| The well-being of our employees remains a priorty. Our goals for sustainable growth would not have been possible without our dedicated and healthy workforce. |

| Employee benefits |
| In addition to complying with the statutory requirements of employer contributions to the Central Provident Fund, Singtel provides a variety of employee benefits. These benefits, also available for part-time employees, include comprehensive healthcare insurance, annual leave, flexible family leave, health and wellness programmes and staff discounts on Singtel products and services. |

| Work-life integration |
To meet the varying work life demands of our employees, we have family-friendly policies such as flexible work schedules, part-time employment, telecommuting, various forms of family leave arrangements and on-site childcare facilities. Our people appreciate these options with more than 70% of our eligible staff adopting the various initiatives.
All employees and their immediate family members have access to professional counselling services on work life issues through the Employee Assistance Programmes run by external consultants.
Singtel Recreation Club organises a variety of events to promote inclusivity and cohesion across Singtel’s extensive workforce, ranging from exercise sessions, mass participation in marathons to nature walks. Special interest groups are also available to bring diverse people with common interests together. About 4,900 of our employees took part in this wide selection of programmes during the year. |

| A healthy and safe work environment |
| Health of employees is taken very seriously at Singtel. We provide a selection of medical plans to suit the varied needs of our employees and their families. Health clubs and gymnasiums are available on-site, along with staff cafeterias that provide a diverse range of healthy dietary options. We also believe in providing a safe work environment not only because of regulation but because it is the right thing to do. |

As part of our Health and Wellness programmes, all regular employees enjoy free health screening every year. During the year, we introduced a new initiative – Weight Management programme – to help employees to lead a healthy lifestyle and in the process, achieve long-term weight loss and weight maintenance. 53% of the participants of the pilot run achieved their target.
We also actively promote awareness on workplace occupational health. We have a Health, Safety & Environment policy statement that supports the Workplace Safety & Health (WSH) Act in Singapore. The WSH Act is a framework to promote strong safety culture in the workplace. We held a week-long WSH exhibition at our office premises during our CSR Month to reach out to our staff on the importance of WSH and that it is every individual’s responsibility to look after their own safety. A dedicated WSH committee, chaired by Group Director Human Resources, aims to provide a healthy and safe work environment for all our stakeholders. |
