Sands China Launching New Post-Maternity Benefits on Mother's Day

Benefits include decreased work hours and non-rotating shifts

(Macao, May 6, 2022) – Sands China Ltd. is launching a new set of post-maternity benefits for team members, as part of the company's commitment to an equitable workplace that safeguards the rights of women.

Effective May 8, postpartum mothers can work one less hour per shift and enjoy regular work shifts without rotation; the benefits are available during the first 30 days after resuming work post-maternity. In addition, team members will receive a special gift from the company for their newborns.

"Sands China is proud to be the first integrated resort operator in Macao to pioneer these new benefits and to launch them on Mother's Day in honour of our postpartum mothers," said Dr. Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd. "These measures will allow them to enjoy extra time with their families by arriving to work an hour later or leaving an hour earlier, giving them more time to take care of themselves and their newborns. This is part of our commitment to care for our team members, whom we value and cherish, and to support their work-life balance."

Team members are crucial to the success of Sands China. With 12,000 female team members, the company is committed to building and maintaining a respectful and equitable workplace by advocating for and ensuring women's rights. Sands China launched a policy for the prevention of sexual harassment and discrimination in July 2018, a first for Macao, together with related company-wide training for all team members. Additionally, breastfeeding rooms are available at back-of-house team members areas across Sands China's properties, and the company regularly holds a variety of parent-child activities to promote family harmony.
