AHHRA - HR & Legal Programs

HR compliance in Malaysia has become increasingly complex and highly regulated. With heightened government enforcement and growing employee awareness, HR Managers must navigate a wide range of labor legislation, including the Employment Act, Industrial Relations Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and the Trade Unions Act.

Failure to stay current with these laws exposes organizations to serious legal, financial, and reputational risks, including penalties, disputes, audits, and industrial action. In today’s environment, compliance is no longer a back-office function—it is a strategic responsibility.
