JAKARTA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), once again achieved impressive success at the TOP Human Capital Awards 2025, organized by Top Business Magazine.

At this prestigious event, SMBR won two awards: the TOP Human Capital Awards 2025 #4 Stars for the company category, and the High Performing Human Capital Director 2025, which was awarded to Rahmat Hidayat, Director of Finance & Human Resources (HR). The award was received by Rahmat Hidayat, accompanied by Vice President of HC & GRI Fitria Margaretha, on Tuesday (November 4) at the Raffles Hotel, Jakarta.

The TOP Human Capital Awards is the highest recognition for companies deemed successful in managing and developing human resources in a superior and sustainable manner through the implementation of a Human Capital Management System (HCMS). This annual event is held by Top Business Magazine in collaboration with the Nawacita Study Institute (LKN), Human Capital consultants, business and management consultants, and academics from the University of Indonesia, Padjadjaran University Bandung, and Pertamina University.

SMBR’s Director of Finance & HR, Rahmat Hidayat, expressed his gratitude for the appreciation given to the company.

“This award recognizes the hard work of all SMBR employees in realizing superior, adaptive, and competitive HR management. Thank you to the entire team for their commitment to consistently implementing HR transformation. This achievement motivates us to continue strengthening the role of HR as a driving force for sustainable business growth,” he said.

This award is inseparable from SMBR’s success in implementing its Human Capital Management System (HCMS) roadmap, designed in stages until 2028 as a strategic guide for developing HR aligned with the company’s business direction.

Rahmat explained that SMBR’s HR transformation began with the “Establishing Strategic Human Resources” phase in 2024, which focused on improving the organizational structure, strengthening the leadership talent map, developing onboarding and offboarding programs, and standardizing HR systems and processes.

“We started with a strong foundation, ensuring that HR structures and processes truly supported the company’s strategic direction. This phase is crucial for establishing a system capable of driving performance while strengthening a collaborative work culture,” he explained.

Next, from 2025 to 2027, SMBR entered the “Establishing Human Resource Transformation” phase, with a focus on optimizing talent and leaders, implementing succession planning, and improving technical and leadership competencies.

“In this phase, we encourage leaders to become role models in developing new leaders and expand self-development opportunities for all employees to prepare them for the dynamics of the business,” Rahmat added.

The final stage of the roadmap will be achieved in 2028 through the “Establishing Human Resource Sustainable Growth” phase, which emphasizes the formation of an adaptive and agile organization, preparing successors and future talent ready to face business growth, and strengthening knowledge management and innovation systems in the workplace.

“We believe that superior human resources are not only about competence, but also about the spirit of learning, adapting, and innovating. That is the overall direction we want to achieve through this roadmap,” he concluded.

Through these systematic stages, SMBR continues to strive to make human resources a key strength in facing industry challenges and supporting sustainable business transformation under the SIG Group umbrella. (*)
