review and is evolving.
Pros: For property management roles, it's pretty stable here. They have a good pipeline of real estate development projects, especially in Singapore, so work is consistent. You don't often worry about sudden layoffs if you're in a core function.
Cons: Things can get a little shakey in the hospitality sector or newer business ventures. I've seen some teams undergo restructuring, which makes job security feel less solid for those employees. It's not always clear where you stand during these times.
Advice to Management: Try to communicate more transparently during restructuring efforts, especially for teams in the hospitality sector. This would help alleviate employee anxiety and improve overall morale and job security perception.
