Annual Convention 2022 The Annual Convention 2022 was based on the theme of Innovation, Sustainability and People Excellence. The event drew 1,200 ST Engineering employees in person and 800 employees dialling in from our business units around the world. The convention provided employees with the opportunity to be updated on the Group’s strategic direction to capture sustainable growth, as well as engage in conversations with business leaders on topics such as talent retention and continuous learning. We Build a Passionate and Engaged Workforce Listening to our employees is a critical part of our people engagement strategy. These efforts are facilitated through regular town halls, including our Annual Convention, and employee-focused group sessions with our Group P&CEO and respective business leaders. The staff communication channels provide a platform for updates and dialogue on strategy, market developments and business, as well as people and policy matters. It also builds employee confidence in our leadership actions and the direction of the Group as we address market challenges and opportunities. We periodically conduct employee engagement surveys to present employees an additional platform to provide feedback. In 2022, our employees took part in the Employee Engagement Survey supported by an external market leader in employee engagement, to provide feedback on their experience at work and to help the organisation identify key action areas to build an engaged and high-performance culture. The survey covered a wide range of topics on our employees’ sentiments on issues such as wellbeing, inclusion and belonging across a five-point scale. We Leverage Diversity and Inclusion Our diverse workforce inculcates a dynamic culture that provides opportunities for the exchange of ideas, innovation and personal growth. This can be achieved and sustained in an environment that fosters mutual respect, and values a good mix of capabilities, perspectives and ideas. We facilitate this by working on four key areas: • Gender – we focus on women empowerment and gender equality through initiatives such as Women@ST Engineering, and unconscious bias training programmes • Generation – we focus on fostering an environment where members of a multi-generational workforce can collaborate and learn from one another, and provide mutual support in a fast-evolving world • Geography – we focus on encouraging the exchange of ideas and perspectives across diverse work cultures that leads to creative and innovative solutions • Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) – we focus on promoting an environment where PwDs have equal access to opportunities for growth and development Women@ST Engineering Women@ST Engineering supports our diversity and inclusion efforts through the engagement of both our female and male colleagues in the areas of addressing unconscious bias in the workplace and facilitating inclusive professional development. We also complement our employees’ management of their roles in their personal lives in areas such as family caregiving, health and wellness. In 2022, we had the pleasure of inviting Ms Sim Ann, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of National Development to join us at our Leadership Forum as one of the panel members and speakers. The event provided an opportunity for our employees to hear from high achieving professional men and women on their personal journeys. The discussion also helped promote a better appreciation of the issues faced by women both at the workplace and at home.
