Carried out by AIA in partnership with RAND Europe and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, this comprehensive science-backed study polled a total of 117 companies of small, medium and large sizes located in urban areas across Malaysia and 11,551 employees between May and July 2018 to gather insights on workplace health and wellbeing. This year’s participants have more than doubled from last year’s, indicating corporate Malaysia’s growing interest to find out where they stand, as well as their commitment to providing a better workplace for their employees.

The winners for each award category are as follows: 1.
