Held at Le Méridien Petaling Jaya on 7 June 2024, EXA—the region’s premier Human Resources (HR) awards programme—celebrated its fourth edition. EXA shines a spotlight on trailblazing organisations that leverage employee-centric strategies to drive value and maintain a competitive edge. The awards celebrate excellence in leadership, continuous learning opportunities, active employee engagement, and strategic talent acquisition—all core values deeply embedded in PLC’s pillars. This recognition serves as a strong validation of our dedication to these areas.

An in-house learning academy is a dream for many Learning and Development (L&D) professionals, and PLC is proud to make it a reality. Today’s corporate learning institutions are expected to go beyond physical spaces—transforming into comprehensive content libraries that are readily accessible and enhanced with immersive learning experiences. Facing 248 high-caliber entries across 42 diverse categories, PLC’s victorious emergence in the Best In-house Learning Academy category speaks volumes of our expertise in fostering an innovative and visionary culture of continuous learning and development.

Of course, this accolade wouldn’t be possible without the exceptional contributions of various teams across PLC—from the Academy to the Campus, Hospitality, and all our valued learning partners. Such steadfast dedication fuels our innovative learning solutions. Together, PLC will continue pushing boundaries to empower the people of PETRONAS to reach their full potential.
