Kumpulan Wang Persaraan (Diperbadankan) triumphantly secured the Best HR Team award at the 2025-2026 HR Stars Awards Malaysia, earning top honours for transforming its HR department into a high-performing strategic delivery unit that drives large-scale organisational change. The team’s recognisable effort is rooted in its ability to manage a high-stakes national mandate, safeguarding the retirement security of over a million civil servants and hundreds of thousands of pensioners, by moving completely away from the passive role of a traditional back-office support function. Rather than operating in isolated silos, the department engineered a highly disciplined operational model that absorbs intense industry pressures collectively, establishing a workplace culture intentionally structured around shared accountability, psychological safety, and absolute operational resilience.
To sustain this high-intensity, continuous-delivery environment, the team introduced an exceptionally recognisable collaboration structure anchored in their unique PEKA philosophy, which demands that performance always be delivered alongside character. The department relies on rigorous daily and weekly coordination sessions paired with agile, cross-functional task forces to manage multiple complex corporate initiatives concurrently under highly visible and immovable timelines. By explicitly practising open escalation without fear and rapid problem-solving without individual blame, team members consistently close ranks to support one another past normal working hours during peak operational cycles. This deep internal synergy successfully turned culture into a direct piece of leadership accountability, ensuring that complex human capital programmes are executed with intense speed and precision without ever compromising on strict governance or organisational ethics.
The unified team efforts delivered national talent programmes, automated analytics, and flawless governance. Their cohesive human resource engine successfully secured this sustainable enterprise growth.
