PropertyGuru recently won the Employer of Choice bronze award in the 100 to 500 employees’ category of Human Resources Director’s (HRD) inaugural 2015 Employer Choice Survey.
The survey was conducted in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership, and polled over 1,300 employees working in 118 companies in Singapore.
It offers insights into the views of employees on their employers, and the elements of their work life which they find important, including remuneration, training and professional development, career progression, gender equality and a work culture that embraces technology.
In addition to the bronze prize, PropertyGuru was named as an engaging employer that recognises the value of work-life balance.
“Our culture includes flexible working hours, providing an environment where employees can enjoy sports and recreational activities such as PlayStation games and Foosball in the office, and where religious holidays and personal values are respected. We are very happy that our Guru culture is being recognised and appreciated by our team members,” said Christine Loo, Chief People and Culture Officer at PropertyGuru Group.
Iain Hopkins, Managing Editor of HRD Magazine added: “In this inaugural survey, HRD Singapore wanted to give Singapore employees the chance to highlight the things they both love and loathe at their places of employment. As a result we now have a list of Singapore’s best employers and insights into the companies that Singaporeans want to work for and are proud to call Employers of Choice. The results also show that Singapore’s employers are doing a lot of the right things in their quest to attract and retain the best talent.”
Started in Singapore, PropertyGuru has grown from a two-person office in 2006 to over 340 staff in four countries, after acquisitions in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia in 2011.
