HR Asia Announces Best Companies to Work for in Asia

The award 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.

“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.

“We are honoured and take pride to receive this award which will enhance further our KM brand presence, my great appreciation to our employees’ effort to make our company a great place to work. This is a great encouragement and motivation for our team.” – Osafumi Kawamura, MD of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Asia Pte Ltd.
