Ms Teresa Lim says
"A healthier, happier and more engaged workforce is a more efficient one that adds significant value to our business and community. It is therefore important to focus on our people and put their well-being in the centre of our people philosophy.

At KPMG, we provide a supportive environment and implement programmes that promote work-life harmony. One of our latest offerings is the KPMG Clubhouse - uniquely designed for our people to grab a bite, catch up with friends or clients for drinks or meetings, play games, watch television or simply to unwind in a comfortable environment they can call their own."
