What does “Greater Talents” mean to you?
“Everyone has the opportunity to grow and develop in the company.”

#Engage, #Nurture, #Empower – the golden triangle
“To make our staff feel enabled and empowered to make decision and changes, it is imperative that they feel engaged, are equipped with the right skills, and are placed in the right working culture. “
First, it is to ensure that they are well-equipped with the skills of the future through developing their capability and digital knowledge. To go beyond this is how we can nurture a sense of appreciation and belonging, as well as a culture of innovation, collaboration and agility – to enable all our staff to excel and reach their full potential at work.
With empowerment, we often want to ask the question of “How can we create an environment where we can empower every single level of staff to make a difference and to make change happen?”
Engage is the most fundamental element of all, we must get our staff engaged in order to get the best out of them. Linking back to the overall Greater Talents vision – how we can make sure everyone is aligned on what we want to achieve and engaged on achieving them?
There is most definitely an intricate link between the 3: in order to make our staff feel enabled and empowered to make decision and changes, it is imperative that they feel engaged, are equipped with the right skills, and are placed in the right working culture.
