SOCIAL Our training and development programmes are underscored and guided by our newly-launched corporate values – Driven, Adaptable, Responsible and Ethical, or DARE. These four values describe the fundamental attributes that we strive to develop across each and every member of our workforce. By building an entrepreneurial and agile mindset across our teams, rooted in a deeply-held responsibility to our customers, partners and communities, we can stand in a stronger position to compete and thrive as a global organisation. Building a Sustainable Pipeline of Talent To ensure our competitiveness in today’s fastevolving operating environment, it is vital that we maintain a strong pipeline of talent at all levels – from graduates to potential future leaders. To this end, our Group Human Resources Department regularly collaborates with local colleges and universities to increase visibility of DNeX amongst undergraduates while participating in various career fairs to build our reputation as an employer of choice across job seekers of all ages. We also maintain an active internship programme that provides undergraduates with a taste of our vibrant industries and culture of innovation. Meanwhile, employees with demonstrated leadership potential are provided with additional training programmes geared towards cultivating the specific leadership skills and competencies required for their future potential roles. They are also connected to experienced mentors within the Group, providing them with vital guidance and support as they take the leap to positions of greater responsibility. Upholding Human Rights and Fair Employment Practices As our business presence expands, we have developed a suite of policies that uphold fairness in our employment practices and underline our stringent stance against all violations of our employees’ human rights. During FY2023, we launched our Anti-Discrimination Policy, Anti-Bullying/ Anti-Harassment Policy and Prohibition on Human Trafficking, Forced Labour and Child Labour Policy. These policies strengthen our existing framework, which is pillared on adherence to the Employment Act 1955, Industrial Relation Act 1967, Children and Young Person Employment Act 1966 and the Code of Conduct of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). While our employees do not have a registered trade union at present, we firmly respect and uphold their right to engage in collective bargaining activities in line with the principle of freedom of association.
