By the end of 2023, 13,200 team members had served Sands China for more than 10 years. That includes 6,600 of them that have served for 15 years, and over 1,500 that have served the company for 20 years.
Optimising benefits
Sands China introduced the first 24-hour team member clinic of its kind in Macao to raise awareness of occupational safety and health, and organises various parent-child activities to extend benefits beyond the workplace for team members’ families and to encourage work-life balance. In addition to paid annual leave, team members carry forward their unused sick leave to the following calendar year – another first in the local industry.
The company offers comprehensive support to postnatal mothers; during the first 30 calendar days after resuming work, they can reduce their daily working hours by one hour and shift workers can also enjoy fixed working hours.
Nurturing talent
In 2008, Sands China opened the Adelson Advanced Education at The Venetian Macao as a dedicated training venue; and through cooperating with local and international universities and government entities, the company created the Sands China Academy as a platform to help foster professional talent in the Macao community. In 2023, each team member received an average of 88.3 training hours, higher than the 40.6-hour standard set by the Association for Talent Development (ATD).
