Sands China Holds Golden Age Navigation Ceremony for Team Members
Celebrates and recognises team members beginning their next stage in life
(Macao, August 9, 2021) – Sands China Ltd.
honoured a group of more than 180 long-serving elderly
team members in the company's popular Golden Age
Programme at a July 28 Golden Age Navigation Ceremony at
The Venetian®
Macao.
Introduced
last year, the voluntary programme shows appreciation to
elderly team members who are ready to begin a new
chapter of their lives, providing them with a wide range
of post-career
benefits.
Team members
have shown enthusiasm for joining the benefits scheme. A
total of 540 Sands China team members have signed up to
date, representing 60 per cent of all those eligible for
the programme.
"Our elderly
team members have made tremendous contributions to the
company's development, and some of them have served
Sands China for as long as 10 or even 15 years during
the prime of their lives," said Dr. Wilfred Wong,
president of Sands China Ltd. "With the Golden Age
Programme, we hope to reward their devoted service as
they move on with enthusiasm to the next phase of their
lives. We are happy to know that they will continue to
be members of the Sands China family, and I wish them a
new set of successes in this fresh chapter of their
journey."
Representing
the company's latest innovation in human resource
management, the Golden Age Programme is an award-winning
programme that offers an attractive combination of
short-term, long-term and lifetime benefits to help team
members navigate their post-career transitions. The
programme's honours include recognition by the 2020
Greater China Employer Branding Creativity Awards – Best
Innovative Employee C&B Program, and the "Gold Award of
Human Resource Management Outstanding Business Value
Creation Enterprise" at the 2020 National Human Resource
Management (Service) Innovation
Competition.
The latest
group of programme participants will undergo a
three-month transition period, during which they will
enjoy a lighter roster with their working hours reduced
by half, and a fixed work schedule. After completing the
transition period, team members receive a one-time
special Golden Age Fund cash reward and are entitled to
100 per cent of their company Provident Fund. They then
begin receiving a Golden Age allowance in 18 monthly
instalments and get complimentary annual health
check-ups for four
years.
They also
automatically become lifetime members of the Sands
Golden Age Club, which gives them a variety of lifelong
discounts and benefits on par with those of Sands China
team members. These include discounts at company-owned
food and beverage outlets, shops, ferries and hotels, as
well as for events like concerts. They have free access
to activities like leisure classes and health talks, and
also benefit from Sands Cares Ambassador community
outreach events, such as by receiving invitations to
enjoy accompaniment to various company-sponsored
events.
Programme
participant Pou Cheng Chio said: "Having joined the
Golden Age programme, I am now able to look after my
grandchildren and enjoy more quality time with my
family. I am happy that I could catch up with previous
workmates during the event, and that my department heads
expressed their appreciation and care to us. I'm very
moved to be able to continue to be part of the Sands
China family."
The July 28
Golden Age Navigation Ceremony marked the completion of
the group's transition period, and included lucky draws
and a personalised souvenir – a framed photo of each
team member, taken at individual photo shoots where they
had their photographs taken professionally at their
choice of attractions at Sands China properties. They
also received a specially designed company souvenir
vest.
