Business continuity was the main priority and we quickly realized this can only be achieved by taking care of our employees.

I would like to thank everyone at Cisco Singapore for their commitment and resilience,"

This recognition is made possible through the strength of our culture at Cisco and the progress that we have made to empower our teams, instill trust, passion, and a strong sense of belonging even while we were working remotely during the year.
