As Singtel moves towards its aim of being Asia’s leading
multimedia and ICT service provider, one thing remains:
our commitment to being a leading employer. We strive to
provide challenges and opportunities for our people and
foster a work environment that supports both professional
and personal development, teamwork and collaboration,
and a positive perspective on work-life integration. We also
believe that workforce diversity is essential to building
and sustaining our competitive advantage through the
fostering of innovative solutions, and greater flexibility and
responsiveness to business needs.
As a leading employer, we are committed to developing
and maintaining an inclusive and collaborative workplace
and culture. Through our values, policies and behaviours,
we aim to promote an environment where individual
differences are recognised and valued. Our people have the
opportunity to realise their potential and contribute to our
overall success. |

A winning team is also the result of good relationships and
Singtel works hard to maintain positive interactions with
our internal and external stakeholders directly relating
to our human resource function. Internally, we promote
a variety of staff engagement initiatives and external
relationships with government agencies and trade unions,
for example, remain constructive and favourable.
One of the most pleasing elements of our annual
staff engagement survey was an increase in the CSR
Engagement score. We believe that engaged employees
feel happier at work and are more motivated and higher
performing. With CSR Engagement, the better our people
understand how our commitment to sustainable business
practices affects the overall corporate strategy, and the
more traction we will gain in promoting a sustainable
company.
The survey, undertaken by a leading independent
consultant, benchmarks the results on a sector and
global basis. Singtel’s CSR Engagement score of 83% is
5% above Singapore National norm, 9% above the Global
Telecommunications Sector norm and 1% above the Global
High Performance Company norm. |
