Corporate bits | Sands China launches anti-discrimination training

Sands China Ltd. has launched a training campaign dedicated to helping team members recognize and prevent discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

Established in July, the policy states that the company does not tolerate any type of harassment or discrimination, and in cases where accusations of harassment or discrimination are made by or against team members, appropriate action will be taken.

The gaming operator has team members representing more than 55 nationalities, the company said in a statement.

The company-wide training program which launches this month, aims to train all of the company’s 28,000 team members by the end of the year. The large-scale effort requires 250 departmental trainers to be dedicated to delivering training sessions. 

Sands China Ltd. President Dr. Wilfred Wong said, “We will have zero tolerance for violation of this policy, and we want to make sure that all staff are aware of their rights and are encouraged to take the necessary action when they see injustice.”
