet, Former Economic Advisor to the President of Myanmar, spent a full day narrowing down the field from hundreds of applicants to Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners across the below categories.
Based on the scoring of the participants’ applications for the Myanmar Employer Awards on the final judging day, which Deloitte Myanmar verified to ensure fairness and transparency throughout the process, finalists of the upcoming Myanmar Employer Awards have been revealed here ahead of the prestigious Gala Night on the 7th December at Novotel Yangon Max, in the heart of Myanmar’s economic hub. From the vast number of entrants for the 2019 Awards, finalists were selected based on their commitment to business objectives, relevance and significance, innovation, and creativity in HR practices.
