We believe that nurturing a deep pool of talent with a global mindset and common culture, built on our company ethics and operating principles, enables us to deliver sustainable solutions.

People are at the core of everything we do at Sembcorp. Our performance relies on them. We offer rewarding careers and exciting challenges to employees who play a part in building our businesses, and invest in making them better at what they do. That, we believe, is key to attracting, motivating and retaining talent.

On-the-job learning, exposure and formal training allow our employees to develop to their full potential. There are also opportunities for overseas job attachments and rotations.

Developing exceptional leaders is a priority at Sembcorp. We have robust talent management and leadership programmes in place that help us identify and groom employees who have the ability to become effective and highly valued Sembcorp leaders. They are selected to participate in rigorous yet rewarding management development programmes, and challenged to grow.

Employees are rewarded both for individual and overall business performance. Rewards include annual increments and performance bonuses, as well as share-based incentive schemes. Sembcorp’s benefits package also includes health and welfare benefits, comprehensive group term life and personal accident insurance, and loan / interest subsidies.

We strongly promote a holistic and balanced lifestyle, and encourage and fund recreational activities throughout the year. These include community outreach and volunteer initiatives, team sports events, health and lifestyle workshops and family events at our various operations.

At Sembcorp, sustainability and corporate social responsibility are ingrained in the way we work. We believe in being good corporate citizens. In every community that we are part of, we seek to understand the needs on the ground, and partner with local groups and organisations to address them. 

As a company, we also seek to minimise our impact on the environment and, at the same time, invest in ways to protect it. We also focus on improving the living standard and quality of life of our host communities. We do this through providing access to energy and water, or through social welfare and education. 

At the individual level, our employees enjoy coming together as a team to volunteer with philanthropic organisations. They also help out at local schools and participate in community clean-ups, among other initiatives.
