A survey released by Singapore’s national daily, The Straits Times and independent global research company Statista, found that our Hong Leong Group companies have made the ranks on a list of the top 250 best employers in Singapore.

The companies are facilities management services provider CBM (#49), its parent City Developments Limited (#68), Hong Leong Asia (#90), and CDL Hospitality Trusts (#211).

More than 14,000 employees from over 2,000 employers in 27 industry sectors responded to Statista’s online survey conducted in September and October 2023.

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.

Employers are also rated based on other job aspects, from salary and work-life balance to potential for development, work environment (colleagues, superiors and equipment), as well as employer reputation (image and growth).

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

Companies with the highest overall scores were those from the clothing, biotechnology and food industries.

Singapore’s Best Employers 2024 is a large-scale and comprehensive employer study that assesses the attractiveness of employers in Singapore based on an independent employee survey. Tens of thousands of evaluations, the opinions of thousands of employees, and the scores for hundreds of companies were taken into account. The 250 highest-scoring employers were recognised.
