Honours Roll award<br />
from K. Shanmugam,<br />
Singapore’s Minister<br />
for Home Affairs and<br />
Minister for Law, at the<br />
Home Team National<br />
Service Awards<br />
Presentation Ceremony<br />
on 26 October 2010<br />
in Singapore.<br />
Behind every operationally-ready National<br />
Serviceman (NSmen), is a supportive employer.<br />
Despite the sometimes inconveniences, support<br />
given by employers to the NSmen has remained high.<br />
<strong>Toll</strong> Global Logistics has been a firm believer in<br />
promoting the releasing of employees for their National<br />
Service obligations. This helps staff to focus on their<br />
duties, supporting the safety and security of Singapore.<br />
In recognition of the consistent support to NSmen by top<br />
tier companies in Singapore, the Minister’s Honours Roll<br />
was introduced by the Home Team in 2008 to recognise<br />
top employers who have shown exemplary support for<br />
their NSmen.<br />
<strong>Toll</strong> Global Logistics is among the five new companies<br />
awarded this year, and put in place initiatives that minimise<br />
deferrals as well as programs to promote physical fitness<br />
among its NS employees and various forms of recognition<br />
for outstanding NS performance.<br />
Dennis Seen, Deputy Director for Integrated Logistics,<br />
explained the supportive role <strong>Toll</strong> plays in Singapore. He<br />
said, “At <strong>Toll</strong> Global Logistics we support and recognise the<br />
contribution of every NSman in their total defence activities.<br />
Outstanding performers can look forward to receive<br />
commendations and rewards from the company. They will<br />
be given an incentive equivalent to 50 percent of what is<br />
awarded for their IPPT. In addition, staff who demonstrate<br />
excellent performance will be awarded with an additional<br />
day off ”.<br />
wayne Hunt, President and Chief Executive Officer<br />
represented <strong>Toll</strong> Global Logistics in receiving the award<br />
from K. Shanmugam, Singapore’s Minister for Home<br />
Affairs and Minister for Law, during a ceremony officiated<br />
by the Singapore Police Force and in the presence of<br />
the Ministry of Home Affairs and Singapore Civil Defence<br />
Force on 26 October 2010 in Singapore.<br />
Wayne said, “<strong>Toll</strong> Global Logistics has a policy to ensure<br />
all staff who are undergoing their military obligations will<br />
be supported. Their task at work will be redesignated to<br />
other staff while they are away. By doing so, it gives them<br />
a peace of mind to concentrate fully on their NS roles”.<br />
With the support employees receive, they are motivated<br />
for their training and can expect to return to work feeling<br />
fitter and more focussed.<br />
“My company fully supports me when I am required for<br />
my NS duties. My job is planned for and reallocated to<br />
other colleagues while I am away so that I can concentrate<br />
on my NS duties,” said LCP (nS) Effendy Bin Kamsan,<br />
a Home Team NSman and an employee in <strong>Toll</strong> Global<br />
Logistics in Singapore.<br />
<strong>Toll</strong> Global Logistics is proud to support its staff in<br />
Singapore as they fulfil their commitment to their country<br />
and community. n<br />
