Chipmaker Micron named Singapore's best workplace for second straight year

Micron topped the large-company category of the Best Workplaces in Singapore 2026 rankings, announced on Oct. 29 by global workplace consultancy Great Place To Work.

The ranking recognized 55 companies across four categories based on employee numbers, using confidential feedback to assess workplace culture, trust and employee experiences.

Micron, which employs approximately 10,000 people in Singapore, was followed by logistics giant DHL and hotel group Marriott International. Hilton and FedEx rounded out the top five.

Micron employees have access to internal mentorship programs through company resource groups, as well as volunteer activities and interest groups covering sports, pets and other shared interests. It emphasizes building connections among employees both inside and outside the workplace.

"We believe in the importance of community and peer support," said Cher Whee Sim, Micron's vice-president of people strategy, technology and workforce transformation, as quoted by The Straits Times.
