CapitaLand Investment cuts 90 roles in Singapore; affected employees to receive relevant support measures

The 90 roles represent about 4% of CLI’s Singapore workforce, and affected employees will receive severance, career transition, and counselling support among other measures.

CapitaLand Investment (CLI) has cut 90 jobs in Singapore in 2026, representing about 4% of its local workforce, as it reviews its organisational structure against its strategic priorities and long-term business needs.

The company told The Straits Times that it has cut the roles as part of a restructuring exercise, without disclosing the functions affected. As cited in the report, CLI has about 2,200 employees in Singapore.

In a joint statement shared with Human Resources Online today (Thursday, 3 September), CLI and the Singapore Industrial and Services Employees’ Union (SISEU) said the global real asset manager periodically reviews its organisational structure to ensure it remains aligned with its strategic priorities and long-term business needs.

"As part of this ongoing process, the Company is implementing organisational changes to support its business and operating requirements," the statement said.

Affected employees will receive support through severance arrangements, career transition services, and counselling support, it added. Where appropriate, CLI will also consider redeployment opportunities within the Group.

SISEU was informed ahead of restructuring exercise

SISEU, an affiliated union of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), said it was informed in advance of the restructuring exercise and has been engaging with CLI throughout the process.

The union is representing workers’ interests and working to ensure affected employees are treated fairly, according to the statement. This includes ensuring that the severance package is in accordance with the Collective Agreement, as well as supporting affected employees as they navigate the transition.

SISEU said it understands that workforce transitions can be challenging for affected employees and will provide further assistance and resources to members and employees where needed. This includes connecting affected workers with the Labour Movement’s network, including NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i).

Eligible union members will also be given the option to tap on Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP) to offset training costs for skills upgrading and eligible AI tool subscriptions.
