He also joined a short meet-up session offstage with Mr Lim Swee Say, Minister for Manpower.\u00a0It was a great pleasure for Lawrence to be able to discuss on the issue of fair employment practices on that day\u00a0and would like to thank TAFEP for the opportunity.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, it was\u00a0highlighted that\u00a0smaller companies can also offer attractive working environment, citing 3E Accounting as an example.<\/p>\n

\nIn\u00a0an interview with Channel NewsAsia, Director of 3E Accounting, discussed the importance of attracting talents to add value to the organisation and how boosting\u00a0employee morale can help to increase productivity. She believed that happy employees equal happy customers. Employees that are happy with their work\u00a0tend to go an extra mile for\u00a0the company\u00a0when they feel encouraged and supported.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 3E Accounting, employees are assessed using a holistic performance appraisal framework, which allows them to provide feedback on whether they have received sufficient support to perform their work duties. Furthermore, the Managing Director and Director review every appraisal, and an one-on-one discussion is conducted between the senior leadership and each employee. This has created a positive work atmosphere, where employees\u2019 views are heard allowing management to efficiently address any perceived or real discrimination and\/or unfair treatment.
