Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect by virtue of being human, and every person has an intrinsic need to feel valued and needed. Yet, in our world, there is often a gap between the ideals and realities of how dignity is accorded to individuals across age, gender, social statuses and financial positions. In this issue, I'd like to bring attention to the topic of dignity, and the ways which we can protect & honour the dignity of others and ourselves.

Building dignity and purpose to create greater performance and wellbeing

A pandemic, economic volatility and unimaginable pressures are accelerating a re-think of what it takes to build dignity and purpose and work. Never has the concept of organizational purpose been so well understood, the importance of wellbeing so crucial or the need for respect so great.

Cheng An Qi, Auditor, PriceWaterhouseCoopers

I have known Mei Jin since we were 4 and we have been inseparable since. We have seen each other through the ups and downs of life over the past 21 years; and she has been like a sister to me. I trust Mei Jin to be my financial consultant because of her dedication, sincerity and kindness toward others. These traits are important as a financial advisor who regularly monitors portfolios, and ensures alignment of investments with clients’ financial goals. Despite pursuing different education and career paths, Mei Jin has always made extra effort to maintain our friendship, showcasing her character as someone who values connections. On top of that, Mei Jin has always been affable, thus allowing me to feel comfortable despite being an introvert myself. We have also made many wonderful friends due to this special trait of hers. I can always count on her to give her best as she has always made sure the people around her are well taken care of. Hence, she is someone I trust to provide me with the best when it comes to achieving my life goals. In 2017, when Mei Jin expressed to me that she decided to pursue her passion as a Financial Consultant, I had no doubt that this would be a career path in which she would flourish in, and she did! When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, my family ran into financial difficulties as my father was self-employed. As the breadwinner of our family, this caused us to lose a significant portion of our household income. Being a student with little to no information about the relevant income support schemes made available at that time, I felt helpless, and looked to Mei Jin for help. She diligently did her own research, compiled, and updated me as soon as schemes were introduced by the government, and even went a step further to personally message me with relevant income support schemes that my father was eligible for. I was extremely grateful and relieved, knowing that she kept my family in mind, and showed her support during this time of difficulty. Through this, I am confident that my family is well taken care of with Mei Jin as our financial consultant. I highly recommend Mei Jin to people who are looking for an all encompassing individual as their financial consultant. There is no doubt in my mind that she will always be helpful and available. She is extremely easy to work with despite my busy schedule and has always responded quickly to my queries and concerns. With every milestone in life or change in my life, she is quick to present me with the financial options that best suit my needs! You can expect nothing but the best from her :D

Besides being a friend, Meijin has also been a very dedicated financial advisor who has been guiding me for a few years now, and she always has my best interests at heart. Not only is she the epitome of competent and professional, she is also benign and incredibly patient when answering my queries and concerns, linking me up with relevant resources whenever necessary. I am deeply appreciative of Meijin for what she has done for me, and with no hesitation, I would definitely recommend her exceptional service to those around me.

Ann, Business Owner, Anndol Floral

Having known Mei Jin since secondary school, I have regularly confided in her as not only is she a great listener, she also gives me insightful opinions and advice. Her genuinity makes it easy for me to fully have faith in her as my financial advisor later on in life as well, as I know that she also has my best interests in heart - seeing how she makes many comprehensive comparisons before presenting me with the best plan. This makes me feel comfortable sharing my personal goals and sensitive information with her. As a financial consultant, Mei Jin is incredibly efficient in replying to enquiries such as the re-clarification of plans and she is able to do this as she is constantly keeping up with the new changes in policies or new government regulations that might affect my financial goals. Furthermore, she is also succinct when presenting you with the most accurate information and best advice - a big bonus if you are someone who values efficiency and time. I also love how she is very accommodative to my schedule, which means meetings can happen anywhere and anytime! Not only has it been a pleasant experience, but it’s also been the best one! Thus, I highly recommend Meijin, as she has ample knowledge in this field and you can trust that she would ALWAYS have your best interests in mind :)

Chong Shu En, Senior Auditor, PWC

Throughout her schooling years, Mei Jin has always been a great friend, who was willing to serve others and she also took on leadership roles with pride. At some point, you would be able to understand why she pursued the role of a financial consultant. She is constantly looking out for the people around her, and is genuine when listening to the worries of others. With all these personal traits, I’m incredibly proud of her for taking up this career path which allows her to do something she is passionate about - helping others! As I feel like I’m still rather young, financial planning has always taken a back seat in my life. However, Meijin advised me to start financial planning as early as possible since we never know what tomorrow will bring. Whether it's a health issue or changes in our career, it's better to be prepared for things we cannot anticipate. Her passion and dedication as a financial adviser shows in the many ways that she reaches out to me, listening and understanding my needs before recommending a policy appropriate for me. She also provides frequent check-ins, even after policies have been signed to update me on the newest plans and to ensure that my needs have been met. As a financial advisor, you can expect her to be attentive to your issues and needs, as she is responsible and takes pride in her recommendations. Mei Jin is knowledgeable in her field and always strives to do better than yesterday. You should also expect to have a great long-term working relationship with her as she will always try her best to provide great service, not only as a financial consultant, but also as a friend!

Ong Yinn Liang, Manager, HPB

I got to know Meijin at a school camp before she joined the insurance industry. As my financial consultant, what I really appreciated about our interactions was her patient, gentle manner of providing recommendations to me. She is also extremely well-versed in her field and is able to break down complex financial concepts, making it easier for me to understand. Even though others are presumably expected to demonstrate such characteristics in a sales-driven industry, with Mei Jin, it was the after-sales service that gave me comfort in my choice. She keeps all lines of communication open, updating me on current financial issues and opportunities, also putting in effort to compare other companies’ policies with what she has to offer. She points out facts but ultimately leaves the final decision to me without being overly pushy. This really indicated to me that she really put herself in my shoes and addressed every concern that I may have, before presenting me with the best policy for me. Seeing how transparent she is, this invokes trust and thus builds my confidence in her recommendations. I’m glad to have such a friend to count on to provide valuable opinions and thus, Mei Jin is an easy recommendation to anyone looking for financial advice.

Yurong Chong, Trust & Safety, Facebook

Having interacted with many others within the industry, I highly recommend Mei Jin as a great friend and professional to strategise and entrust your financial plans with! She possesses some of these key traits which I deeply value: sincere and trustworthy; prioritises clients’ needs as opposed to hard-selling; and more importantly, is swift in responding (which is essential, especially during an emergency). Moreover, she is a great listener who provided insightful perspectives during our discussions and eventually recommended customised financial solutions which caters to my current goals and needs. This is a major plus point. Given her outgoing personality and professionalism, it will be easy for anyone to work with her and be entrust that their finances are in safe hands 💯
