Singapore [April 7th, 2026] — Slasify, a global HR and Employer of Record (EOR) platform that helps companies hire and manage international teams, has joined Stewardship Asia Centre (SAC), an initiative under Temasek Trust, as a Supporting Partner for Steward Leadership 25 (SL25). SL25 is SAC’s flagship annual recognition that celebrates organisations across Asia-Pacific that demonstrate strong steward leadership.
This partnership builds on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between Slasify and SAC on November 7, 2025, during the China International Import Expo (CIIE). The agreement focuses on collaboration in steward leadership training and advisory initiatives.
Building on substantial communication and consensus, Ms. Jessie Zhu, Strategic Development Director of CIIC Overseas, Ms. Joanna Soh, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of SAC and Mr. Andrew Yeh, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Slasify, formally signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on behalf of their respective organizations.
Steward Leadership 25 (SL25) recognises 25 organisations whose initiatives demonstrate responsible leadership while creating sustainable value for stakeholders, society, and future generations. The programme is guided by SAC’s Steward Leadership Compass, which encourages leaders to balance economic growth with social and environmental responsibility.
As a Supporting Partner, Slasify joins a network of organisations that promote responsible leadership and sustainable business practices across the region.
ShihYi Yang, Strategy Director at Slasify, said:
“Steward Leadership emphasises creating long-term value for stakeholders, society and future generations. At Slasify, we see global workforce strategy as a powerful enabler of that vision—helping organisations scale responsibly while building resilient and inclusive teams across borders.”
Through this partnership, Slasify will help identify and nominate organisations from its regional ecosystem, including clients and partners, whose initiatives align with steward leadership principles.
The collaboration also creates opportunities for Slasify to engage organisations in deeper discussions around ESG strategy, leadership development, and organisational transformation.
Yang added:
“Our partnership with Stewardship Asia Centre creates a natural entry point for meaningful consulting conversations around ESG, leadership and organisational development. By connecting SAC’s steward leadership philosophy with Slasify’s global workforce expertise, we can help companies translate purpose-driven leadership into practical, scalable organisational strategies.”
As part of the partnership, Slasify will also participate in the Steward Leadership Summit this October, where more than 300 regional leaders from business, government, and civil society gather to exchange ideas and explore collaborative solutions for sustainable growth.
The summit provides a platform for Slasify to strengthen relationships within the Temasek ecosystem while connecting with organisations seeking strategic guidance on leadership and workforce transformation.
Yang noted:
“This collaboration reinforces Slasify’s role as a trusted cross-border HR partner. Beyond operational HR solutions, we aim to bring strategic advisory value that helps organisations build future-ready teams and lead with purpose in an increasingly interconnected world.”
Slasify provides technology-enabled HR infrastructure that helps companies hire, onboard, and manage international teams across more than 150 countries without establishing local entities.
By combining operational HR capabilities with strategic advisory services, Slasify enables organisations to expand globally while building sustainable and responsible workforce strategies aligned with steward leadership principles.
