NURTURING OUR PEOPLE TO POWER OUR FUTURE

Our people are our most important asset and we ensure that they are equipped with the relevant skills to navigate a fast-changing global landscape. We take a proactive approach to the future of work as we recognise the huge impact on business from rapid digitisation. Hence, we continue to improve the digital literacy and capabilities of our people through various training initiatives. By grooming a digital workforce and workplace, we enhance our employee experience and drive Singtel’s overall digital transformation.

ATTRACTING AND RETAINING TALENT

We have ramped up our efforts to attract digitally-savvy candidates to ensure we remain relevant in the new economy. Part of this effort involves promoting Singtel’s thought leadership in the areas of digital transformation journey and employer value proposition at recruitment events. We also launched a new Digital Leadership Experience programme in FY 2019 to develop leaders of digital businesses.

GENDER DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We strongly believe that diversity in the workplace is a key competitive advantage for us, providing a broad range of insights and opinions reflective of the diverse markets we operate in. To foster such diversity, we are committed to increasing the representation of women in senior leadership and technical roles. Singtel was one of only four Singapore companies and the only Southeast Asian communications company to be recognised for our gender diversity efforts when we were listed in the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. We were also part of the Thomson Reuters IX Global Diversity and Inclusion Index 2018.
