About us:
OPRG Singapore is a strengths-first organization that believes our staff operate at their best when they can nourish their lives with meaningful activities both in and out of the workplace. In addition to basic salary, our staff enjoy a discretionary 13-month bonus, medical/dental coverage including critical illness cover, and free access to a trained psychologist/counsellor through our Employee Assistance Program.
Our leadership team has designed and codified thoughtful work/life programs to ensure our staff have the opportunity to find balance while thriving with OPRG. Our formal work-life harmony guidelines outline our commitment to your personal time. Leave programs include, annual leave, birthday leave, alternate week BlueSky (early close) Fridays, Family Care leave (so staff can be with loved ones when it's most critical - and it includes pets!), and sabbatical leave for long-service. In 2021, we piloted a "meeting-free Friday" program, with the aim to offer one day where staff can focus on their priorities - to have creative quiet, the space to be strategic, or even just uninterrupted time to focus on important heads-down work. This program was overwhelmingly popular and we have continued in 2023.
Our learning and development programming includes a mentorship program, Strengths-training and various leadership trainings offered both locally and from our regional network (Emerging Manager, Leadership, Resilience workshops) as well as a host of local skills-based trainings to help you develop writing, presenting, and other areas in your specific functional expertise.
