Towering above the competition

Towers Watson believes in practising what it preaches, which is why its Singapore office lives up to the ideals of the business.

“Towers Watson research shows that when an organisation builds a workplace that actively marries high levels of employee engagement with enablement and energy, it opens the door wider to a significant performance lift,” said Sivakumar Sankar, the company’s Asia Pacific HR director and global HR director for its talent and rewards segment.

This is why the organisation decided to do away with managers’ offices allowing for better communication between them and their teams, which Sankar says helps “to develop, coach and encourage associates in ways that keep them engaged over time”.
