Apple tops ranking of S’pore’s best employers, with Google at No. 2

SINGAPORE – Dissatisfaction with work-life balance is a main reason why employees leave an employer, while salary has become a more important factor for employees, according to the results of a survey published on April 30.

The survey scored employers based on two elements – each employee’s willingness to recommend one’s own employer, and their willingness to recommend other employers in their industries. The survey found that the more satisfied employees were with their work-life balance, the more willing they were to recommend their employers to others.

“As a consequence of this, workers strive for companies which respect and encourage a healthy work-life balance between their personal and professional lives than those which do not,” he said. Dr Leong said the appearance of lower scores in development potential may not necessarily be a trend that has been going on for a long time, but it may be influenced by a number of factors that have emerged in recent times.

The survey also found that salary has become a more important factor worldwide for employee satisfaction following uncertainties arising from the pandemic and following inflation, said Ms Meusel. The Lego Group, which came in at No. 8 on the list of Singapore’s best employers, offers staff a place where they can unleash their creativity and imagination, said Ms Amrita Singh, its head of people-partnering for the Asia-Pacific and Singapore hub.

Said Mr Ben King, managing director of Google Singapore: “Being recognised as one of Singapore’s best employers for the fifth year is an incredible honour.”
