Sands China Takes Pride in Back-to-Back Top Employer Honors

Sands China Ltd. has earned the distinguishable "Top Employer" certification for the second consecutive year, as awarded by the prestigious Top Employer Institute, a well-known authority in the assessment of human resources strategies. This accolade recognizes Sands China as a leader in human resources excellence, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where it is the first integrated resort operator to achieve such a designation.

In 2025, Sands China set a remarkable precedent by being the first organization within Macao's tourism and service industry to receive this international recognition. This year, it maintained its position among over 2,500 certified organizations worldwide, demonstrating unwavering commitment to high standards in human resource management.

Demonstrating HR Excellence

In a rigorous evaluation that spanned more than 200 assessment criteria, Sands China set itself apart by exceeding the global averages in vital areas such as leadership development, talent acquisition, workplace environment, and employee recognition programs. A notable highlight from this year’s evaluation was Sands China’s initiative to create job positions aimed at people with disabilities. This initiative was featured in a white paper by the Top Employer Institute as a best practice, firmly establishing Sands China's commitment to inclusivity and diversity within its corporate culture.

CEO Grant Chum emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating, "Receiving the Top Employer certification for two consecutive years is a strong endorsement of our talent strategy and corporate culture." He noted that the certification reaffirms the company’s commitment to a people-centric approach and is a validation of the supportive environment that Sands China strives to provide for its team members.

A Focus on Workforce Development

As the largest private employer in Macao, Sands China prides itself on its nearly 28,000 team members and focuses on three pillars for attracting, developing, and retaining talent. The organization has continued to innovate its human resources strategies, enhancing its appeal to job seekers across various sectors, including meetings and events, hospitality, entertainment, retail, and sports.

Over the years, Sands China has created over 1,400 distinct job roles, resulting in more than 90,000 employment opportunities for Macao residents. An innovative measure introduced recently is the new hotel front office position that eliminates overnight shifts, catering to local youth and improving their work-life balance.

Commitment to Employee Wellbeing

The wellbeing and health of employees remain a priority for Sands China. The company championed the introduction of up to six days of paid Child Care Leave and a Parenthood Support Shift for new parents, fostering a family-friendly workplace culture. Additionally, Sands China has adopted AI-driven health screening tools to proactively identify potential health risks, further enhancing employee welfare.

With nearly half of its workforce having served over ten years, Sands China boasts a dedicated team that reflects an enduring and trusted workplace culture. In 2025 alone, Sands China garnered 32 international and regional awards for its exceptional human resource practices, reinforcing the positive impact of its talent development initiatives.
