Over the years, our staff have reported a more favourable opinion of working in the Hospital. The result of our latest biennial Employee Opinion Survey was most encouraging as it shows a strong edge over the Singapore norm, where more than 72,000 staff from other organisations were surveyed.

Below are some of our family friendly programmes which have benefitted our staff :

Health and Wellness Programme

Working on the belief that healthy staff are able to maintain a better work-life balance and be a role model for healthy living at home, we have implemented a variety of health and wellness programmes including annual health screening, healthy food choice campaign, weight loss management programme and health talks.

The families of staff members are also encouraged to participate in healthy lifestyle activities such as walkathons, marathons, nature hikes, as well as adventure trips like the outward bound course. They can make use of our in-house facilities like gymnasium, table tennis / badminton / basketball / tennis court and dance studio for games, sports and exercise; and equipment e.g. fat measuring machine, blood pressure machine at the staff lounge to monitor their own health.

The success of our wellness programme has won us the Health Promotion Board's inaugural Platinum Award in year 2004, the top award given to employers for outstanding workplace health programmes.

Family Support Service

We have arranged for various convenience services to help our staff to better manage their family / personal needs. Such services include monthly bazaar sale, weekly fruits and vegetable sale, courier pick up service and referral services on dependent care / errand services (e.g. dinner catering, grocery & fresh food delivery) via the HR intranet. Various enrichment programmes including the annual CGH Juniors @ Play are organised during the school holidays. Apart from learning and having fun, the children also get to discover what their daddy or mummy does in the workplace. Other support services include subsidy for in-house CGH Child Care Centre, emergency child care service, regular lunch time talks on family related issues and a work-life resource corner for staff to obtain free brochures and reading materials.
