Talent Attraction and Retention
We are complying with local minimum wages and the ratios of standard entry level wage compared to local minimum wage of both male and female employee is greater than one.
86.10% of overall retention rate
We calibrate employee lifecycle processes through insights gathered from labor market scenarios, strategy meet sessions, the Global Employee Engagement survey, and focus group discussions. This calibration is underpinned by data analytics to identify the best options for talent retention.
Note: Turnover rates have been recalculated and restated using a more stringent definition and methodology.
Beginning in 2018, we have relied increasingly on data analytics, which is one of the best approaches to identifying hot-spots requiring a response. Retention interventions were crafted by understanding a Business Unit’s specific needs, with appropriate action taken at the country, regional or global level.
To better understand and analyze our data, we implemented a new methodology with a change of concept that expands the focus area by covering all of the group’s employees including newly acquired units and additional voluntary reasons as well.
In 2024, our overall attrition rate was 13.90%. This is a result of our rapid growth due to the large number of acquisitions in 2024 resulting in the integration of more than 28,000 employees across the globe.
We believe a firm foundation will lead to sustainable and positive changes. We have begun to deliver a global platform in many HR-related areas that are aligned with our strategic long-term HR priorities as follows:
- SAP HR/; Began a detailed feasibility study in 2019 together with a project to configure our systems, ensuring they are aligned with the new HR global processes in 2020 and to prepare and implement an effective and efficient global HR platform covering the key HR processes.
- Talent Acquisition and Management: Began a detailed feasibility study and initiated a project to deploy Succession Planning scoping from the top level down to N-3 levels in 2020.
- HR Function Capabilities and Engagement: To strengthen merger & acquisitions; skills and benefits; and engage all HR managers in projects, process design and policy setting.
- Global Employee Engagement: We decided to move the yearly GEE process to every second year to ensure a deeper review of the feedback given by employees, and improved implementation of the initiatives as per the feedback from the engagement process before we further approach our employees for the survey. We plan to rollout a new and more efficient GEE program in 2021 which promotes diversity, delegation, trust, and inclusive management.
Workforce Engagement
In 2020, we launched a new Employee Engagement approach to help us to understand how we can better engage our workforce and create a workplace of choice.
Our approach considers the different touchpoints during our employees’ journeys with Indorama Ventures and focuses on identifying and enabling the right actions. Therefore, we deploy a mixed approach, one of which is the Global Employee Engagement survey.
Maintain an Employee Net Promoter Score (NPS)
≥ 70% starting from 2024.
The Global Employee Engagement survey is carried out every two years and measures:
- Survey Participation: 88.36%

- To prioritize the well-being of our employees, we introduced two new criteria to gather relevant insight. This includes:
- Our company ensures my well-being and health.
- Achieving a balance in my personal and work life is attainable.
The findings and feedback from the surveys provide actionable insights and suggestions on how we can further collaborate with our employees to build a work environment that inspires and empowers them to give their best. Moreover, these inputs support the HR team in designing tailored initiatives that resonate with our workforce, ultimately allowing every employee to be actively engaged as a valued contributor. A series of initiatives launched in this year focused on enhancing the quality of life and well-being of our employees. These initiatives aim to encourage professional growth, improve work-life balance, and strengthen our company culture.
Additionally, we host regular interactions, including organizational announcements, annual updates on HR plans, and HR Quarterly Connect meetings, ensuring a dynamic channel for communication and connection. This integrated approach underscores our commitment to building and sustaining a workplace where employee engagement and well-being are integral to our organizational values.
Enhancing Well-Being and Work-Life Balance
Employee well-being is not only an issue of individual satisfaction, happiness, and health, but also a key factor for organizational performance and sustainability that considers the multiple dimensions of human experience: physical, mental, emotional, and social. This means providing employees with the necessary resources, support, and opportunities to enhance their health, well-being, and fulfillment at work.
Our holistic “Corporate Well-being Reinvention” approach guides us in enhancing employee well-being by integrating it into our core strategy. This plan emphasizes the importance of addressing physical, mental, emotional, and social health in the workplace. It offers practical strategies and case studies to help leaders create a supportive environment that boosts productivity and overall success.
