Success Stories
The National Heart Centre (NHC) of Singapore Pte Ltd is the national referral centre for cardiovascular diseases in Singapore with 185 in-patient beds and comprising over 700 healthcare staff. It has the largest team of heart specialists locally. Observing that one third of its staff is above 40 years old, NHC actively sends its mature staff for the SingHealth’s Silver Connection programme. It also fervently rolls out its “Arrows with SoulTM” programme to enhance staff’s personal work-life effectiveness. Besides enriching the staff individually, the management wants to demonstrate the value it places on its staff and to retain the rich experience of mature workers. NHC has been achieving low attrition rate since 2002, while improving service quality and financial strength. National Heart Centre Singapore was awarded the Work-Life Achiever Award 2008.
Employee Quote “I attended the Arrows with Soul course in 2006. The course was a stepping stone that made me reflect into what has been going on in my life. I realised that, while I busied myself with work, I had neglected other important areas like social life, self-enrichment and spiritual and physical aspects. From the exercises, I reorganised my focus to balance in the various areas. Now, I am glad to say that I have a challenging job in NHC, and I am learning piano (something which I have always wanted to do). I joined a gym last year and started exercising, attend church for spiritual/religious support, and most importantly, I spend quality time with my loved ones. I still keep the bottle from the course activity in my office so that it serves as a reminder to me!”
