What measures are you taking at Bank of Singapore to keep your employees safe along with keeping the business continuity plan intact? What are your top challenges?
The health and wellbeing of our employees are of paramount importance to us.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in February, we have put in place preventative measures at all our offices globally while ensuring business continuity across our network. Face masks were distributed to all employees, and hand sanitizers were placed in offices. Cleaning regimes in common areas such as the branch lobbies, lifts, corridors, and toilets were also stepped up. Staggered work hours and safe-distancing within the office premises were implemented as well. Similarly, spilled organizational operations and work from home arrangements have been implemented for the majority of employees. Employees whom we deem to be vulnerable - those who are pregnant or have pre-existing health conditions – are amongst this group.
