"When you're fresh from school, one can
expect to make a lot of mistakes. So an
organisation with a nurturing environment
where one can be guided back to the right
path is an attractive one,"
Learning beyond courses and
Staying Happy with work-life harmony
Meet Jazlyn Chua from our Manpower Development team
who joins IDA straight after university. She shares how
learning at IDA takes place beyond courses and how flexi-
work benefits is a boon for young parents like her.
“The learning journey has not ended even
after leaving the university. There is
something new to experience almost every
day. New people to meet, new technology
to adopt, new skills to learn and fresh views
to understand. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in
school!"
Something “New” Everyday
"I was attracted to the job scope and the growth opportunity, as well as IDA's pro-
family culture. Since I've joined, I've gotten married and started a family but I have
no worries because of the strong support I get from my team."
A Different “Classroom”
Achieving Work-Life Harmony
"Much of what I've learnt at IDA has
also helped develop my personal life.
For example, I've learnt to be
empathetic and patient in the right
situations, and to 'press the button'
when it is crucial to do so. I guess that's
what some call employing 'hard' and
'soft' skills in the right context."
