CDL was amongst five companies to receive the inaugural Great Companies for Dads Award from President Madam Halimah Yacob in a virtual ceremony held on 5 March 2021. Organised by the Centre for Fathering and Dads for Life, the awards recognise organisations with innovative policies and initiatives that support fathers in the workplace, going beyond legislation.

Said Mr Steven Tan, CDL Chief Human Resource Officer, “Fathers play an important role in nurturing a child. At CDL, we believe in encouraging fathers to play bigger roles within the family by providing policies that enable our employees to spend quality time with their children. Some of our extensive family-friendly policies for fathers include enhanced paternity leave, family event leave as well as national Total Defence schemes. Our employees appreciate our supportive, family-oriented culture, which allow them to achieve a healthy work-life balance, contributing to greater job satisfaction. We are heartened to be recognised for our efforts in helping fathers give their best at home and at work.”
