About AETOS

A member of the Surbana Jurong Group, AETOS Holdings is a leading unified security solutions provider based in Singapore. Established in 2004 following the strategic merger of three key Auxiliary Police Forces, AETOS has more than 70 years of collective experience in safeguarding key national maritime, aviation, and infrastructure installations. Since then, it has spearheaded efforts to transform the security industry by leveraging innovative technologies, upskilling its 5000-strong workforce, and expanding its capabilities to accelerate all of AETOS’s business areas. AETOS is committed to unlocking transformative value for its stakeholders through a suite of integrated and sustainable ops-tech solutions, and works closely together with them to secure a safer future.

Our Mantra

Since day one, AETOS has been committed to Securing Our Future. We recognise that it is a collective responsibility and we are going beyond for our stakeholders by being an Agile, Cohesive and Extraordinary (ACE) organization. Centred on our greatest asset - our people, we pride ourselves in creating a culture where our employees feel valued and recognised, regardless of ethnicity, gender, religious belief, nationality, age or disability. As a purpose-driven organization, we also endeavour to be the first-movers to champion change and industry transformation by creating a multi-skilled and sustainable workforce, leveraging innovative technologies, and advancing diversity and inclusivity within the organisation.

Championing Diversity & Inclusion

Take for instance, AETOS was the first security firm in Singapore to receive the Enabling Mark accreditation, a national-level framework by disability support organisation SG Enable that benchmarks and recognises organizations for best practices and outcomes in disability-inclusive employment.

Security has always been a male-dominated sector or career of choice, but AETOS celebrates diversity and see value in empowering women with high potential in the organisation. Since we introduced our women leadership programme, there has been a distinct increase in the number of female employees, as well as those in managerial positions. In the last five years, AETOS saw 50% more women in leadership positions and a 300% increase in the total number of female employees.

Fostering an Engaged Workforce

As part of our employee engagement strategies, AETOS adopts a multi-pronged, multi-channel approach to ensure that the contributions and achievements of our people do not go unnoticed. For example, we recognise and reward our employees through meaningful ways such as “Extraordinary Award” and monthly performance incentives, long service awards and profile features across AETOS’ internal and external communication channels.

To further drive engagement and collaboration within the organisation, we also leverage technologies including a digital communication tool – Workplace by Meta platform, which enables all employees to connect with one another, gain access to policies and latest news or announcements, and even direct communication with the highest level of management team to provide valuable feedback.

Maintaining a Healthy Workforce

At AETOS, we aim to build a sustainable and resilient workforce ecosystem. For our employees to be their best selves, it is pivotal to focus on all aspects of their well-being – physical, mental, financial and social. This is achieved by implementing robust programmes such as having established a strong network of in-house well-being coaches to provide the necessary emotional care and psychological support for fellow colleagues, employee wellness webinars and an in-house gym to improve employees’ physical health and fitness levels.

Growing Our Talents

We see technology as an enabler of value creation for not just our clients, but our employees as well. Take for instance, we have utilised e-learning as part of our training methods. By doing so, it enhances and catalyses workplace learning for our officers – empowering them to learn at their own pace, place and with ease. Such blended learning programmes not only save a considerable amount of time, but provides a well-rounded and personalised training experience for our employees.

Supporting lifelong learning and the continuous pursuit of skills mastery, we actively encourage our people to learn new skills and diversify their capabilities at every stage of the employee lifecycle. AETOS also regularly identifies talent and plans for their career advancement and succession of critical leadership roles in the company. We provide opportunities for long-term professional and personal development through a comprehensive training framework, which focuses on core skilling, reskilling and upskilling that empowers our employees to assume higher responsibilities.

This not only enables AETOS to contribute towards developing a sustainable talent pipeline of professionals for the sector, it also helps the organisation to improve overall morale and unleash the potential of our employees.
