About Singapore Power Group

Singapore Power Group (SP) owns and operates electricity and gas transmission and distribution businesses in Singapore and Australia. International industry indices rate SP’s electricity grid in Singapore among the world’s best performing networks, with the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide. SP has about 2,700 staff in Singapore. We are committed to providing reliable and efficient energy utility services to our customers through operational excellence and enhancing people capabilities.

SP nurtures our staff’s work-life balance so that they lead healthy and meaningful lives. This has in turn enhanced workplace safety, as seen in the increased number of “no-incident” days, and helped SP clinched two Work Life Achiever Awards from the Ministry of Manpower in 2006 and 2008.

 

Flexible Work Arrangements - Flexi Hours and Part Time

SP’s flexible work arrangements cater to the diverse needs of our employees and promote work-life balance. Subject to exigencies of work, employees can choose from four staggered commencing times. Working mothers can request for part-time employment of 21 or 28 hours a week to help them better manage work and family demands.

 

Leave Benefits - Non Statutory Leave

To help employees cope with life’s changing and unexpected demands, SP provides up to seven days of special leave a year including matrimonial, paternity, compassionate and examination leave. Eligible working mothers with 3 or more children below 6 years old can claim up to 15 days of paid unrecorded childcare leave, of which 6 are government-paid and extended to eligible male employees.

 

Employee Support Schemes

Quality Life Programme (QLP).SP advocates the holistic well-being of its employees including their health, social and personal development, career and finance, through an integrated programme called QLP. Activities ranging from talks to sports are organised to help our staff better manage work-life issues and lead an active lifestyle.

Employees with health risks such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure and obesity, are equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to manage their health through various health intervention programmes including cholesterol management, healthy eating and weight management. The Cholesterol Management Programme, for example, is a programme provided free to staff to help them lower their blood cholesterol through regular exercise, workshops and talks on fitness, food and nutrition counselling.

The QLP has been effective in reducing the number of staff going on medical leave and increasing the number of employees with zero medical leave in a year.

Flexible Benefits (FLEX). SP employees are given $750 of FLEX dollars each year which they can spend on their lifestyle needs, for example, payment of children’s education including child care centres and pre-schools, insurance premiums, preventive healthcare, outpatient medical, dental, holiday and fitness expenses.

Facilities. SParkz is a cosy staff lounge where employees relax and interact over food and games. It is equipped with audio and visual facilities for small group gatherings and functions.

SP Club serves the health, social and recreational needs of employees and their family members. Besides offering sports amenities like gym, badminton courts and dance studio, it also organises fitness classes, recreational and self-enrichment activities for the benefit of our employees.

A lactation room is conveniently available for use by female staff who are breastfeeding.

SP’s e-facilities such as the Enterprise Portal make it quick and easy for staff to learn about and sign up for new QLP events. Its online monthly staff newsletter, eSP, further promotes work-life balance by featuring QLP and SP Club events.

Family-oriented activities. SP organises an annual Family Day event where families, colleagues and management staff gather for an exciting day of fun and activities.
