ABOVE MARKET REMUNERATION & RECOGNITION
UHY strongly believes that a motivated high performing team is the key
to many breakthroughs achieved by any companies. Holding on to this,
we have designed attractive remuneration packages to suffi ciently reward
the high performing employees. As part of our employee value proposition
was to maintain long term partnership with our employees, we value
loyalty and offer special incentives as part of our gesture of appreciation.
We pride ourselves as a company offering one of the most competitive
remuneration in the industry. In 2017, total promoted employees have
increased 3 times compared to the past 3 years.

THE DREAM TEAM: SUPERSTARS UHY puts a lot of efforts in
engaging with employees, internally and externally because we see
employees as the greatest assets of the organisation. In view of this,
UHY provides a platform for career development and a place for planning
our employees’ life such as UHY Talent Network, Internship Programme,
UHY Insight Programme, UHY Leadership Journey Programme and
Mentoring and Coaching Programme. We wish to grow with every
employee especially the young talents who are curious and ambitious.
Our senior management continuously lead and coach young talents to
empower them to become a
brand ambassador. “UHY has not
only given a career opportunity
but also a platform to learn
and develop.” – Ms. Zoe Tan,
Associate Consultant.

WHAT WE STAND FOR As a
professional fi rm, 8HY is part of
the institution of training organ-
isations that work for the nation’s
Accounting fraternity to train the
thousands of fresh graduates
entering the accounting and fi -
nance workforce. This is our com-
mitment to nation building, and
perhaps to a certain extent, our
contribution to global commerce,
as Malaysian accountants are well received all over the world as valuable
talents! Whilst we appreciate high performing employees in UHY, we also
acknowledge the importance of nurturing happy and healthy employees.
We encourage work-life balance and personal involvement in community
support initiatives. With the continuous support from our management
team and endless efforts from a dedicated team, various recreational and
community services activities were organised every year. These activi-
ties have not only fulfi lled the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), but
at the same time, fostered relationships among the employees and most
importantly, heightened the morale of the employees.

“We are humbled with HR Asia’s recognition of UHY’s effort in talent
management. In an industry that is notorious for its above average
staff turnover rates, it is an honour to win this award for the second
consecutive year and it goes a long way to inspire our team and people to
make UHY the best accounting fi rm to work for!”
— Datuk Alvin Tee, Senior Partner
