Questions
Plainly answered.
What does P&C stand for?
People & Culture. The Talentbank P&C List recognises good workplaces, assessed by Talentbank and verified by the people who work there.
Who chooses which of our staff are surveyed?
We do. Staff are chosen at random, and the survey takes about three minutes. Responses are in confidence.
How long until we hear?
You receive a decision within 21 days of your staff survey closing.
What if we are not accredited?
You are told why, and you can apply again in the next yearly cycle.
Are we compared with much bigger companies?
No. You are judged only against companies your size, in four size groups: Micro, Small, Medium and Large.
Does accreditation last for ever?
No. Accredited employers are reassessed yearly, and each year accredited adds to your record.
What are the distinctions?
One, Two or Three Marks for employers distinguished in an area, an Employer of the Year for each size group, and The Talentbank Distinction for one employer above all others. They are revealed at Awards Night, 2027.
When does it open?
The P&C List opens with its inaugural 2027 edition. Full details will be published here.
How is this different from the Graduates’ Choice Award?
The Graduates’ Choice Award is decided by students’ votes for the employers they most want to join. The P&C List assesses the workplace itself, with evidence and a staff survey.
Who runs the P&C List?
Talentbank, Malaysia’s Employability Authority since 2010. The standard is set and applied by Talentbank.
