Top local heroes making an impact on HR across Singapore and Malaysia

Zesty Kickz, People Potential, and more have been recognised for providing meaningful, locally driven solutions for HR teams.

Local HR providers play a vital role in supporting organisations with people and workplace challenges that are shaped by local realities. Through close market understanding and practical expertise, these providers help employers respond effectively to evolving workforce needs.

At the HR Vendors of the Year 2025, Singapore and Malaysia, the ‘Local Hero’ category recognised independent HR partners, vendors, and solution providers. Eligible organisations operate without a parent company, have no public shareholders, and are not part of an international network, unless that network is also made up entirely of independent organisations.
