Malay term or phrase: mengambil berat
Is it correct if I translate "mengambil berat terhadap pekerja" into "support the employees"?

Thanks in advance!

care
Explanation:
mengambil berat terhadap pekerja = care about their employees

support the employees = menyokong pekerja, thus it is not an accurate translation

'interested in' as per below would not be accurate too for the above sentence

Ref: DewanEja Pro
be interested in, mengambil berat: he ~s more about his business than his family, dia lebih mengambil berat ttg perniagaannya drpd keluarganya

Explanation:
I think your translation is not too accurate, yours would mean more "to show support..."
"mengambil berat" is to show concern towards some thing/people
