Corporate Bits | 6,200 Sands staff members celebrate 10-year milestone

Around 6,200 Sands China team members are commemorating their 10-year service anniversaries with the company at more than 60 departmental celebrations that began in March and will continue throughout April.

Sands China, which has been based in Macau for over 13 years, has more than 8,500 Macau employees who have been with the company for 10 years or more. This latest group of 6,200 reached their 10-year milestone in 2016, 2017 or 2018. More than 75 percent of them are Macau locals, according to a press release issued by the gaming operator.

“Sands China is incredibly grateful for the loyalty, dedication and hard work of our team members celebrating their 10-year anniversaries with the company,” said Wilfred Wong, president of Sands China Ltd.

“Their commitment to outstanding service – both toward fellow team members and to our guests and visitors – continues to reap benefits for the company and supports Macau’s development as a world center of tourism and leisure.”

At the celebrations, decorated with a 10-year service theme, team members received “The Perfect 10” commemorative service pins and award trophies, and MOP500 food and beverage vouchers (worth more than MOP3 million in total) to be used in Sands China’s restaurants.

According to figures provided by Sands China, the company has made nearly 18,000 promotions to date, involving over 10,000 local team members. More than 3,300 local team members have been promoted more than once.

Sands China’s management team currently employs more than 2,500 locals, over two-thirds of whom have been working with the company for more than 10 years.
