Telkom's People Development Plan Wins Lestari Award 2026
PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom) has won the Talent Management category award at the Lestari Award 2026 on Tuesday, 28 July 2026. The award was achieved through the People Development Plan (PDP) initiative, which carries the theme “Building Future-Ready Digital Leaders Across TelkomGroup”.
The PDP is TelkomGroup’s talent development strategy designed to strengthen human resource capabilities in facing the dynamics of the digital industry. The initiative demonstrates Telkom’s commitment to building an integrated talent development ecosystem to prepare future digital leaders whilst supporting sustainable business transformation.
Through a learning ecosystem structured based on business needs, this programme encompasses competency development, coaching and mentoring, experiential learning, research and innovation, utilisation of digital learning platforms, and assessments to ensure talent readiness in facing future challenges.
Telkom’s Director of Human Capital Management, Willy Saelan, stated that building a future-ready organisation must begin by ensuring every individual within TelkomGroup has the space to continuously learn, grow, and take on roles in creating impact for the business. “That is the direction we are realising through the People Development Plan,” he said.
He explained that the PDP development was designed by the Talent Management Policy unit and operationalised through collaboration with the Telkom Corporate University Center (TCUC) and Assessment Corporate University (ACI), focusing on various strategic business domains of TelkomGroup, ranging from Business to Consumer (B2C) and Business to Business (B2B) services, digital infrastructure, to strengthening leadership capabilities. This approach ensures that every talent possesses competencies relevant to current business needs whilst being ready to support the company’s future transformation.
Telkom’s SVP Group Sustainability and Corporate Communication, Ahmad Reza, said that this award is recognition of TelkomGroup’s consistency in making talent development one of the foundations of the company’s sustainability.
“Sustainability is not only realised through technological innovation or environmental management, but also through investment in people. The talent development ecosystem serves as the foundation for Telkom in preparing adaptive employees with future competencies, capable of creating sustainable value for the company. This award further motivates us to continue strengthening the learning culture and leadership relevant to the development of the digital industry,” said Reza.
This success also reinforces the implementation of the Empower Our People pillar within the GoZero% Sustainable Action by Telkom Indonesia initiative, realised through developing the capabilities of company personnel to be ready to face industry dynamics and future business needs. For Telkom, talent development is a strategic investment to strengthen competitiveness whilst supporting the company’s sustainable transformation.
With this achievement, Telkom also qualifies to advance to the regional competition alongside other category winners. Through sustainable talent development, Telkom will continue to strengthen human resource capabilities as the main driver of innovation and transformation, whilst creating sustainable value for the company, customers, and society.
