KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 18 — Malaysia-based infrastructure company Gamuda Berhad is the sole Malaysian company to make it to Forbes’ World’s Best Employer 2020 list.
The company came in 44th in a ranking of 50 companies worldwide.
According to Forbes, it partnered with market research firm Statista to compile the ranking by surveying 160,000 full-time and part-time workers from 58 countries and working for businesses with operations in multiple nations or regions.
