Additionally, it reflects the bank's commitment to fostering a more inclusive and supportive work environment, in line with its talent proposition to attract and retain diverse talent regardless of individual characteristics. The bank's efforts to create an inclusive workplace include awareness and sensitisation sessions, diversity hiring practices, and a dedicated employee resource group for persons with disabilities (PWD). These initiatives are designed to cultivate a culture where all employees feel valued and supported, positioning Standard Chartered Bank as an employer of choice for differently-abled individuals. In addition to this latest initiative, the bank has also introduced medical coverage for menopause-related care and a 20-week paternity and adoption leave policy to accommodate diverse employee needs.
