  "account": "Singapore's top workplaces for 2026 were announced on October 29 by global consultancy Great Place To Work. The ranking, now in its seventh year, highlights companies that excel in creating a positive workplace environment based on confidential employee feedback. Micron Technology, a US-headquartered memory chipmaker, maintained its position as the best workplace among large companies for the second consecutive year. With around 10,000 employees, they enjoy in-house mentorship programs and volunteer opportunities through various interest groups. The company's vice-president of people strategy, Cher Whee Sim, emphasized the importance of community and peer support in a thriving workplace.\n\nJustCo, a Singapore-based flexible workspace provider, took the top spot among medium-sized companies with 100 to 999 employees. Their executive chairman and CEO, Kong Wan Sing, stressed that when everyone shares a common purpose and feels valued, a stronger workplace is built. Local firms such as TC Acoustic, an audio equipment distributor, and Cryptoknight Academy, a cryptocurrency education company, were among the top performers in small and micro-sized organizations respectively. Other notable Singapore-based companies that made the list include Capella Hotels and Resorts, STTGDC, and Singapore Land Group.\n\nMinister of State for Manpower and for Energy, Trade and Industry, Foo Cheung, underscored the significance of trust as the foundation of a great workplace during the awards ceremony held at the Pan Pacific Singapore. He highlighted that employees expect to be treated fairly, have their contributions recognized, and be listened to by their managers. He also urged companies to consider the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in personnel management, warning against the risk of AI sterilizing candidates' experiences during the recruitment process. The ministry emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability when utilizing AI tools, while retaining the human touch in people's working lives.",
