ABeam Consulting Malaysia triumphs at Malaysia Management Excellence Awards 2024

The company won for empowering employees and building an innovative workplace culture.

ABeam Consulting Malaysia Sdn Bhd is redefining the workplace culture with a forward-thinking approach that combines engagement, inclusivity, and employee well-being. The company’s dedication to fostering a dynamic and empowering work environment has earned it the prestigious Employee Engagement of the Year – IT Services award at the Malaysia Management Excellence Awards 2024.

At the heart of ABeam’s success lies its mission to "Engage and Elevate." Through a wide range of carefully crafted programmes, ABeam has cultivated an environment where employees feel valued and supported. The company’s initiatives not only prioritise transparency and open communication but also ensure professional development, work-life balance, and physical and mental well-being for their employees.

One of ABeam’s flagship initiatives is the “Chit Chat with MD” programme, an innovative, interactive platform where employees engage in open dialogues with the Managing Director. Highlighting the “Bottom-Up” Approach, these sessions encourage two-way communication and provide invaluable insights that shape organisational development, reinforcing that every employee’s voice matters. To maintain a strong workplace environment, ABeam also conducts an annual employee engagement survey, known as “Great Firm To Work – Your Voice Makes A Difference,” to emphasise freedom of voice for the employees.

In addition to supporting employee well-being, ABeam’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offers tailored approach coping strategies for mental health and well-being needs that not only elevate productivity at the workplace but also allow the employees to strive through in their personal space. Understanding the importance of overall well-being, ABeam offers a range of wellness programmes, including Well-binars and expert-led discussions on health and wellness topics.

The Flexi-Workstyle programme is highly celebrated amongst the employees as it gives them the flexibility to come to the office once a week, encouraging work-life balance and to accommodate personal time for family and friends, or for self-growth and self-care practices.

ABeam’s most celebrated programme, “Hula Hoop Time,” is a fun, interactive team-building initiative that fosters collaboration and cohesion within the team. This programme has boosted engagement within the ABeam community, promoting a productive and positive work environment.

ABeam’s commitment to recognising achievements is highlighted through its Employee Recognition efforts to nurture a strong sense of motivation and appreciation to the employees. This is celebrated in the ABeam community, ensuring that one achievement is an achievement for all.

ABeam’s employee-centric approach promotes learning and development as part of their well-being programme. ABeam offers a self-paced E-learning platform that enables employees to enhance skills or acquire new ones at their own convenience for personal and professional growth, empowering their self-confidence and sense of accomplishment.

Digital platform Viva Engage is the social layer for ABeam, where employees connect, share ideas, and celebrate achievements. This platform cultivates harmony and diversity in ABeam’s work culture as it gives employees the chance to engage and network even whilst working remotely.

Their holistic approach to employee engagement extends beyond traditional workplace practices that include corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and collaborating with NGOs. Employees are encouraged to participate in community outreach programmes such as tree planting drives, food distribution efforts, and more. This approach not only contributes to strengthening interpersonal bonds amongst employees, but it also empowers them by giving them a sense of belonging in the community and a chance to make a difference, no matter how small.

ABeam is not only setting a new standard to engage and elevate employee experience in the industry but to also create a workplace where employees can thrive. Through its innovative programmes, commitment to diversity and proactive engagement strategies, ABeam is proving that a supportive, inclusive, and fun workplace is key to building lasting success—one where employees feel valued and motivated to contribute to the company’s continued growth. This resonates with their brand slogan “Build Beyond As One” signifying growth in unity, unlocking the power of vision, and unleashing potential together as one team.
