Some of the generally accepted corporate benefits arising from employee and Board diversity include better financial performance and improved workforce participation.

2. Framework for Embracing Diversity

(a) Taking steps to attract and retain well qualified employees, senior management and Board members from a deep talent pool;
(b) Eliminating artificial, unfair and inappropriate barriers to workplace and Board participation and facilitating equal employment opportunities based on merit, performance and potential;

As part of SB’s commitment to filling positions on the basis of merit, some positions will be filled by persons previously identified through SB’s succession planning or by persons possessing specialised skills and experience.
At operational level, SB recognises the importance of having a diverse workforce. SB encourages people from all backgrounds to apply to work at SB and to apply for promotion opportunities once employed by SB.
All employees involved in recruitment and selection are trained in their responsibilities as an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and undergo formal assessment of their skills.
Recruitment agencies who may be engaged by SB from time to time are required to adhere to SB’s EEO policies and to recommend a diverse pool of candidates to SB for consideration.
