Employee Experience Awards Key Dates

WHO’S ENTERED EXA?

CELEBRATING SINGAPORE’S TOP WORKPLACES THROUGH THE POWER OF EX

Back for its fifth year, the Employee Experience Awards continues its mission to honour organisations that champion the employee experience. In a world where securing and nurturing top talent is paramount, the EXA spotlights those trailblazers who are setting the standard through employee-centric strategies, fuelling both success and a competitive edge.

Triumphing at the Employee Experience Awards is more than just recognition – it’s a resounding endorsement from the industry that your organisation is a leader in listening to, engaging with, and empowering your most valuable resource: your people.

The Employee Experience Awards stands out by focusing on four key pillars that are essential to a positive employee experience:

1. Leadership

Celebrating the indispensable role of leaders in shaping an organisation’s culture, this pillar acknowledges companies that exhibit outstanding leadership qualities, inspiring their employees and setting a clear vision for success.

2. Learning

Emphasising the importance of continuous learning and development, this pillar honours organisations that invest in their employees’ growth, offering opportunities to enhance their skills, knowledge, and capabilities.

3. Engagement

Recognising the impact of engaged employees on organisational performance, this pillar celebrates companies that cultivate a sense of belonging, motivation, and commitment among their workforce, leading to high levels of engagement.

4. Talent Acquisition

Highlighting the importance of attracting and retaining top talent, this pillar commends organisations that excel in talent acquisition strategies, ensuring the recruitment of individuals who align with the company’s values and contribute to its success.
