Employer of Choice

Posted 16 May 2023

Our Aim at Swire Energy Services is to be an Employer of Choice. Our people are our most valuable asset and we believe in creating an environment where people feel comfortable at work and are able to realise their full potential, while we also recognise the importance of diversity and inclusion and the positive impacts it has on our company.

As part of our commitment to being an Employer of Choice, we recently carried out an Employee Satisfaction Survey (eNPS Survey) which identified some positive feedback around the top 5 likes from our team members across our global OpCos.

“Working for SES has been… a very enriching experience for me”

Cher Li Tan, Head of Finance, APAC spoke on Atmosphere (Feelings). “Working for SES has been a fantastic experience. It has been 4 years working in SES and it has indeed been a very enriching experience for me. What I love most is that our company respects, recognises and values its greatest asset i.e., employees.

It has the culture of respect and accountability that makes me thrive even more when I see myself as a part of a team that is working together towards achieving the Company’s goals congruently. It is an organisation which offers opportunities for everyone to foster and grow both professionally and personally. I am glad that I am in the role that I play to my strengths which allows me to contribute a positive impact to the organisation.

Seeing the company grow and the results of my contributions motivate me even further. I have not only learnt a lot over theses years about my own domain, but there has also been a lot of cross functional learning which has helped in an overall growth in my career. Peers at SES are extremely encouraging, talented and like one big family who are always around to support at times of need. I have a great team who I can lean on and trust them to work with me. I love the people I work with, and I love what I do. And it is not all work all time; SES also have a very proactive approach to employee wellbeing. Overall, SES has been one of the best places to work!”

“…the leadership and management genuinely care about our safety”

Thankgod Chukwu, Technical Service Operator Level 2 Welder has worked with SES for over 11 years and he talks about his positive experiences with Leadership and Management. “I always recommend Swire Energy Services as a great place to work, whenever I have an opportunity to do so. I believe that we have a system that works in our company. The leadership and management genuinely care about our safety. Our management here has good foresight and work is planned way in advance; yet they are always flexible to make changes whenever necessary so that our work can move forward. They make sure that we have the right people to fill every position in the yard and we are trusted to do our work without unnecessary pressure. We are also well equipped with the required tools to do our work safely and go back home safely to our families.

I am proud to say that people can trust us to do what we say we will do; and our management always honour their word. I look forward to coming to work every day because I know that my contribution is appreciated. Unlike other places I have worked or heard about, there is no favoritism, bullying or intimidation in our company. Everyone’s performance is valued and rewarded based on merit.”

“…day after day, we learn from each other, and bring respect, ethics, and teamwork to our work relationships”

Another highlight from the recent survey is ‘People At Work’. Welliton Castro, Maintenance Chairman has also worked at SES for 10 years this year. “On June 03, 2023, I will complete 10 years of work at Swire. Looking back from when I joined until the present moment, I have learned a lot in relation to my professional career and in working with my co-workers.

Here, day after day, we learn from each other, and bring respect, ethics, and teamwork to our work relationships. We strive to always focus on our activities and uphold excellence in our work processes.”

“It’s great to hear from our team members across our global OpCos”

Michael King, Vice President Operations & HSEQ comments; “At Swire Energy Services, our people are our most valuable asset, and we believe in creating an environment where people feel comfortable at work and know their voices are being heard.

Our recent eNPS Employee Satisfaction Survey has highlighted positive feedback relating to our people and leaders, the working environment and atmosphere and the benefits of working for SES. It’s great to hear from our team members across our global OpCos, including many long-term colleagues.

This feedback is very important to know we are delivering on our goal, and it allows us to continue building on and improving, to make SES the best company to work for.”
