Promoting a culture of Diversity and Inclusion at Workplace The Bank provides a unique workplace and culture that embraces diversity and inclusion, allowing its people to bring their true self to work, contribute, be motivated, and engaged, and be rewarded and recognized for their contribution. Staff are encouraged to share different views and opinions, and give constructive challenge regardless of age, gender, nationality/ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation, etc. Since June 2019, several initiatives have gone live such as Financial Education, Goal program, celebration of special days such as International Men/Women’s Day, topic talks, etc. under D&I Council and Women Internal Network (WIN).

Employee benefits - maintaining competitive benefits scheme

Besides offering employees working facilities of international standards, the bank’s personnel policies are regularly updated with appropriate remuneration, recruitment, training, and reward policies to stimulate employees and ensure positive staff engagement. The Bank has been actively addressing employees’ needs in terms of safety, stability, and security, especially during Covid-19 crisis including:

• Job security: No job-laid off due to Covid-19
