Better Workplace

To serve our distributors and provide farmers with insights and expertise, we rely on our team of 2,600 staff members. For them, we are striving to ensure a safe and inclusive workplace. We are also investing in their training and taking steps to ensure that their compensation and benefits are fair and rewarding.

Being a good employer

At Myanma Awba Group, we are a multicultural company, and we benefit from the diverse backgrounds and expertise of our people. Our Code of Conduct frames our commitment to being an inclusive workplace, as we foster diversity and are doing our best to provide equal opportunities to women and men.

As a member of the Myanmar Business Coalition for Gender Equality, we are looking forward to enhancing our policies and results to make our workplace more inclusive. In 2023, we had 2,617 people working for us, of whom 24% were women. These numbers have been stable since 2020, as shown in the chart reflecting the evolution of our workforce since then. Our absenteeism rate remains very low (2% in 2023), and our turnover rate reached 18% last year. We hired 441 people, of whom 24% were women. We also promoted 91 people to higher positions, and 29% of promotions were granted to women. Among our managers, women hold 25% of the management positions in our Group.

“When I joined Myanma Awba Group in 2017, I started to work in the R&D department where I was tasked with enhancing irrigation techniques. Afterwards, I joined Pahtama Seeds, and last year I was promoted. Today, I am responsible for engaging with a team of field supervisors who are in daily contact with farmers. We provide them with access to high-quality seeds, and are happy to share our expertise with them. Our work in the Magway region is meaningful, as we can see how farmers can benefit from our products and knowledge.”
