EMA is committed to deliver our unique Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to create value and positive impact for our employees by developing a holistic employee experience.

Launched in November 2023, the four EVP pillars are Going Beyond, Energising Growth, Empowering People and Caring for You. These pillars guide the EMA Experience for our people.

As EMA continues to drive Singapore's energy transition, our people are empowered to build up their expertise to drive change and innovation.

To enable our people to advance their professional development and become experts in their domains, EMA offers sponsorship and postgraduate scholarship programmes, functional training and overseas attachments. This includes attachments to the International Energy Agency, which allow officers a chance to understand key energy challenges from an international perspective and gain hands-on experiences.

EMA actively promotes digitalisation and the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools. To enable innovation at every level, EMA launched “Innolabs” in April 2024, a Public Sector Transformation initiative aimed at fostering innovation and driving transformation within the organisation. Innolabs serves as a collaborative platform for EMA officers to identify challenges, crowdsource solutions, and develop prototypes as an agile approach for continuous improvement. Innolabs has received 45 challenges submitted from 12 departments within just one month and project teams are working on the ideation of solutions to enhance productivity within EMA.

Our employees’ well-being and the fostering of strong teamwork is at the heart of EMA’s culture. We prioritise meaningful employee engagement that builds camaraderie and empowers our employees to contribute productively and purposefully. Through regular engagement sessions like monthly breakfast sessions and team building game sessions, these platforms provide an opportunity for employees to network, create meaningful connections and bond through play.

In April 2023, EMA enhanced the welfare funds scheme for employees to organise team-bonding activities as a department or on a social basis, to foster trust, improve collaboration, and support one another’s well-being.

EMA organises regular Staff Forums and engagement sessions with senior management, which serves as a platform for employees to participate in dialogue and enable open communication. Moreover, our hybrid work arrangements continue to provide employees with the flexibility to balance their family and work priorities, ensuring a supportive and adaptive work environment.

At EMA’s annual dinner & dance, our colleagues eagerly engaged in a live charity auction, bidding on four batik-inspired artworks lovingly crafted by talented young beneficiaries aged 10 to 12 years old.

Thanks to the generous contributions of our colleagues, the event raised over $24,900 in donations, which will support more than 1,000 beneficiaries. These funds will be directed towards supporting their education, daily living needs and programmes designed to equip them with skills for their future.
