The Excellent Service Awards (EXSA) is a national award launched in 1994. Administered by Spring Singapore, this annual award recognizes service models and champions at a national level. It seeks to encourage and motivate all levels of workers in the service industry in Singapore to deliver quality service and professionalism at all times. Since 1994, EXSA has grown with the participation from more service companies – testimony to the value of the award in rewarding and recognizing service staff who have put in their best in building service quality.

The award is conferred at four levels: Silver, Gold, Star and SuperStar awards. The SuperStar Award winners are selected from among the Star Award winners of each industry cluster, and are exemplary role models who have delivered outstanding service and have delighted customers by exceeding their expectations.
