Many employers, including Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), provide a range of benefits to support all their employees. However, we believe in going beyond the basics to create a supportive and thriving work environment. We know that a well-taken-care-of TNB family boosts morale and productivity and significantly reduces turnover rates. Our commitment is to meet our employees halfway by regularly reviewing and enhancing our policies to support them in every possible way.

This supports our employees wellbeing and enhances their productivity and engagement at work.
