Cardinal Health APAC named Employer of Choice for a second consecutive year

SINGAPORE - Aug. 9, 2021 - PRLog -- For a second consecutive year, Cardinal Health Asia Pacific has made Human Resources Director Asia's Employer of Choice 2021 awards. This much-coveted list recognises the region's exceptional companies and organisations for their consistent achievements across various areas such as leadership, L&D, well-being, and diversity and inclusion.

"Being able to claim the status of Employer of Choice isn't easy by any standard, but doing so during a pandemic suggests having gone above and beyond the call of duty," says the Human Resources Director team. "Besides offering the usual slew of policies and benefits to sustain a positive employee experience, this year's winners of HRD's 5-Star Employer of Choice Awards have supported staff through an overwhelming business and personal crisis."

"In April 2021, the call went out for submissions for HRD's Employer of Choice awards. Organisations of all sizes and across all industries in Asia were encouraged to participate. The judging panel considered both qualitative and quantitative data, such as engagement survey results, average employee tenure and turnover rate. This year, 21 companies have been commended for their achievements and selected as HRD's Employers of Choice for 2021."

Cardinal Health's APAC leadership team plays a key role in maintaining company culture and sustaining engagement through proactive support for employee development. The company embeds its corporate behaviours and values through role modelling and regular interaction with staff. Management's efforts to communicate with employees and collaborate with HR to identify areas of improvement in the past 12 months have led to higher levels of employee satisfaction compared with the previous year.

Another core value at Cardinal Health is inclusion, which is crucial to business success, especially because of a highly diverse work­force of over 6,000 employees spread across nine countries in the Asia-Pacific region. This diversity is reflected in their multicultural APAC leadership team. Efforts to drive a culture of inclusivity include embedding D&I values in recruitment and management practices, enabling employee resource groups, consistent commu­nication and establishing D&I teams to engage with local employees. Most of all, Cardinal Health values well-being and strives to help employees find the right balance between their work and personal life.
