TALENT ATTRACTION AND RETENTION

DMA

We need to build a strong pipeline of technical specialists and leaders to support Singtel Group’s sustainable growth. Hence, attracting and retaining talent is our priority and we create a workplace environment where our people can develop at both professional and personal levels.

ATTRACTING TALENT

We hire people at two levels: experienced professionals and graduates who are just entering the workforce. Across the Group, we leverage relationships with local and international institutions, as well as social media platforms and career fairs to promote working for our company. We continue to develop our young talent pipeline through scholarships, cadetships and career coaching support.

Our successful Management Associate Programme, where our talents are rotated across the business over two years and provided with mentoring support, took in 54 graduates across Singapore and Australia in FY2015, compared to 43 graduates a year ago.

RETAINING TALENT

Career growth opportunities, recognition and reward and work satisfaction are important for employee retention. We therefore monitor our employee engagement scores and retention rates very closely.

Grooming Leaders

To foster career growth of our employees, we launched the SCORE leadership competencies in 2014. SCORE applies to how we lead ourselves, our people and business and covers all levels of the company – because we believe that every employee is a leader.

SCORE has been integrated into various aspects of the employee life cycle commencing from Recruitment, Learning and Development, Engagement and Talent Management.
