Do you have the special DNA?

Jurong Port is on the lookout, everyday, everywhere, for the special DNAs that will make our talent pool unique and nonpareil. On the journey of a leading international multi-purpose port operator, we recognize that our talent pool is the decisive factor for success. We draw upon the strengths of its staff of diverse nationalities and cultures. In search for new talent, our focus is on getting the best people from Singapore and the world.

It’s all about talent

Managing our talent pool is key priority. We begin with a clear talent strategy that helps us clearly define our priorities; understand what the types of talent we need, and deploy the best people in every job. For each level, we endeavour to develop the right skills; and we tap on our growing talent pool for the development of our succession plan. As important, our performance management system aims at creating peak performance from all our colleagues.

Talent Development

To develop our talent, we have structured programs that cater for all levels of staff. Essentially our talent development covers four broad categories:

• Leader Development for Senior Managers and above
• Emerging Leaders Program for Managers and Professionals
• Executive Excellence Program for Corporate Support Staff
• Supervisory Excellence for Operations and Engineering Support Staff

These programs cover essential leadership, managerial, supervisory, business, and technical skills required of our staff to be more effective in their current roles as well as to prepare them for future roles as the company grows. We also sponsor promising leaders to undertake general management programs and executive education with prestigious institutions such as Harvard, INSEAD and Stanford - NUS.

Comprehensive Rewards

To sustain our talent pool, Jurong Port adopts a comprehensive rewards approach in motivating and rewarding its employees by offering market-competitive compensation and benefits, as well as a work environment that enhances our colleagues’ well-being. Our compensation practice is aimed at attracting and retaining talent for the company. Guaranteed compensation is attractive, and is further augmented by corporate bonus, individual performance, enhanced individual performance bonus and outstanding performance bonus: The better the performance, the better the rewards. Our comprehensive benefits programme helps employees better manage their physical and psychological health as well as handle any stress and personal issues that may arise. As part of our continuous improvement process, we regularly fine-tune the Group’s benefits plan to enable staff to meet their personal medical and insurance needs, through their own personal programmes, and those provided by the company. We have a Smile programme which provides a quarterly sum to each staff for them to interact with their colleagues. In addition, there is a holiday reimbursement programme for all staff; this programme helps to enhance work-life balance by encouraging our colleagues to take a holiday with their loved ones. Our current benefits include:

• Outpatient medical treatment
• Hospitalization benefits
• Dental benefits
• Annual Health Screening
• Smile
• Holiday Reimbursement
• Insurance (Group Term Life & Group Personal Accident)
• Bursary Award
• Support for eligible educational programmes

To ensure that Jurong Port remains competitive, we regularly benchmark our compensation and benefits programmes against those of the marketplace.
