Integrated resort operator Sands China was recently recognised with the “Great Place to Work Certification”, being the first integrated tourism and leisure enterprise in China to garner the recognition.
The announcement was made in a statement on Wednesday, where it was noted that Macau’s largest private employer made the achievement upon its first participation in the assessment conducted by the US-based Great Place To Work enterprise, which serves over 22,000 organisations worldwide.
Great Place to Work® is a global corporate culture consulting, research, and employee survey company, according to its website.
The statement said that the certification is mainly evaluated through the anonymous Trust Index Survey data submitted by staff of participating organisations, assessing the five key dimensions of “Credibility”, “Respect”, “Fairness”, “Pride”, and “Camaraderie”, along with “a comprehensive review of the company’s workplace culture and management practices”.
The statement added that in the survey among Sands China staff, 96 percent agreed that the company is a great place to work, with an average score of 92 percent across all five categories, demonstrating “the effectiveness of the company’s long-term investment in promoting career development, safeguarding team members’ physical and mental well-being, fostering a fair, caring, and supportive workplace culture, and building a high-trust management team”.
Sands China Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Grant Chum Kwan Lock was quoted by the statement as saying that the award “reflects the immense trust that our 28,000 team members have placed in the company and their strong belief in the people-centric corporate culture we have cultivated together over the years”.
He added: “This recognition reinforces our strong confidence in Sands China’s long-term development and our belief that through our collective efforts, the company will continue to advance and scale new heights”.
Meanwhile, the statement pointed out that the company had also previously garnered the “Top Employer” recognition by the Top Employers Institute for two consecutive years.
