SOCIAL → People Excellence Other initiatives rolled out throughout the year included a series of webinars, workshops and virtual sharing sessions. Guest speakers and senior business leaders were invited to these sharing sessions to speak on health and wellness, and exchange knowledge on career planning, networking, influencing and leadership. In these extraordinary times, we acknowledge that it is critical that we build and strengthen our employees’ mental resilience to enable everyone to cope and get through the crisis. To promote this, we organised several activities such as a virtual talk on mental wellness and SkillsFuture advice through our ST Engineering Staff Union. ST Engineering constantly seeks to innovate and enhance our policies to create a more rewarding career for our employees. We have won people excellence awards in and outside Singapore, including the recognition of ST Engineering as one of the Top Five most attractive employers in Singapore by Engineering and Natural Science students. As a Group, we continue to invest in technology and innovation, optimising processes and operations to create a better overall working environment and experience. Being at the Forefront of People Practices Women@ST Engineering supports our diversity and inclusion efforts as we engage our female employees within the organisation. Aligning to our global agenda of advancing women in STEM, we rolled out upskilling and reskilling programmes to attract, retain and develop female talent in various disciplines. Our senior executive co-sponsor for the Women@ST Engineering Committee, Tan Lee Chew and two of our business leaders, Chiang Yoke Fun and Dr Vrizlynn Thing were honoured in the 2021 Singapore 100 Women in Tech list, which features female role models for the multifaceted roles they play in influencing Singapore’s business, workplace and community in the tech industry. Organised by the Women@ST Engineering Committee and inaugurated by the President of the Republic of Singapore, Halimah Yacob, the Women Support Group is a key women's empowerment initiative launched in 2021. It is aimed at promoting social, emotional and mental resilience among female employees, and serves as a platform to engage and connect. By sharing success stories with young women, we can prove how careers in STEM can be amazingly rewarding for anyone with curiosity and passion. Dr. Vrizlynn Thing Senior Vice President, Head of Cybersecurity Strategic Technology Centre I have a mantra for myself, ‘never stop learning’. Seize opportunities to grow, learn and keep up with changing technology trends in our fast-paced world. Keep an open mind, be genuine and don’t be intimidated when taking up new opportunities. It’s ok to make a mistake as long as you learn from it and grow. Keep trying. Chiang Yoke Fun Senior Vice President, Head of Singapore Digital Business I am excited that technology is increasingly multidisciplinary and is a key enabler to building stronger economies. We celebrate all women who are inspiring their communities and making significant contributions to the tech industry. As a leader, I believe in steering this agenda and creating opportunities for women in tech to confidently step forward and drive business success.
