Employee Satisfaction
GAB’s first ever Employee Satisfaction Survey
was conducted in November 2007 by our HR
Department, and the results and proposed actions
were communicated via the internal newsletter.
The survey’s top line results indicated that most
employees were satisfied working at GAB (15% of
employees were very satisfied working at GAB and
49% were more than satisfied).
In FY08 and FY09, GAB participated in the Diageo
Values Survey, which replaced its Employee
Satisfaction Survey. Over the years, we have shown
steady improvements. The FY08 results indicated that
a majority of our employees had strong belief in GAB
and in its goals and objectives, and would recommend
GAB as a good place to work while the FY09 results
registered score improvements in all areas especially
in the demand-side of the business. We have just
completed the Diageo Values Survey for FY10 and
the results will be shared with all employees in
due course.
Award Winning Employer
For the year under review, GAB won the StarBiz-ICR
Malaysia Corporate Responsibility (CR) Awards in
the ‘Workplace’ Category and Silver for the Global
CSR Awards, in the Workplace Excellence category,
recognising our efforts to create a winning workplace
through initiatives such as 7 HR Pillars and TPM.
These awards are testament to GAB’s comprehensive
Corporate Responsibility programme, which is fully
integrated into the business as the winning companies
needed to demonstrate strong performance
in Environmental, Community Programme and
Workplace Excellence before being shortlisted. Under
the Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Award (AREA)
2009, GAB won the ‘Investment in People’ category
for its policies and programmes that demonstrates
our commitment to providing opportunities for people
to grow and reach their potential.
On top of that, GAB also received the Silver Recognition
in the HR Excellence Category of the Malaysia HR
Award, which recognises sustained and continuous
commitment to develop human talent, in tandem with
the nation’s needs. The event, which is organised
by the Malaysian Institute of Human Resources,
acknowledges GAB as one of the best amongst the
most outstanding companies in the country.
GAB was also the winner of Diageo Asia Pacific
Market of the Year Award 2009, which recognises a
business that has displayed continuous improvement
in every aspect of the business. This award
acknowledges the efforts and contribution of the
people at GAB and demonstrates that together, we
are truly ewing success.
For three consecutive years (2006-2008), GAB won
the Guinness League of Excellence Award for the best
quality Guinness brewed outside of Ireland and for
the second consecutive year, we won the Tiger Quality
Award in recognition of our top-quality brew.
