Workers, job seekers rate top 20 most attractive employers in Singapore

SINGAPORE: A recent study from Randstad, a global talent company, showed the companies favoured by employees and those currently looking for work for this year.

Among these are the InterContinental Hotels Group and Marina Bay Sands and Bytedance, the parent company of TikTok and Douyin.

A total of 2,753 Singapore-based employees and job seekers participated in the survey carried out in January of this year, aiming to evaluate different firms’ brand awareness and attractiveness.

Participants rated 75 such companies regarding 10 employee value proposition drivers, which included “attractive salary and benefits”, “work-life balance”, and “career progression opportunities”.

Here are the top 20 most attractive firms to find employment: Bytedance, CapitaLand, Changi Airport Group, Danaher Corporation, DBS, Dyson, Edwards Lifesciences, Emerson Asia Pacific, ExxonMobil, IBM, InterContinental Hotels Group, JP MorganChase, Marina Bay Sands, Medtronic, Pratt and Whitney, Procter & Gamble, Resorts World Sentosa, Shell, Singapore Airlines, and finally, UBS.

These companies are listed in alphabetical order above, with the full ranking to be released at a later date.

While some of the firms are well-known to Singaporeans, including Changi Airport Group, DBS, Resorts World Sentosa, and Singapore Airlines, others may not be as familiar.

For example, Danaher Corporation is a US conglomerate that designs, manufactures, and markets medical, industrial, and commercial products and services

Emerson Asia Pacific, like Danaher, is a new entry on the list, a Yahoo News report says. It manufactures industrial instruments and related products.

Randstad told Yahoo Finance Singapore that the full survey results will be released next month.

Randstad’s 2023 Employer Brand Research Singapore shows that 41 per cent of respondents plan on quitting their jobs due to a desire to improve work-life balance, defined as having enough time to enjoy leisure activities with friends and family. /TISG
