How To Get Started
List of progressive companies who qualified for the campaign:
10 companies from the supply chain and logistics sector signed an MOU with NTUC U Women and Family on 16 August 2022, committing to make their workplaces better and safer for workers, and to redesign jobs to attract more women to the industry.
Leading the charge is Bok Seng Logistics, a branch under Supply Chain Employees' Union – SCEU. Mr Dave Ng, Group CEO, is a strong believer of ensuring the welfare of employees to retaining and motivating them in the company's transformation journey.
When 60-year-old Anada Kumar was diagnosed with cancer in early 2019, he was surprised at how much his company of almost 20 years cared for his welfare and well-being.
While on a two-month hospitalisation leave following surgery, he received frequent calls from his company, Bok Seng Logistics, asking how he was recuperating. His colleagues from the human resources department also came to visit him at home.
What Mr Kumar appreciated the most was when the company allowed him to work from home after he ended his leave.
Working from home allowed him to limit his overall movement and journey to work, which enabled him to recover better. Bok Seng Logistics leads the way by putting in place the arrangement even before working from home was the norm during the COVID-19 pandemic.
