Keppel Land recognises the importance of human capital management and is committed to be an employer of choice, with focus on career growth and personal development opportunities. Great emphasis is placed on people development initiatives, training and development, with the aim of equipping staff with a wide range of capabilities to build the careers of their choice.

For more details on the Company’s human capital management and efforts, please refer to Keppel Land’s Sustainability Report 2009.

Talent Development and Management
Keppel Land has in place a Talent Review Committee, chaired by the Group CEO and made up of the divisional CEOs, which meets periodically to address human capital issues such as succession planning and talent development, and to chart the career path of its talents.

The Company fine-tuned its managerial development programme for high calibre staff, subsuming all its existing managerial programmes into the new Leadership Development Programme (LDP) for Emerging Leaders. Incorporated within the LDP is a stringent selection process which aims to accelerate the development of executives to assume managerial positions.

Keppel Land also selects promising staff to participate in the Keppel Group Global General Management Programme to develop the competencies of an effective leader whilst encouraging teamwork and interaction with the different business units. This programme forms an integral part of Keppel Land’s plans to nurture and build the next generation of leaders.

Employee Communication and Engagement
Keppel Land believes in facilitating employee communication and engagement. Informal interaction sessions conducted over lunch and tea are held bi-monthly, enabling senior and top management to build rapport with staff at all levels.

Staff engagement is extended to employees based overseas through the Annual International Conference (AIC) for key executives from its international operations. The AIC serves as a platform for strategic collaboration and exchange of best practices and new ideas, as well as cross-learning opportunities and networking between local and overseas staff.

Keppel Land conducts orientation programmes bi-annually to help new employees assimilate into the organisation. Senior management also delivers presentations on the Company’s key businesses, corporate philosophy and strategic directions. Visits to the Company’s projects in Singapore are also conducted to familiarise them with its developments. New staff are also invited to the Keppel Groupwide orientation which provides insights into each of the strategic business units within the Keppel Group. At the same time, it facilitates networking across the entire Keppel Group and the creation of a common Keppel identity.

Keppel Land participated in the inaugural Keppel Groupwide organisational climate in 2009. The survey provided a platform for all staff to provide feedback on a wide range of issues, ranging from their well-being and personal development, to overall work environment and related aspects that impact their ability to contribute effectively to the achievement of corporate goals. The feedback will enable the Company to refine its existing programmes to build an engaged workforce.

Keppel Land staff are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle.


Fun activities such as the Amazing Food Race deepen bonds among employees.
