Looking forward, we are dedicated to enhancing our entry-level talent scheme by collaborating with organizations that promote socio-economic diversity and career mobility. We continue to support employees by addressing unconscious bias through comprehensive employee and manager training, engaging internal storytelling campaigns, and the innovative implementation of unique mentoring schemes. These efforts are designed to foster an inclusive culture that not only meets but exceeds our strategic objectives.
