KUALA LUMPUR, 20 June – Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) announced the launch of LIFE AT WORK Awards 2024 (LAWA 2024) to celebrate employers with leading workplace policies in line with their commitment to the Diversity, Equity, And Inclusivity (DEI) agenda.

To meet the demands of today’s rapidly evolving landscape, TalentCorp Group CEO Thomas Mathew has introduced five new LAWA categories to recognise exceptional contributions in key areas such as sustainable environmental practices, green technology innovation, and technology for inclusion.
