Like individuals, every company or organisation has its own distinct standards that drive its operations. Over the years, this set of principles is honed by experience and influenced by specific circumstances. However, apart from these core values, another element can determine a company’s success: its people. Employees can make or break a company, and how an organisation values the people that work for it can have a direct effect on its performance. For Time International, whose humble beginnings date back to the 1960s, the ideals of heritage and innovation, professionalism and heart, are at the very core of its business. These serve to guide its efforts in creating an office culture that is not only conducive for work, but also for making long and lasting connections.
With an environment that fosters camaraderie and cooperation, Time International is once again recognised as one of HR Asia’s “Best Companies to Work For in Asia.” An accolade that spotlights organisations that excel in employee engagement, workplace culture, and HR practices, the award not only commends Time International’s programmes or policies, but also applauds the individuals who form the foundation of the company. This similarly affirms its stance on prioritising the welfare of its employees, from boutique teams and warehouse staff to head office functions. Regardless of their duties and responsibilities within the company, every employee is identified as a key member of the community and aptly acknowledged for their contributions.
“At Time International, we’ve always believed that people are our greatest strength. This award belongs to every single person who brings our vision and values to life every day,” shares Irwan Danny Mussry, President & CEO of Time International, “I am incredibly proud of our team and grateful for the spirit of collaboration and integrity they continue to uphold. This recognition is theirs.”
The HR Asia Awards was founded by HR Asia, which is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of HR trends, practices, and strategies across Asia. It introduced the “Best Companies to Work For in Asia” Awards as a recognition programme for organisations that have been identified by their employees as one of Asia’s employers of choice and ascertains the best employers to work for. Targeted at companies across Asia, it commends companies with the best HR practices, high levels of employee engagement and excellent workplace cultures. The HR Asia Awards attracts applications from Fortune 500 companies, as well as other companies of various types, including multinational corporations and government-linked companies.
Greatly honoured to be regarded together with other highly respected organisations across Indonesia and the whole of Asia, Time International sees the award as a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to its core values, which guide its internal culture and external partnerships. Furthermore, winning “Best Companies to Work For in Asia” in 2025 is a reflection of the favourable company culture that is built on trust, mutual respect, and a shared ambition to always raise the bar. By choosing to invest in its people, the organisation is able to motivate its employees and nurture their ideas as well as their loyalty, which can only be beneficial for the company.
As Indonesia’s foremost curator of luxury and lifestyle brands, Time International is consistently expanding, continuously growing, and adding more people into its workforce, and this recognition not only compels the company to strengthen employee experience, but reinforces the belief that people make the brand. With this in mind, Time International and its employees will continue to strive for excellence together, cultivating a company that is pro-active, inclusive, and people-driven.
