Staff care
Besides physical safety, we are equally committed to ensuring the psychological wellness of our staff.
#HubberHangout: Townhalls with management, to provide open and transparent updates, and answer questions about business and people matters.
#HubbaFlex: Flexible benefit scheme extended to support work from home (WFH). Staff may make use of #HubbaFlex to purchase WFH equipment.
Keep Calm and Be ThoughtFull: Partnered ThoughtFull to launch a company-wide mental wellness programme to provide on-demand mental wellness resources, webinars, and the ThoughtFull Chat app where staff can reach out to a counsellor for one-on-one support.
#NoMeetingThuPMs: Introduced to help staff manage online fatigue caused by virtual meetings.
Staff training and development
Building our employees’ skills and capabilities is essential for employee retention and helps them stay up-to-date on the latest industry developments. We continue to invest in upskilling in the areas of 5G, network virtualisation, cybersecurity and data analytics to build critical skills as StarHub advances its DARE+ strategy. For some divisions, we practise portfolio rotation to enable our staff to develop new skills, build new network connections and to diversify our workforce.
In addition, we launched a quarterly Learning Week to encourage employees to #LearnEveryDay and to build a culture of continuous learning within StarHub. We continue to offer all employees open access to digital learning platforms (such as LinkedIn Learning), classroom training, leadership development workshops, professional certifications and on-the-job training
Staff volunteer work
As a strong advocate of employee engagement and volunteerism, StarHub supports employees in their charitable endeavours, entitling them to two days of paid volunteer leave a year. Various social outreach activities, green learning journeys are organised throughout the year to engage and raise awareness on social and environmental issues among employees.
