Gigamon is one of Singapore's Top 10 best places to work

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 (Bernama) -- Gigamon, the leading deep observability company, has been awarded the Great Place to Work Certification which recognises the company as one of Singapore’s Top 10 best places to work.

Organised by Great Place to Work, winners were chosen based on surveys distributed to 37,000 employees across various industries in the republic.

Among those surveyed, 95 per cent of Gigamon employees say that when they join the company, they are made to feel welcome.

Gigamon vice-president of APAC Simon Lee, in a statement, said: “This recognition reflects our commitment to putting employees first in line with our company core beliefs.

“We are committed to fostering an unparalleled employee experience and it is a privilege to receive this recognition, especially after navigating the pandemic.”

According to the research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a certified great workplace.

Additionally, employees at Certifi ed workplaces are 93 per cent more likely to look forward to coming to work and are twice as likely to be paid well, earn a share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at career advancement.

The Great Place to Work Certification is the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture.

“Earning this designation means that Gigamon is one of the best companies to work for in the country,” said Great Place to Work global recognition vice-president Sarah Lewis-Kulin.

To foster a positive working environment, the company’s One Gigamon culture offers initiatives including GigaWomen, a group of women and allies who collaborate to empower all women, and Gigamon Giving, a programme that encourages employees to give back by matching both donations and volunteer hours.

Additionally, in response to the pandemic, Gigamon created resources and virtual opportunities to enable its employees to engage in meaningful ways while working remotely.

This includes ongoing mental health support where Gigamon implemented regular company-wide “down days” and free access to self-development training courses.
