KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 -- Illumina Inc, for the second consecutive year, has been honoured as one of Singapore’s Best Employers in a survey sponsored by The Straits Times and the marketing firm Statista.
Illumina was second in Health Care and Equipment Services and placed 27th on the overall list, according to a statement.
Conducted in late 2020, the survey queried around 9,000 people employed in all different industries, giving them the opportunity to express their support for 1,700 local companies with over 200 employees.
“It is heartwarming to be recognised once again as one of Singapore’s Best Employers. This award means a great deal and gives recognition for our efforts to create a conducive, inclusive and rewarding environment for employees at any level,” said Illumina Singapore Vice President and General Manager, Derric Lee.
The survey results are based on employee perceptions from companies in the region. Respondents were asked whether they would recommend their employer to a friend or family member, and if they would make the same recommendation for other companies.
Headquartered in San Diego, California, Illumina’s first Singapore facility opened in 2008 with 10 employees and a 38,000 square foot facility.
Today, Illumina Singapore has increased the number of employees to more than 1,300 and grown to three buildings, occupying 10 times the original space—now totalling 385,000 square feet.
The momentum continues with an additional facility for research and development which is expected to open in the first quarter next year.
Illumina is improving human health by unlocking the power of the genome. Its products are used for applications in the life sciences, oncology, reproductive health, agriculture and other emerging segments.
