Great Place To Work unveils Best Workplaces in the Inaugural Singapore Healthcare and Biopharma List 2023

Employees express trust in leaders' competence and integrity and value fairness and impartiality as part of the workplace culture

SINGAPORE, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture announced the 10 companies who are Best Workplaces^TM in its inaugural Healthcare & Biopharma List. This marks the first Healthcare & Biopharma industry list in Singapore by Great Place To Work, a recognition for companies such as COVID-19 vaccine creators like AstraZeneca, to Alcon Asia – the largest eye-care device company with surgical and vision care helping us to see clearly, and a homegrown brand like telemedicine provider WhiteCoat Holdings, competing with the best-of-the-best global brands. The companies were shortlisted using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place To Work Certified^TM organization.

Managing Director of Great Place To Work ASEAN and ANZ, Ms Evelyn Kwek said: "Singapore has become a choice location for biopharmaceutical companies to set up their operations to develop and produce new products given our world class infrastructure, collaborative ecosystem and strategic geographical location, connecting global companies to the huge Asian market. The ability to access skilled talent is another strategic factor. Great Place To Work is therefore proud to be launching the inaugural Healthcare & Biopharma List to support great workplaces in this sector in elevating their brands to attract the most talented, diverse and purpose-aligned employees. We congratulate the 10 companies on this inaugural List and they are indeed Best Workplaces, as validated by the voices of their employees."

The Best Workplaces in Healthcare & Biopharma List is determined using Great Place To Work's For All™ methodology to evaluate. Based on employee's voices from the Best Workplace companies, the competence and integrity of their leaders are top attributes within the workplace, and management showing fairness and impartiality in staff treatment.

The Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey enables employees to share confidential quantitative and qualitative feedback about their organization's culture by responding to 60 survey questions. Collectively, these statements describe a great employee experience, defined by high levels of trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.  

85% of the evaluation is based on what employees report about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organisation, no matter who they are or what they do. Great Place To Work analyses these experiences relative to each organisation's size, workforce make up, and what is typical in the healthcare and biopharma sector. The remainder of the evaluation is an assessment of all employees' daily experiences of the company's values, people's ability to contribute new ideas, and the effectiveness of their leaders to ensure they are consistently experienced.
