Kabar Nusantara - SURABAYA, 26 FEBRUARY 2026, the efforts and initiatives of the East Java Provincial Government in creating a healthy working environment have yielded commendable results.
According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower, a total of 132,364 companies in East Java have registered as participants in the BPJS Employment program.
This also makes East Java the province with the highest number of companies participating in the BPJS Employment program in Indonesia in 2025.
East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa expressed her appreciation for the compliance of the business sector in East Java with labor protection regulations. She stated that this achievement is an indicator of the commitment of each company.
“Alhamdulillah, this is not just a statistic, but concrete evidence that companies in East Java comply with regulations. They are also compliant and have a high awareness to provide protection for their workers. So this truly reflects a healthy working environment,” said Khofifah, Thursday (26/2/2026).
The figure of 132,364 companies with the highest number of BPJS Employment participants places East Java in first place nationally. The province outperforms DKI Jakarta with 116,824 companies, Central Java with 107,420 companies, and West Java with 98,029.
“Nationally, the total number of companies participating in the BPJS Employment program is recorded at 875,641 companies. And Alhamdulillah, East Java contributes the highest number to that,” explained Governor Khofifah.
The former Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs emphasized that the contribution of companies in providing BPJS Employment reflects responsibility. Given that protection for workers is a key foundation in building a healthy and competitive industrial ecosystem.
In addition, company compliance is also one of the important indicators in creating a conducive investment climate. This is because every investor, both domestic and global, needs legal and regulatory certainty in making business decisions.
“This is an added value for East Java in attracting investment. Compliance with labor regulations shows that our business ecosystem is stable, orderly, and has a legal framework that protects,” she explained.
Furthermore, the first female governor of East Java explained that this achievement shows East Java’s strategic position as a driver of the national economy. Especially with a contribution of 15 percent of companies participating in the BPJS Employment program nationally.
In the future, Governor Khofifah ensures that the East Java Provincial Government will continue to strengthen synergy with the business world, industrial associations, and BPJS Employment.
This is so that the scope of protection is even wider and more evenly distributed, including to companies that currently do not provide BPJS Employment for their employees.
“God willing, we will continue to ensure that all workers in East Java receive optimal protection. Our business world must comply and our workers must be protected. So that the economic growth of East Java will be even more inclusive and sustainable,” concluded Governor Khofifah.
