Our Employment Practices

Inclusive Employment

As a social enterprise, CaptionCube’s key social impact is in the area of inclusive employment. To date, we have provided remote working opportunities to close to 20 persons with physical disabilities and autism.

In terms of social impact, the total income earned by persons with disabilities working with us has grown 10 times since 2017. In 2019, 12.4% of our revenue went to the income of persons with disabilities. In the same year, CaptionCube was also recognised for our inclusive employment efforts at 5th Enabling Employer Awards organised by SG Enable.

In 2020, CaptionCube signed the President’s Challenge Enabling Employment Pledge to reaffirm our commitment to inclusive employment.

Workplace Wellness

We value our team members and their wellness in all aspects of life. To celebrate and make time for the many things in life besides work, we hold inclusive events to bring our community together for fun activities and social interactions. In 2020, as part of our HR policy, we formalised flexible work arrangements (FWAs) to support our team in achieving their work and life goals.

Hear from our teammates

The daily commute to work is a challenge for me as I’m not able to walk long distances. For a long time, I was not sure how to go about finding a suitable full-time job. I’m happy working at CaptionCube because I’m able to work from home and the work I do resonates with my passion to support the Deaf community.

I’ve been learning a lot from subtitling different TV programmes, some of which are interesting and inspiring. I used to think that I was an introvert, but after working with the CaptionCube team, I enjoy meeting up with people more.
I’ve become an extroverted-introvert!

Nicole,

Executive, Operations & Disability Inclusion

“The flexibility to work from home allowed me to take on my first full-time job with CaptionCube as a transcriptionist. As I’m not able to travel independently and due to my family’s concerns, I did not have the chance to attempt a full-time job before this.

The work with CaptionCube has allowed me to gain more knowledge and build more skillsets. I gained a sense of financial independence from having a stable job.”

Agnes,

Community Engagement aka Jiopal

“I joined CaptionCube quite by chance, but the experience so far has been eye-opening. I’ve had plenty of opportunities to try new things and learn new skills in areas like captioning, translation and business development, all of which have helped me hone existing skills, gain confidence in my own abilities and develop myself as an individual and working professional.

Working in a social enterprise that advocates inclusive employment has been meaningful and enriching as well. It gave me a chance to mentor, support and work closely with people from all walks of life, and to have received the Enabling Buddy Award at the 5th Enabling Employers Award in recognition of my efforts as supervisor and buddy to my colleagues and freelancers is truly an honour.”
