GIC’s Commitment to Inclusion
Our efforts to build a workplace where everyone has a place and is valued.
We believe that diverse perspectives allow us to generate better ideas, make better decisions, and build a more resilient organisation. Beyond diversity, a culture of belonging and inclusion enables us to unlock each individual’s potential and harness the strengths of diverse teams.
Each year, we reinforce our belief that everyone should feel comfortable to bring their authentic selves to work through initiatives that promote inclusion and belonging.
Fireside Chat with Minister Indranee Rajah
We had the honour of hosting Ms Indranee Rajah, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Finance and National Development, on 10 March 2026 for an exclusive fireside chat with our Chief People Officer Deanna Ong.
This session was organised in partnership with the Financial Women’s Association of Singapore, and featured a networking lunch for attendees to share perspectives and commitment on gender parity in the financial sector. An honest conversation touched on a variety of topics from the importance of mentorship to the role organisations play in shaping inclusive policies.
“Check For Excellence” Brand Campaign
Our employer brand campaign, “Check for Excellence” recognises women whose strengths and values reflect true excellence, while reaffirming our commitment to attracting and developing exceptional female talent who will shape GIC’s continued success.
This campaign supports our goal of attracting, developing, and retaining exceptional women who contribute fresh perspectives and drive strong performance. By highlighting how we hire based on excellence, it reinforces our meritocratic culture and demonstrates how diversity, including gender diversity, enhances decision‑making and innovation.
We aim to broaden the pool of women candidates while maintaining excellence as the foundation of every hire. Recruiting women whose values align with GIC’s culture is not only part of who we are, but also a business imperative. Diversity drives better decisions and innovation across teams, strengthening GIC's ability to navigate complexity and deliver sustainable long‑term performance. It’s not about ticking diversity boxes; it highlights the importance of valuing everyone’s abilities and character, ensuring they receive the right support and opportunities to grow.
Disability Inclusion
We are proud to be conferred the Enabling Mark (Gold) in 2025, a national-level accreditation framework that benchmarks and recognises organisations for their best practices and outcomes in disability-inclusive employment, by SG Enable, Singapore’s focal agency for disability inclusion. We were first awarded the Enabling Mark (Silver) in 2021.
Since 2023, GIC has taken part in the annual contingent march at The Purple Parade. Our employees – with and without disabilities – come together to promote awareness and celebrate abilities of the disabled. The wholehearted support of our employees means that our contingent is among the largest at the event!
GIC supports inclusive employment of PWDs under our GIC Enable Programme (GEP), opening channels for individuals to be employed in GIC and beyond. This aligns with our broader organisational and social commitment to help build communities that are confident and prepared for the future.
Through our GEP programme, we offer internships to undergraduates with disabilities with the possibility of full-time conversion. We aim to contribute to a more equitable society, and believe the GIC internship will go a long way towards building up the students’ professional experience and confidence, and open more pathways and opportunities for them.
At GIC, we believe talent comes in many forms, and we also invite experienced professionals with disabilities to join us.
