ST Engineering

“ST Engineering has been encouraging our employees to contribute to SHARE since the programme’s inception. Through good and challenging times, our employees are consistent in their support to enrich communities and transform lives.”

Into its 38th year of giving, ST Engineering continues to support SHARE.

Making donations convenient is key
ST Engineering makes SHARE part of the new employee’s on-boarding process to make the action of donating fuss-free, convenient and sustainable. All new employees learn about how their contributions would make a difference and they are encouraged by HR colleagues to sign up for the monthly giving programme via their payroll.

To boost the spirit of giving and raise the monthly amount committed, ST Engineering sets up SHARE booths across offices to rally employees to start giving, or to increase their donations to SHARE.

Yes we can!
ST Engineering’s community outreach programmes go beyond monetary support. Where possible, ST Engineering aims to put in place volunteer and engagement programmes that enable employees to serve the community meaningfully, leveraging the SHARE As One (SAO) grant to expand on scale.

St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation

“As a business that is committed to growing sustainably within Singapore, how we support our broader community is incredibly important to us and we aim to give back to the community in three ways – money, time, and knowledge. We are very proud to partner with SHARE, enabling us to connect with and support many incredibly worthy causes through monthly SHARE donations, transforming lives for those in need.”

St. James’s Place, being a new SHARE corporate, decided to accept the challenge to do more to make a difference. What it was looking for was an avenue to promote fuss-free giving without the hassle of bureaucratic red-tape.

Putting SHARE into action
To raise awareness of SHARE within the organisation, an EDM campaign and a SHARE pitch to new hires during orientation were implemented as part of the organisation’s SHARE initiatives.

Results speak for themselves
The organisation’s initiatives were effective as SHARE donations increased by about 60%.

Prudential Singapore

“The SHARE programme is simple and convenient, enabling us to channel our donations effectively to the vulnerable groups who need our support and help. All of our employees’ contributions have gone towards supporting Lions Befrienders and Lakeside Family Service Centre. We are heartened to know the funds have helped these organisations expand their welfare programmes, sustain befriending efforts, and reach out to even more people in the community. Prudential Singapore will continue to support the SHARE programme by doing dollar-for-dollar matching for employee contributions.”

Prudential Singapore explored new ways to support SHARE in 2020, such as the effective implementation of its no frills onboarding for employees on SHARE.

Leading by example
The top brass at Prudential Singapore led the way by introducing active onboarding of new hires on SHARE. With it, new employees could be motivated and easily become part of the SHARE regular giving programme, and contribute towards Prudential’s mission of giving.

One decision. Many outcomes
This fuss-free process allowed new staff to make direct and regular contributions to SHARE from their payrolls. To maintain momentum around the programme, Prudential also conducted lunch-time SHARE talks to encourage existing staff to do their part for individuals needing support.

Care to SHARE
These efforts saw a significant increase in SHARE contributions, compared to the same period in the year before. They also translated into a record high of more than 450 SHARE donors as of end 2020.

ERA Realty Network Pte Ltd

“ERA has been a long-time supporter of Community Chest. Under the ERA Loves initiative, we have actively been involving the entire company in giving back to the community through dollar-for-dollar matching donations made through our monthly staff contribution programme. This is aligned with our ethos that everyone can play a part in giving back; and in building up a strong culture of giving and sharing, we can be enriched in many meaningful ways.”

Abbott Singapore

“At Abbott, SHARE is an integral part of our employees’ giving journey. We have been privileged to partner Community Chest through SHARE since 2011. SHARE helps our employees give conveniently and consistently to individuals needing support in Singapore, to help them to live life to the fullest.”

PSA Corporation Limited

"PSA is alongside Singapore and our communities. The SHARE programme has provided us another channel to make a positive difference and impact to someone’s life in different ways.”

DBS

“At DBS, we are always mindful of the role we can play in strengthening Singapore’s social fabric. We are encouraged that our employees share the same spirit of purpose that drives the bank, and have participated keenly in various activities to make a positive impact on the community. This includes participating in the Community Chest’s SHARE programme and empowering our employees to support vulnerable communities in Singapore, especially during these challenging times.”

Royal Plaza on Scotts

“The SHARE programme unites the organisation as we do our part to give assistance to individuals needing support in the community. Through this meaningful programme, with every contribution, we become stronger as one, not just as a hotel, but also with Singapore.”
