Organizational Agility amid COVID-19 gloom helped DBS Bank, NETS and Park Hotel win Kincentric’s Best Employers 2020 accolade

DBS also emerged as a Best Employer in Asia Pacific for the fifth consecutive time, joined by Olam International this year.

 

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 15 December 2020 - DBS Bank, NETS, and Park Hotel have
emerged as Singapore's Best Employers in 2020, according to Kincentric's
Best Employer program that measures and recognizes extraordinary employers demonstrating
workplace excellence.

 

DBS
was also named Best Employer in 2020 for the fifth time in Asia Pacific, joined
by Olam International who bagged the accolade for the first time. Both
organizations achieved an exemplary score across all Best Employers indices in
Employee Engagement, Organizational Agility, Engaging Leadership & Talent
Focus, that placed them in the top quartile range for regional employers.

 

Companies were evaluated on four key areas, namely -- 'Employee
Engagement', 'Organizational Agility', 'Engaging Leadership', and 'Talent Focus'.
A certified Best Employer organization will have its 'Employee Engagement' score
on par or better than the top quartile companies with two out of the three of other
factors (i.e. 'Organizational Agility', 'Engaging Leadership' and 'Talent Focus')
falling within the range.

 

Agility Dividend Pays Off for Top Companies

 

Of the criteria covered in the Kincentric study, 'Organizational Agility' was
found to be a key factor that enabled Singapore employers who are in the top
quartile to do exceptionally well. Such firms, were found to perform 14% better
on 'Organizational Agility', demonstrating that the ability to make rapid tactical
shifts in business decisions and people strategy amid a prolonged period of
uncertainty such as the COVID-19 pandemic, mattered the most for their
employees.

 

Andrew How,
Market Leader at Kincentric Singapore, said "The need for speed has never been
greater and in a period where many businesses had to adjust and adapt to the
new normal, our Best Employers have proven that they are able to accelerate
their decision making to remain agile and are always responsive to any
unexpected changes. Beyond that, the ability to manage change nimbly,
demonstrates a change-ready culture that is entrenched within the companies,
where employees trust the leaders, are inspired by their vision, and feel
equally engaged in driving future success in the face of disruption. Organizational
agility, especially in the form of management preparedness will remain a key focus
for years to come as they embark on a new workplace transformation."

 

An open culture
and mindset nurtured by a resilient and engaging leadership were also found to accentuate
change readiness, promoting the generous exchange of ideas, and sets the right
foundation for 'Organizational Agility'. Additionally, 85% of employees in such
companies based in Singapore, agreed that their organizations have a work
environment that is accepting of diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
Employees also rated their senior leaders 15% higher than other firms for
inspiring them to be excited about the organization's future.

Top Companies Reskill
and Retrain Employees

 

Top quartile
companies in Singapore were also found to pro-actively retrain and upskill
their workforce, with 78% rating their organizations highly for being
supportive of their learning and development, as compared to 64% at other
companies in helping employees remain adaptable during these uncertain times.

 

"We
would like to congratulate all our winners for displaying extraordinary traits
of employer excellence, especially in an extremely unique and challenging year.
We hope that they, and other organizations will continue to strive for success
as we head into an equally exciting new year," added Andrew How, Market Leader
at Kincentric Singapore.

Advanced Energy Transforms Indoor Farming with Intelligent New Lighting Power and Control System

Innovative technology breaks down barriers to indoor, vertical and greenhouse farming by reducing power consumption, cutting costs and increasing crop yield

 

DENVER, COLORADO - Media OutReach - 15
December 2020 - Advanced Energy (Nasdaq: AEIS) -- a global leader in highly engineered,
precision power conversion, measurement, and control solutions --
today unveiled its newest
lighting and power control system for indoor, vertical and greenhouse farming.

AE's new lighting and power system transforms the use of LED
technology in horticultural lighting systems, which plays a fundamental role in
cutting-edge farming practices that can address production challenges in food,
pharmaceutical ingredients, plants and flowers. Utilizing AE's system, customers
reduce their power conversion costs by as much as 50 percent, significantly
lower installation and operating costs, and increase the quality of crop yield.

"Our groundbreaking lighting, power and control system
delivers significant improvements over conventional lighting solutions and
opens up new opportunities for the industry," said Joe Voyles, vice president,
industrial marketing, at Advanced Energy. "We are transforming our customers'
operations by both reducing the amount of needed equipment and improving the
efficiency of the lighting systems, thereby reducing cost and energy spend. Not
only do these innovative new products increase the efficiency and quality of
fruit and vegetable production, but they also open the door to establishing
indoor farming facilities in harsh environments anywhere in the world."

The new system consists of the patented Artesyn iTS™
(intelligent Transfer Switch) and iHPS™ configurable power supply. Alongside
Artesyn's compact new 12 kW 300 VDC module, AE delivers a cost-effective
platform for the most advanced indoor farming applications. The system is
estimated to produce a 38 percent savings to lighting power and control
installation cost, while eliminating substantial amounts of wasted energy.

The new iHPS is a "short"
version of AE's market-leading iHP power supply. The shorter design allows for
more space within the lighting and power cabinet for other crucial components,
reduces the weight and cost, and increases the life of the system.
The new iTS provides the industry's first solution for switching or sharing a
single power source between two different rooms. This reduces installation
costs by cutting the number of iHP power supplies needed in half and it
substantially reduces ongoing utility costs.

For detailed product information and
technical specifications, visit the iHP product web page and

The launch of the new IPO
Smart Pay on the APP further enhances its user-friendliness by offering a fast
and secured payment method for IPO applications. In addition, unlike IPO
applications through banks and brokerage houses where an investor's funds are
immediately frozen once the application is submitted, Tricor IPO Smart Pay will
only debit monies automatically and securely from the investor's designated
account on the IPO closing date. The appeal of IPO Smart Pay is manifold,
including investors' ability to have greater flexibility with their funds and
more time to determine the appropriateness of a particular IPO. Investors are
allowed to cancel and resubmit their applications anytime before the closing
date. The APP also charges no application and service fee.

"The successful
launch of the Tricor IPO APP last year has set new standards and delivered a
brand new digital IPO experience to both issuers and investors," said Mr Joe Wan, CEO of Tricor Hong Kong. "This
year, with the support from our important partner HSBC, we are excited to incorporate
the cutting-edge payment technology into the APP, turning it into a perfect solution
for online IPO application.

"We at Tricor always stay
at the forefront of the industry, and we see digitalisation as one of the
irreversible trends. The adoption of digital processes not only helps companies
improve operational efficiency but also enhance corporate governance, which is
paramount for sustainable business operations. We will continue to innovate and
partner with other industry leaders to present more inspiring technology
solutions going forward." Mr Wan
added.

"The continuous
introduction of new technologies to the Hong Kong securities market has led to
the long anticipated advent of electronic IPO. Electronic IPO platforms have
emerged and brought a number of benefits such as more environmentally friendly
business practices and optimisation of workflows," explained Ms Pamela Chung, Managing Director &
Head of IPO, Tricor Hong Kong.
"We strive to help our IPO clients achieve
successful launches. Taking care of public investors' needs under the Covid-19
new normal is one of our IPO service priorities, especially when HKEX has now issued
a consultation paper on paperless listing and subscription mechanism. The IPO
market will continue to enjoy robust growth, and drive investors and issuers'
adaptation to new technologies, which ultimately will benefit the Hong Kong
securities market as a whole."

"Tricor's focus
always lies on the customers and the improvement of their experience. IPO Smart
Pay is another example of how Tricor leverages the most up-to-date technology
to build better customer experience. This is just the start of an evolution in
the new IPO experience and more changes will come in the new year." noted Ms Catharine Wong, Managing Director - Head
of Share Registry & Issuer Services, Tricor Hong Kong.
"Our initiative
to further digitise the IPO process works well with other major market
developments like FINI to facilitate efficient subscriptions.  We also understand that privacy and data
protection is extremely vital to get users buy-in. Mindful of this, when
developing these new enhanced features, we have carefully reviewed every step and
strictly ensured that only those need-to-have information under the current
regulations are collected, and the direct debit information is being handled by
the customers' own banks with the highest protection of customer's data. In
addition, we have employed multi-layer security and full failover protection so
that sensitive and confidential information remain as the domain of our valued
customers. Now in conjunction with our auto payment method supported by HSBC,
investors can enjoy a new end-to-end digital IPO experience with complete
peace-of-mind operation."

Wallace Lam, Head of Corporate, Commercial
Banking, Hong Kong, HSBC
, said,
"Digitisation has become a must-have for different sectors. HSBC is pleased to
provide an innovative cash management API solution for Tricor IPO Smart Pay,
elevating the IPO subscription journey for retail investors in Hong Kong and
helping them capture investment opportunities with greater convenience. Our
solution also greatly enhances the efficiency of IPO subscription process and
operational workflow, reaffirming our ongoing commitment to support corporate
clients in their digital transformation journey."

As a leading share registrar with an
outstanding track record in supporting new issues and IPOs, Tricor actively
participates and provides support throughout the entire listing process. Having
introduced the Tricor IPO APP, which is now augmented by IPO Smart Pay, both
issuers and investors are assured of the ability to promptly and flexibly
engage in IPO pertinent activities like never before, all the while underpinned
by the highest level of security. Tricor will continue to direct efforts
towards the development of even more advanced and impactful digitalised
solutions that fully capitalise on the digitisation trend, as well as the dawn
of the 5G era from which will bring a step change in the way people work and
live.
