At Nam Soon Timber, teamwork and dedication have always been at the heart of the company’s success. Recently, a special team-building session led by Michael Cheah was held to strengthen these bonds and remind the workers that they are valued, not just as employees, but as an integral part of the Nam Soon family.
The session was more than just an activity; it was a reminder that Shane, the boss of Nam Soon Timber, truly cares about each worker. For many of the team members, living and working in Singapore is an experience far from home, filled with challenges. Shane wanted to emphasize that Nam Soon isn’t just a workplace—it’s a second home where every team member’s well-being matters.
Through Michael’s guidance, the workers were encouraged to see themselves not just as employees working to meet deadlines but as partners in a shared mission to build the company together. Shane’s care was expressed through thoughtful exercises and messages, reinforcing the idea that when we work together, we rise together. Every success of the company is a success for each worker, and vice versa.
Many of Nam Soon’s workers come from different countries, leaving behind family and friends to build a better future in Singapore. This team-building session was a moment to refocus their energy on their goals—both personal and professional—and to remember the reasons they came to Singapore. Their hard work is not just building the company but also securing a better life for their families back home.
Michael’s session highlighted how Singapore, though foreign to many at first, can become a place they can also call home. A home isn’t just where you live—it’s where you grow, build relationships, and contribute to something bigger than yourself. By working together and supporting one another, Nam Soon can be a place where these workers not only thrive in their careers but also create meaningful connections in Singapore.
The team-building activities weren’t just fun and games; they were designed to inspire a culture of unity. Every person in the company has a unique role to play, and by working together, Nam Soon Timber can continue to grow and succeed.
Michael encouraged the workers to take pride in their contributions, reminding them that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Each plank of timber they handle, each task they complete, is building something greater—a company that values them, and a future where they can achieve their goals.
As the team-building session wrapped up, it was clear that the workers left with more than just new skills. They left with a sense of purpose, knowing that Shane cares about their future and that Nam Soon Timber is more than just a job—it’s a place where they are valued.
The session helped strengthen the bond between the workers and the company, redirecting their focus to their personal goals and reminding them that together, we build not just timber structures, but a stronger future for all.
Nam Soon Timber is not just a company—it’s a community, and through this team-building session, that sense of community has only grown stronger. Whether it’s the work they do or the lives they are building in Singapore, the message is clear: We’re in this together.
