Indeed, Top Glove’s unwavering focus on employee well-being has seen it investing in several initiatives including fully subsidised annual medical check-ups, a company gym to which employees have free access, as well as regular health education talks. The company also has in place a robust L&D strategy to ensure its people are well-equipped to support the company’s ambitious growth agenda. In addition, Top Glove is a strong proponent of Honesty, Integrity and Transparency which represent the company’s Business Ethics, and also advocates corporate values of Respect, Integrity, Value, Empowerment and Relationship, as represented by the acronym R.I.V.E.R.

Participating in award programs is also an integral part of Top Glove’s commitment towards continuous improvement, as this presents an opportunity for the company to benchmark itself against the best in class and identify areas in which to do better.
