SERVICE WITH INTEGRITY

Corporate Responsibility

While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water.

He came closer still and called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?

"The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean.

"The old man smiled, and said, "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?

"To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.

"Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, "But, young man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!

"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it into the back into the ocean past the breaking waves and said,
"It made a difference for that one."

Whilst Innovare is but a drop in the corporate ocean, we hope to make a difference in our sphere of operations.

My experience has been very positive in terms of both the quality and responsiveness of their services and support during my period on Innovare's books.

Their personnel have always been very courteous and helpful and extremely willing to resolve non-standard issues.

I was impressed from the first meeting I had with Harry Loh and felt extremely reassured that we were in safe hands due to your extensive experience in Asia.

In addition to this I have been very impressed with the very professional way you also approached our staff employment pass applications.

The encouragement and support of your team has always been very well received and I would have no hesitation in recommending Innovare and in fact already have."

PRO Unlimited Global (HK)

"We have called upon the services of Innovare to manage our employees and temporary workforce in Asia Pacific in the areas of immigration management, payroll administration and tax compliance. As we were new to the region, we relied on Innovare's local knowledge and competencies to ensure that our workforce are properly established in accordance with local guidelines, particularly in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan, where our clients operate.

We find the team to be professional in hand-holding us through the minefield of compliance matters. The team attending to the many specific requirements of our multi-national clients handle the matters arising promptly and effectively. In spite of the time difference with our offices (based in the US), we've found the responsiveness of the team to be of a very high level. They fully appreciate the need to maintain a high level of compliance in the service they render in keeping with the stringent guidelines placed on us as a US company. In short, it gives us peace of mind to know that our workforce is well managed.

We are pleased to be partnering Innovare in managing our workforce in the region and without hesitation, commend to you the services of Innovare."
