Influential Brands' Top Employer Award goes to.... Klook!

Each time we clinch an award from esteemed organizations, we're enveloped in immense gratitude. It's a symbol of recognition, the booster shot that fuels our drive and motivates us to continuously push our boundaries.

Amongst the exciting happenings in the first quarter of 2024 (including our Project Love Story team of Klookers that helped out at the Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Singapore), one event capped off March with a nice finishing touch.

As you can tell from the title, yes, we have been officially presented as the 2023/24 Top Employer under the Travel & Experiences category by Influential Brands!

In the words of Jorge Rodriguez, Managing Director of Influential Brands, the award is "given to exceptional companies with great company culture and strong employee engagement." We were "measured across Asia with strong results in the areas of engagement, freedom of opinions, growth, management support, meaningful work, organizational fit, peer relationship and strategy."

With over 1,700 employees across more than 20 locations globally now, we have become more intentional with employee engagement. Be it via virtual events like our quarterly global townhalls or our annual birthday celebration, or in-person activities organized at each location such as celebrating local festivities or a CSR event, the objectives are not simply to have clear, uniform communication or to have fun; what's important is to create shared experiences among employees that create joyful memories of their #LifeAtKlook.

What makes us a Top Employer?

1. Our vibrant ('work hard, play hard') culture

If you asked us to sum up #TeamKlook in 3 adjectives, we'd say "Dynamic, fun-loving, energetic" without skipping a beat. As Asia's leading travel and experiences company, we're all about creating unforgettable work moments for our team. It's not just about the impact we make on the industry; it's also about the meaningful, enriching experiences we share with our colleagues. Whether bonding during a team-building retreat or enjoying a #FunFriday gathering in the office, our team knows how to spread the Klook fun wherever we go.

2. Our commitment to employees' growth

Communication, critical thinking, project management, career path planning... These are just some topics our Learning & Development team has developed workshop content around. As a fast-growing company that's constantly evolving, we want our Klookers to grow alongside us. Junior or senior, we are dedicated to equipping everyone with the core skills that are valuable across the board.

Through workshops, we encourage Klookers to collaborate on discussion questions, exchange insights, and reflect on their strengths and weaknesses. Without learning, we would stagnate, like a traveler stuck at the departure gate, missing out on new opportunities ahead of us. After all, life is an ongoing learning journey, don't you agree?

3. Our collaborative, feedback-driven environment

"Ask For and Give Feedback" - that's one of the core beliefs that define PATH. We recognize that feedback isn't limited to bi-annual performance reviews; it's an ongoing process. Feedback can be exchanged at any time, but we also emphasize the importance of solicited feedback. We encourage our colleagues to seek feedback proactively, but also respect each other's boundaries considering the timing and occasion. Our goal is to support our colleagues in discovering their full potential through continuous growth, and feedback plays a crucial role in guiding them along this journey.

Before we close the curtains, hear some final words from us...

There's so much more to our culture that we're eager to show you. But we'll let our Talent Acquisition team or other Klookers you know share their stories with you. All of these, along with many other factors, culminate in this success (and many more milestones to come).

We wouldn't have come this far without our Klookers' dedication to our mission and dedication to living out our PATH core values in their day-to-day. Thank you, #TeamKlook and everyone who's been rooting for us!
