How PropertyGuru supports Gurus in finding balance at work and beyond

At PropertyGuru, being balanced is about creating a working environment where Gurus feel trusted, supported, and able to manage both work and life in a sustainable way.

For Qi Wei Wong, Senior Finance Manager in Singapore, that trust has shaped the way he works. “What I value is that there is trust here. You are trusted to manage your time, your responsibilities, and still deliver what needs to be done.”

In Finance, busy periods and tight deadlines are part of the role. There are times that require focus, long hours and close coordination across teams. But for Qi Wei, what makes a difference is the flexibility and understanding around how the work gets done.

That balance shows up in everyday ways, from hybrid working to the ease of planning leave when needed. There is an understanding that Gurus are empowered to take ownership of their work, while also making space for personal commitments and moments that matter outside of work.

For Qi Wei, this became especially meaningful when he became a father. With PropertyGuru’s equal parental leave for fathers and mothers, he was able to take the time he needed to be present for his family. Just as importantly, he felt supported by his team to step away during that period, knowing that work was being managed and that he could return when ready.

“It’s not just flexibility on paper. It’s the support you feel when it matters.”

For Qi Wei, being balanced does not mean doing less. It means being trusted to manage work and life in a way that allows him to show up well for both. With the right policies, trust and team understanding, Gurus are empowered to deliver at work while also making time for their wellbeing and families.
