LG Electronics India Limited has been recognised as a Top Organisation with Innovative HR Practices at the 25th Asia Pacific HRM Congress Awards 2026. The awards ceremony took place in Bengaluru on September 17, 2026.

The company was honoured for its initiatives in leadership development, organisational capability, workplace culture, employee experience, and talent development. These recognitions align with LG Electronics India’s strategic vision of “Make in India, Make for India, and Make India Global.”

Leadership Recognition

Mr. Jwa Nam Kim, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO) of LG Electronics India, received the Most Impactful HR Leader Award. He was recognised for driving HR transformation and positioning people as a strategic enabler of business growth.

Mr. Kim stated that the recognition belongs to every member of the organisation. He noted that HR practices have always been closely aligned with business transformation initiatives. As the company enters its next chapter of growth, the focus remains on building leadership, capabilities, culture, and organisation to enable people and business to grow together.

Previous Accolades

These latest honours build on a sustained track record of HR excellence for the company. Key previous recognitions include:

• Great Place to Work® Certified for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025)
• National Best Employer Brand award 2026 from World HRD Congress
• Top HR Iconic Leader Award for Mr. Jwa Nam Kim
• Most Innovative L&D Program Award 2026
• HR Distinction Diamond recognition from HR Association of India (HRAI)

What the Numbers Show

The consistent stream of awards across different categories—workplace certification, employer branding, and individual leadership—indicates a broad-based organisational strategy rather than isolated initiatives. The dual recognition of both the organisation and its CHO suggests a strong alignment between corporate policy and executive execution in human resources management.
