    HR Asia Announces Singapore’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 21 December 2020 – In a year marked by a
    pandemic and continued global uncertainty, 32 companies across Singapore have
    been named among HR Asia’s Best Companies to Work for in Asia.

     

    HR Asia’s Best Companies to
    Work for in Asia Awards recognises companies that have shown world-class
    employee engagement and workplace excellence, while displaying demonstrable
    empathy and care for their employees.

     

    The awards is Asia’s
    largest, covering over 300 thousand employees across 11 markets. Employees rate
    their employers using the proprietary Total Engagement Assessment Model (TEAM)
    survey, which covers collective consciousness, workplace sentiment, and team
    dynamics — making the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia Awards the
    only awards programme that is entirely employee driven.

     

    In Singapore, over 180
    companies were shortlisted, with the final 32 named as winners. Award winners
    include six-time consecutive winner Far East Organization, four-time
    consecutive winners British American Tobacco, Mazars LLP, and Mundipharma
    Singapore, three-time consecutive winner Borouge Pte Ltd and SAS Institute Pte
    Ltd, as well as the two-time consecutive winners City Developments Limited,
    Coach Singapore Pte Ltd, Evonik (SEA) Pte Ltd, NTUC First Campus Co-operative
    Ltd, Sanofi and
    Zuellig Pharma Singapore.

     

    “The survey in Singapore
    this year has once again highlighted the leading role played by Singaporean companies
    in promoting employee welfare and engagement. Singaporean companies
    consistently score higher than regional peers in such areas as group dynamics
    and team cohesion; and this year is no different”, said William Ng, group
    publisher and editor-in-chief of Business Media International, the publisher of
    HR Asia.

     

    “In times like these,
    we ask the all-important question: what separates the absolute best of
    employers from the good ones? Over the past 11 years of running Asia’s largest
    HR media brand, and 7 of those years surveying thousands of companies and
    millions of employees for the HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia®; we
    distilled the shortlist of answers to only one: empathy,” added Ng.

     

    This year, 6 Singaporean
    companies also won the WeCare™ certification, which is given out along with the
    HR Asia Best Companies to Work for in Asia 2020. They are Baxter Healthcare
    (Asia) Pte. Ltd., Borouge Pte Ltd, Certis, Johnson
    and Johnson Pte Ltd, Lazada Singapore Pte Ltd, and SAS Institute Pte Ltd.
