Since 2020, Roche and Singapore Cancer Society (SCS) have collaborated on the Return To Work (RTW) programme that helps cancer survivors assess their readiness for reemployment and rehabilitate them to meet demands of vocational roles and find jobs. Over the years, the programme has enrolled nearly 130 survivors with many of them successfully returned to work, and also developed a Cancer Inclusive Guide to support employers with implementation of a cancer-friendly work environment.
Roche has also been recognized for its contributions to the Community Chest SHARE workplace giving programme since 2018. Roche helps employees who want to donate to do so via a monthly deduction from the payroll, which the company then matches on a dollar-to-dollar basis. This year, Roche became a Platinum awardee for its strong participation in this programme.
