Global technology solutions provider Arrow
Electronics, Inc., today announced that it has been named to HR Asia’s “Best Companies to Work for in
Asia” in Hong Kong for 2018. This
follows last December’s announcement in which Arrow was named by the same
publication as the “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” for 2017 in Singapore
and Malaysia. Arrow was also
recognized by HR Asia Awards in Hong Kong and Singapore, respectively, in 2015.
Simon Yu, president of Arrow’s components business in the Asia-Pacific region, received HR Asia’s “Best Companies to Work for in Asia” Award in Hong Kong for 2018 last Friday, recognizing the company’s commitment to building a fulfilling and inspiring workplace for employees
Based
on HR Asia’s own proprietary survey
encompassing employee feedback alongside presentations from management,
companies were also judged by an independent panel of industry experts,
academics, journalists, and government representatives.
“Many
of the winning companies have workplace practices that are the best in the
world, with their employees enjoying job high satisfaction. These companies
think beyond policies and focus on developing their talents and establishing
balanced work-life culture,” said William Ng, group publisher and
editor-in-chief of Business Media International, the publisher of HR Asia.
“Arrow
is honored to be recognized once again as HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for,” said Simon Yu, president of Arrow’s
components business in the Asia-Pacific region.
“We are committed to building a fulfilling and inspiring workplace for
our employees to thrive and excel as we guide our customers, technology
suppliers and business partners to navigate a complex world, transforming
innovative ideas into influential and practical technology solutions that
improve people’s lives.”
The
judgements are based on three main categories
of corporate life: employee engagement,
workplace culture and staff development opportunities, measured in part by the
company’s employee turnover rate, employee growth rate and workplace accident
rate, among other criteria. Arrow scored higher than the industry
average in the areas of “Heart”, “Mind” and Soul”.
Vivian Kwok, Arrow’s
vice president, human resources for the Asia-Pacific region said, “Arrow
fosters a diverse and inclusive environment that encourages an open exchange of
ideas, where all employees are valued and respected. We continue to build out
our human resources strategy and capabilities that enable us to enhance
employee experience, advance our talent management, and leverage digital technology
tools in support of the company’s sustainable growth and development.”
Arrow
was also awarded with “5 Years-Plus Caring
Company Logo” by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) last year,
recognising the company’s continuous commitment to caring for its staff and
capitalising on its strengths and resources to give back to the community for
five consecutive years.
