For the third consecutive year, Keppel, a global asset manager and operator headquartered in Singapore, has earned Great Place To Work Certification™ by Great Place To Work®, a global authority on workplace culture.

The Great Place to Work® certification is awarded through a strict evaluation process, including the Trust Index™ Employee Experience Survey, which is based on in-depth research, and the Culture Brief, which assesses company culture. These steps ensure that every company recognised as a Great Place to Work® truly deserves the title.
Specifically, through the Trust Index™ employee experience survey conducted in early 2025, 92% of employees rated Keppel as an ideal workplace, far exceeding the global average of 59% for companies in general.

Facilitating employee growth
At Keppel, people are at the heart of development. With “Agility” as one of its core values, the Company focuses on investing in enhancing employee capabilities, helping them adapt to changes in technology, the business environment, and the global economy.
To achieve this, Keppel has implemented numerous learning programmes and platforms, from online training to specialised workshops, providing employees with ongoing opportunities to expand their knowledge and develop professionally.
The Company provides all full-time employees with a LinkedIn Learning account, offering over 8,000 learning topics to help them proactively enhance their skills according to their personal needs. Additionally, Keppel has launched a Community of Practice (CoP), a platform for exchanging and sharing experiences within specialised groups on topics such as effective team leadership or improving customer experience.
In addition, Keppel invites reputable speakers to share the latest trends, helping employees update their practical knowledge through its Quarterly Learning Day program held every quarter.
Beyond enhancing employee capabilities, Keppel also builds a professional, transparent, and fair work environment. The Company applies a performance-based compensation system that ensures fair evaluation from goal-setting to performance review. Managers receive training in setting individual goals, evaluating employees, and providing effective feedback, and the promotion review process is carefully discussed to ensure every decision accurately reflects employees’ abilities and contributions.
