We embrace an open communication culture and have a series of
internal communication channels. Apart from the traditional options like
sending emails and connecting via phone calls, we have our ‘Hub’ - an
internal interactive platform, an ‘Ask Chairmen’ forum and ‘Ask Chairmen
Live’ where colleagues have the chance to direct any questions to the
Chairmen face to face. Other ways we reach out to our people include
our weekly wrap up – a weekly fi rm-wide newsletter, the China portal,
Pulse TV, People Network and Global People Survey. All of these tools
are there to ensure that our people are able to communicate with seniors
frequently in terms of their ideas and general feedback. All the input is
regularly reviewed by the management to ensure that constructive ideas
are implemented and that people have their say.
Every year, we conduct our Global People Survey, which measures
our people’s perception regarding how well our leaders engage, enable
and energise people to demonstrate the desirable behaviours and live up
to our purpose and vision. It provides the leadership with essential informa-
tion on the drivers of our business performance and employee engagement
levels. High performers are recognised and rewarded for their achieve-
ments that are directly linked to our values and purpose with awards like
the ‘Bravo award’, ‘Standing Ovation’ and ‘Employee of the Year’.
Apart from work, we believe that fi nding time to rela[ is also
fundamental to a happy and
healthy life. We organise a
wide range of activities through
our myLife programme to help
our people to fi nd a balance
between their professional and
personal lives. We have 50+
interest groups, apart from
sports and cultural groups we
also have a parents group for
working parents. The company
also organise bigger events like
‘Family Fun Days’, where we
have a 1-day theme park tour or
different family-friendly activities
for staff and their families. We also have a ‘Flexible Wellness’ programme
for staff whereby they have a fi [ed lump sum of money which they can
use to pay for any health or wellness activities, like gym membership, etc.CLEAR CHOICE OF THE PUBLIC: THE PUBLIC TRUSTS US
To become the clear choice of the public, we invest in the communities
where we live and work. We have a fi rm-wide CSR strategy and team.
Our staff can make meaningful contributions to the community via
different activities, e.g. we have built four KPM* Hope Schools for
students affected after the earthquakes in Sichuan.
We also recognise the importance of difference, respect and equality
as part of our ongoing commitment to inclusion and diversity, we actively
participate in programmes which foster inclusion and diversity like
International Women’s Day and Global Dignity Day, etc.
“We go to great lengths to hire the best talent in the world – this in
