UOB makes inclusive hiring push with ‘The Unlimited’ initiative

United Overseas Bank (UOB) has stated “The Unlimited” to enable more inclusive hiring practices. It partnered public, private and people sectors in Singapore for the first time to connect businesses with persons with disabilities for sustainable employment.The move comes after a recent survey by UOB, which found that two-thirds of the 220 key decision-makers at companies in Singapore would hire persons with disabilities if provided with sufficient guidance on the hiring process.The initiative aims to encourage companies, starting with UOB’s corporate clients, to take the first step and to facilitate the process of hiring for interested companies. Companies that register at the dedicated “The Unlimited” website hosted by UOB will be assisted from enquiry through to employment. UOB is collaborating with SG Enable, Autism Resource Centre, Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore and SPD for this initiative.[Digital Marketing Asia Conference 2019 in Singapore is back!
