949 Sands China Team Members Reach 15-Year and 10-Year Anniversaries
Loyalty testifies to company’s value on team member career development
(Macao, Nov. 24, 2020) – Sands China Ltd.
honoured 640 team members for reaching their 15-year
milestones with the company, and 309 for their 10-year
anniversaries, with Nov. 11 recognition ceremonies at
The Parisian Macao, entitled "Our 15 Years of
Excellence" and "Our Perfect 10, Thank You" to express
gratitude to the long-serving team members for their
continuous contributions to the development of the
company.
Sands China Ltd. President Dr. Wilfred Wong presented
each of the attending 15-year-milestone team members
with an Honourable Service Award – a 15th anniversary
souvenir box containing an anniversary certificate,
special edition pin designed by a team member, and a
commemorative plaque. The designs on the souvenirs
symbolise the heritage of the Sands spirit and represent
the close bond between team members. As a further
expression of gratitude to its veteran team members, the
company presented each of them with a gift certificate
for a special 15-year anniversary meal to be enjoyed
with a loved one at their choice of select Sands China
restaurants.
Team members marking their 10-year milestones received a
commemorative plaque from Dr. Wong, along with a gift
certificate for a special 10-year anniversary
meal.
"Sands China is proud to honour our long-serving team
members for their loyal and diligent service over the
years, and we are grateful for their continuous
dedication," said Dr. Wong. "With the company this year
encountering unprecedented challenges, their hard work
and dedication are even more commendable; they have
worked hand-in-hand with the company in both good times
and bad. With our team members’ perseverance and their
determination to overcome adversity, we are confident
that we can usher in a new spring after a long and cold
winter."
Chan Wun San, a human resources officer who has been
with Sands China for 15 years, said: "I joined this
company 15 years ago, and have grown a lot, both
personally and professionally. I am particularly
grateful that the company has given me so many
opportunities to work in different positions and fields.
I began my career in the table games department before
transferring to the human resources department through
the company’s My Way horizontal development programme. I
look forward to continued growth with this company in
the years
ahead."
The celebration included a lucky draw, and team members
enjoyed refreshments and took pictures at a photo booth
after the
event.
Sands China has always attached great importance to the
professional development of team members, and the
company’s focus on providing team members with ideal
development prospects has helped increase employee
loyalty. Including the 949 team members celebrating 10-
or 15-year anniversaries in 2020, more than 8,100 team
members have now served the company for 10 years or
more, representing more than 30 per cent of Sands
China’s employees. Among them, over 2,200 have hit the
milestone of 15 years of service. Over 1,300 of them
have been with the company since
2004.
In that time, the company has fostered significant
growth in the number of local residents in management
positions, soaring from 20 per cent in 2004 to nearly 90
percent in
2020.
