Alcon In The Public Eye, Winning Best Employers In Singapore Once Again

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 (Bernama) -- Alcon, the global leader in eye care dedicated to helping people see brilliantly, has been named one of the ‘Best Employers in Singapore’ for the second consecutive year in addition to its recognition in 2021.

This prestigious recognition underscores Alcon’s unwavering commitment to building a strong culture of excellence where all associates can bring their best to work, according to a statement.

“At Alcon Singapore, we have invested in creating valuable experiences for our associates through various development and culture building programmes, growth opportunities and engagement with wider enterprise initiatives.

“We believe that these valuable experiences at work have helped to strengthen our connection to Alcon and our purpose of helping people see brilliantly,” said Alcon Asia Pacific Head of Human Resources, Preneet Bindra.

In this year’s survey, Alcon also achieved second place in the ‘Health Care Equipment & Services’ industry category compared to third place in 2023, and this accolade comes from a comprehensive survey conducted by The Straits Times, Singapore’s leading daily newspaper.

Meanwhile, the ‘Best Employers’ study evaluates companies via a large-scale survey in which associates participate anonymously that includes questions about the willingness to recommend their own company to friends or family (direct recommendation) and the willingness to recommend other companies within the same industry (indirect recommendation).

Alcon Singapore, which received high scores in this year’s evaluation, believes that its purpose of helping people see brilliantly is best activated when people can be their true, authentic selves. As such, Alcon regularly conducts the ‘Associate Experience Dashboard (AED)’ to gather associates’ opinions and suggestions about the work environment.

The company is specifically committed to providing associates with valuable experiences by expanding engagement opportunities across three key areas, namely Diversity & Inclusion, Social Impact and Sustainability (SIS), and Talent Development.

Alcon Singapore actively promotes inclusive collaboration and communication through cultural events and associate-led sports programmes, which strengthen bonds and cooperation across functions, whereas under the SIS strategy, it participates annually in the global social impact activity ‘Alcon in Action’, a global day of volunteering.
