Are there actually companies in Singapore seriously supporting employees who want kids?

Curious if anyone here actually works at a company in Singapore that’s genuinely supportive of people who want to have kids.

Not just the basic maternity leave everyone legally has to provide, but policies/culture that actually make starting a family feel realistic.

Things like:

  • proper parental leave for both parents
  • flexible or remote work without hurting your career
  • reasonable expectations/hours after having kids
  • childcare support
  • managers who don’t quietly sideline parents during promotion time
  • fertility / IVF support

Feels like we talk a lot about Singapore’s low TFR, but honestly I rarely hear people mention companies that are actually doing this well in practice.

Would be interesting to hear which firms are getting it right, and what policies genuinely make a difference in real life.
