Companies here must build trust among workers and leaders at all levels if they want to be competitive and cope with a range of upcoming economic challenges, noted Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Oct 30.
DPM Heng cited this need for trust as one of the key lessons gleaned from employee surveys conducted here over the past 10 years by consultancy firm Great Place To Work (GPTW).
He made his remarks at the 10th edition of the annual Singapore's Best Workplaces awards held at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, which honoured 50 employers who have performed the best on those annual surveys.
GPTW certifies workplaces with an outstanding employee experience through surveys and analytics.
Winners in 2024 include software giant Salesforce, which has been a fixture on the list for the past decade, and logistics company DHL Express Singapore, which ranked top among large companies with 1,000 or more staff here for the fifth year running.
DHL Express was praised for various initiatives, including a 32-hour induction course that conveys the primary business focus, strategy and spirit of the business to foster belonging.
Salesforce was lauded for its considered approach to infusing artificial intelligence at work via an internal council of staff that mulls over how best to deploy the technology.
