Singapore Airlines has been named the republics most attractive employer at the Randstad Awards for the third year running, an achievement which will see it inducted into the Randstad Award Hall of Fame.

The Randstad Award recognises the organisations Singaporeans most want to work for, and were presented in front of an audience of senior executives from Singapores 75 largest employers.

Commending Singapore Airlines for its outstanding achievement, Randstad Country Director Michael Smith said: Singapore Airlines is well-known for providing world-class training and development paths and international career opportunities, which was reflected in its high ranking across each gender, age group and education level.

It strives to achieve excellence in all facets of business. As a result, it is universally admired not only in Singapore, but around the globe.

It is vital that employees are proud of the company they work for. Singapore Airlines status as the most awarded airline is a testament to its 14,000 employees who make flying with the airline such an enjoyable experience for the 18 million passengers it carries each year, said Smith.

Singapore Airlines ranked extremely favourably across all key criteria including offering interesting job content, good training, strong management, good financial health, concern for the environment, competitive salary and employee benefits, a pleasant working atmosphere and career progression opportunities.

Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President Human Resources, Christopher Cheng meanwhile said: The award is a positive affirmation of our efforts to continually build and sustain our employer value propositions to attract and retain the best talents.

"At Singapore Airlines, jobs are dynamic, multi-dimensional and challenging. We continue to provide talented individuals exciting opportunities to contribute to the growth and development of various aspects of our airline operations and business."
