Our people

A company should feel like home.No one carries it alone.

How far a company goes depends on how steadily each of its people can walk. So we built two things into how we are run, not just how we talk: sharing in what the company achieves, and — when you need it most — a group of people entirely on your side, answerable to no one else.

Employee shareholding committee

When the company grows,you should grow with it

Every colleague who has been with us for more than a year receives a dividend entitlement at the end of each financial year, sized to how the company has done that year. It is not a one-off bonus but a stake that builds up with the years and is genuinely yours.

Eligible automatically after one year with us — no application needed.

Two ways to have it looked after

Once you choose custody, you can leave everything to us or decide for yourself where it goes. You can switch between the two at any time.

Default

Steady custody

No decisions needed. Within controlled levels of risk, the company has Barclays or Goldman Sachs (Singapore) invest it steadily for you, aiming to give you a reliable return on top of your salary.

Your choice

Pick from our dedicated list

Prefer to decide? Within the investment direction and limits the company sets, Barclays and Goldman Sachs (Singapore) prepare a list of options just for Singfung colleagues — a fund set up for us alone, selected shares, or structured deposits. Choose freely from the list and change your mind whenever you like.

  • Dedicated fund
  • Selected shares
  • Structured deposits

How dividend rights are granted and valued, and the detailed rules for trading, transfer, withdrawal and custody, are set out in the employee shareholding plan rules and in each year’s notice. Investment options are offered by our partner banks within limits the company sets, and may change from year to year. Funds, shares and structured deposits can all go down as well as up; investments carry risk, and past performance is not a guide to future returns.

Benefits and care

Big things and small,we want to be there.

What insurance covers, insurance pays; what it does not, the company picks up. None of this is small print on a benefits list — every colleague can use it directly.

Health and insurance

AIA

Mid-to-high-end global medical cover with AIA, from your first day.

  • Every new and current colleague is covered by AIA’s mid-to-high-end global medical insurance.
  • After a year with us, cover extends to your immediate family and to the people who raised you — blood relatives or not.
  • Whether you are on a business trip, a short holiday or working remotely as a digital nomad — or your family is away relaxing — you are covered in any country in the world (except those AIA explicitly excludes).
  • Costs outside the policy are supported too: from a cold or a fever to specialist medicines the insurance does not cover, and the travel and transfers needed to get treatment.

Support for faith

Respect for every sincerely held faith.

  • Support with the religious items colleagues need for their faith.
  • Religious festivals, prayer times and dietary needs can all be raised for rotas and events.

Pregnancy and birth

As you welcome a new life, you and your family are not on your own.

  • Antenatal appointments, rest and changes to your work can be arranged whenever you need them.
  • Through maternity leave and the birth itself, the company and the wellbeing committee keep in touch and help with whatever you need.
  • When you return, we plan the pace of your return with you.

When the family is in trouble

When something happens at home, the company stands up.

  • If a colleague loses a family member, the company makes a compassionate payment.
  • After an accident — or any trouble or injustice — the foundation and the law firm it works with stand up for the colleague and their family with legal support.
  • If illness in the family is more than the household can afford, the company helps case by case.
  • Even where the criteria for help are not met, the company can offer the colleague and their family an interest-free loan over a very long term.

Cover, territories and waiting periods for the medical insurance are as set out in the AIA policy. Support beyond the policy, compassionate payments, legal help and loans are arranged case by case by the wellbeing committee and the Towards the Light Wellbeing Foundation.

Towards the Light Wellbeing Foundation

Money we hope never to use —and always have ready.

Each year, once the group has met its goals and covered its costs and wellbeing spending, what remains goes into the foundation — to help colleagues through the unexpected: financial help, health and medical care, counselling, and hard times at home. Many colleagues also give, every year or whenever they can, and the group matches every gift one for one.

Each other’s strength

Many say “treat the company as your family”; few ever turn it round. We would rather start by treating colleagues as ours.

When a new project is at its busiest, colleagues have never counted the cost; in return the group has kept every promise, with dividends, wellbeing and a foundation behind each of them. What we value is not who works longest, but that we can all go the distance together.

Read our story

Wellbeing committee

Whatever is weighing on you,at work or in life, you can say it here

It might be a sudden upheaval, or something that has troubled you for a long time and is hard to put into words. You might disagree with a decision the company has made, or have been treated unfairly at work. Whatever it is, the wellbeing committee will listen properly and act properly.

  • Fully independent

    The committee belongs to no office or department. No manager can sway its judgement or interfere with how a case is handled.

  • Clean and impartial

    Every case is given a neutral member with no stake in you or the matter — no assumptions, only the facts.

  • Private by design

    What you tell us is seen by the committee alone. Not even system administrators or office heads can open it, and it is encrypted in our database.

  • On the clock

    We acknowledge and assign a member within 2 working days, and give you a first formal answer within 10. Complex cases get regular updates and a realistic timeline.

What we can do for you

  • Financial help

    Facing sudden financial hardship, the committee can draw on the Towards the Light Wellbeing Foundation or arrange support from the company.

  • Health and medical care

    Help arranging care and adjusting your work, and support through time you need to recover.

  • Counselling

    Professional, confidential counselling, paid for by the company.

  • A voice for you

    Disagree with the company or one of its decisions? We take your view, fully and faithfully, to the people with the power to decide.

  • Investigating unfair treatment

    We investigate unfair treatment independently; where it is borne out, we take a formal complaint straight to the company’s decision-makers and follow it through.

  • Staying with you to the end

    Your case is not dropped once we have replied. It stays open until you are satisfied.

How a case works

  1. 01

    You tell us

    Use the form below or speak to any committee member. All we need is your staff number and an email we can reach you on.

  2. 02

    Acknowledged within 2 working days

    We confirm we have it and assign a neutral member with no stake in you or the matter.

  3. 03

    Listening, investigating, helping

    Your member works through it with you, investigates independently where needed, and arranges help straight away.

  4. 04

    An answer within 10 working days — and until you are satisfied

    You get a first formal answer. If you are not satisfied, the case continues — up to the company’s decision-makers if needed.

“Choosing to speak up is the greatest trust you can place in us. We will deserve it — with independence, fairness and confidentiality.”

Equal employment opportunity

Everyone deserves to be seen fairly

Singfung Group is an equal opportunity employer. In hiring, pay, promotion, training, leaving and every step in between, we do not treat anyone differently because of race, colour, religion or belief, nationality or ethnic origin, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, reproductive health decisions or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital or family status, disability, veteran status, genetic information, political views or activity, or any other characteristic protected by law. What matters to us is what you can do, what you want to do, and what you and this team can become together.

We provide reasonable support

Throughout recruitment and everyday work, we provide reasonable support (sometimes called accommodations) to colleagues and candidates who need it, including:

Candidates can tell us what support they need on the application form; colleagues can ask the wellbeing committee through the form below. What you share is used only to arrange support and never affects decisions on hiring, reviews or promotion.

Every life has its rainy seasons. Don’t stand in the rain alone, and don’t stay stuck in the past — tell us, and we’ll wait for the rain to stop with you.

Contact the wellbeing committee

Tell us

This form goes to the wellbeing committee and no one else. Within 2 working days we will confirm by email and tell you which member is looking after your case.
