Employee Experience Awards Key Dates
CELEBRATING SINGAPORE’S TOP WORKPLACES THROUGH THE POWER OF EX
Now in its 6th year, the Employee Experience Awards (EXA) returns to Singapore, continuing its mission to honour organisations that are redefining what it means to champion the employee experience. In today’s competitive world, where attracting and retaining talent is vital, the EXA shines a spotlight on companies that place people at the heart of their success — driving both performance and a lasting competitive edge.
Singapore’s workforce is evolving rapidly, with employee well-being, purposeful leadership, and innovative talent strategies taking centre stage. A strong employee experience is no longer just an advantage — it’s the hallmark of organisations that thrive, grow, and inspire.
At its core, the Employee Experience Awards takes a holistic approach, recognising excellence across four key pillars:
1. Leadership
2. Learning
3. Engagement
4. Talent Acquisition
Through these pillars, the Employee Experience Awards aims to inspire Singaporean companies to build thriving workplace cultures where people feel empowered, engaged, and valued.
Join us as we celebrate organisations that are shaping the future of work in Singapore – where employee experience is not just an initiative, but the driving force behind organisational excellence.
Showcase Your Success
48
This is your moment to highlight the initiatives and innovations that have transformed your organisation into a workplace where employees flourish.
With 48 categories built around the four EX pillars — leadership, learning, engagement, and talent acquisition — the Employee Experience Awards will spotlight the strategies that have strengthened leadership development, advanced learning opportunities, elevated engagement, and redefined talent acquisition in Singapore.
Now is the time to share your story and be recognised by your peers for your EXcellence. We wish you every success with your submission!
