Singapore, 22 April 2022 – NEC Asia Pacific (NEC APAC), the regional headquarters for NEC Corporation in Southeast Asia, was recognised as one of the best employers in Singapore by a study jointly conducted by the Straits Times and Statista, an international market research firm headquartered in Hamburg, Germany.

The top 200 highest-scoring employers in Singapore were recognised after evaluating more than 1,700 eligible organisations across 27 industries.

Mr Teh Chong Mien, Managing Director, NEC APAC, said, “Being recognised as one of Singapore’s best employers is very meaningful and encouraging against the backdrop of the great reshuffling trend and tech talent crunch. The accelerated digital transformation has also prompted companies like NEC to reinvent rules to retain and attract talent as well as redesign the workplace for a positive innovation culture. At NEC APAC, we are committed to develop our people, create a diverse and inclusive workplace for our employees and enable NEC to be a great place to learn and work in.”

“Initiatives that we are introducing in NEC APAC for employees include mental wellness programmes, e-learning, hackathons as well as team bonding activities through corporate social responsibility programmes with non—profit organisations,” added Mr Teh.

The Straits Times and Statista conducted the survey in August and September 2021, which involved more than 17,000 employees, and published the result on 18 April 2022. All companies and institutions with at least 200 employees were eligible for the ranking.
