JAKARTA | INDATANEWS.COM - Indonesia's Ministry of Manpower (Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan) secured second place in the 2026 Performance Assessment for the Acceleration of Business Implementation for Ministries and Government Institutions. The award was presented at the 2026 Anugerah Layanan Investasi (ALI) ceremony in Jakarta on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
Minister of Investment and Downstreaming and Head of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), Rosan Perkasa Roeslani, presented the award to Minister of Manpower Yassierli during the 2026 ALI event.
The award recognizes the performance of ministries and government institutions in supporting the accelerated implementation of business activities through investment-related services. For the Ministry of Manpower, the recognition also serves as an incentive to continuously improve the quality of its services in the employment sector.
Ministry of Manpower Strengthens Service Quality
Minister of Manpower Yassierli said the award would motivate the Ministry of Manpower to further improve the quality of its services. He emphasized that greater ease in conducting business activities must go hand in hand with government efforts to protect workers and improve the quality of the workforce.
"This achievement is a motivation for the Ministry of Manpower to continuously improve the quality of its services, facilitate the investment climate in Indonesia, while at the same time ensuring that the protection and improvement of the quality of the national workforce advance hand in hand," Yassierli said.
According to Yassierli, improving public services plays an important role in creating an investment-friendly business environment. Efficient and accessible services can help businesses meet administrative requirements and conduct their operations in accordance with applicable regulations.
At the same time, facilitating business activities must remain connected to the objectives of national labor market and employment policies. The government must ensure that the growth of economic activities and investment creates opportunities to improve the quality of human resources while providing protection for workers.
The achievement at ALI 2026 represents an important moment for the Ministry of Manpower to further strengthen this commitment. The ministry is not only responsible for providing services that support businesses but must also ensure that labor policies continue to provide adequate protection for workers.
Strengthening public services is also part of the government's efforts to build an employment ecosystem capable of keeping pace with developments in the business sector. Through continuous service improvements, the government can provide more effective support to businesses while strengthening the implementation of employment policies.

ALI 2026 Recognizes Investment Service Performance
The Anugerah Layanan Investasi is an award presented by Indonesia's Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming, or BKPM, to ministries, government institutions and regional governments based on their performance in providing investment services.
The event serves as a form of recognition for government institutions that provide services and contribute to creating more favorable conditions for investment. The assessment is also intended to encourage ministries, institutions and regional governments to continuously improve the quality of their services for the public and the economy.
The effectiveness of government investment services is an important component of a favorable business environment. Businesses require clear and efficient public services as well as legal certainty when conducting their operations.
In this context, ministries and government institutions carry out their respective responsibilities according to their mandates. The Ministry of Manpower is particularly responsible for employment-related matters, which are closely connected to the sustainability of economic activities and human resource development.
Through ALI 2026, the government recognized institutions that demonstrated performance in supporting the accelerated implementation of business activities. The awards are also expected to provide additional momentum for further improvements in the quality of public services.
The Ministry of Manpower views the award both as recognition of its achievements to date and as motivation to further strengthen its services. Higher service quality is expected to benefit businesses, workers and society as a whole.

Ministry of Manpower Takes Second Place
In the ALI 2026 category for ministries and government institutions, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries took first place. The Ministry of Manpower secured second place, while the Ministry of Housing and Settlement Areas ranked third.
The achievement places the Ministry of Manpower among the government institutions recognized for their performance in accelerating business implementation in 2026.
The award is also part of an assessment of government services that support economic activities and investment. For the Ministry of Manpower, the achievement can serve as a foundation for maintaining existing service standards while implementing further improvements in the future.
The Ministry of Manpower is responsible for ensuring that labor market policies can support economic and business development. At the same time, the ministry must ensure that workers are protected and provided with opportunities to develop their skills and professional capabilities.
Maintaining a balance between facilitating business activities and investment, protecting workers, and improving workforce quality is an important component of national labor market development. Therefore, improving public services should not focus solely on administrative facilitation but should also contribute to building an employment ecosystem that supports productivity.
The second-place achievement at ALI 2026 gives the Ministry of Manpower additional impetus to continue its efforts to improve its services. The government expects increasingly better service quality to contribute to a favorable investment climate without neglecting the protection and development of the national workforce.
The award also underscores the Ministry of Manpower's commitment to providing services that meet the needs of businesses and workers. Continuous service improvement will remain part of government efforts to build an employment system capable of adapting to developments in Indonesia's economy and investment landscape. (IDNC)
