As Chinese New Year approaches and populations around the globe prepare to welcome in the year of the Wood Dragon, we wanted to take this opportunity to shine a light on the work of our Singapore office, and how K2’s unique culture has been brought to life in this region.
Set up in 2008, K2 Singapore was the third of K2’s global offices to open.
Since being established over 15 years ago, the Singapore operation has gone from strength to strength, and is now one of the businesses key regional hubs, as well as housing a growing team of immigration and relocation services specialists, who are well-positioned to expertly serve our clients in Asia and beyond.
Several members of the team have also joined K2’s ‘X Annos’ family, an ever-expanding group of employees with 10 years or more service at K2; testament to K2’s global Great Place To Work® status.
K2 Singapore moved to their new office in Q2 of 2023.
A space designed around collaboration and connectivity, this improved environment reflecting K2’s ethos and culture, has enhanced the team’s ability to deliver personal, high quality service.
‘Can Lah’, the two words that hang boldly in neon on one of the office walls, form a colloquial ‘Singlish’ phrase used to reassure someone that something can be done, and is a fitting embodiment of the team’s ‘Can-do’ attitude, and drive to go above and beyond to support not only clients, but their colleagues too. A keen ability to manifest their ambitions into actions is something they share with the zodiac symbol for 2024: the Wood Dragon.
The Wood Dragon represents a balance of strength and adaptability, care and creativity. Those born under the year of the Wood Dragon are often highly motivated and enjoy fulfilling careers, sentiments mirrored by the K2 Singapore team.
If you need support with relocation or immigration services in this region, get in touch with K2 Singapore. Can Lah!
