Who knew the pandemic would be part of our lives? None of us knew how long the remote working situation would last, but we tried our best to quickly adapt to the new normal. Now, after nearly two years of working from home, we are finding our rhythm and even enjoying some aspects of this new way of work.
With 2021 coming to an end, let’s look back at our progress and identify some significant achievements as we celebrate and plan for the post-pandemic recovery. Before diving in, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our partners and customers for their support this year. Look forward to 2022 as we share more insightful findings and even some fun!
Now, it’s time to share our milestones of the year.

Most Downloaded Whitepaper: State of Employee Experience 2021
A recent whitepaper which garnered great interest from HR professionals and business leaders. This study represents the most comprehensive comparable dataset on workplace sentiment through the start of the pandemic.
The last 2 years have been a demonstration of human beings’ incredible resilience in the face of a crisis, and our ability to adapt. It is vital to once again take stock of the pulse of Singapore’s workforce and assess the long-term impacts of the myriad ways in which the pandemic has changed our lives. It is only after reassessment that we can try to reimagine and recover, implementing tactics that address emerging problems like a rise in disengagement, high burnout risk among vulnerable employee groups, and stress among caregivers.
