Macau concessionaire Sands China Ltd says it has launched a stress management campaign aimed at encouraging a healthy work-life balance, promoting family harmony and safeguarding the physical and mental health of its team members.
The initiative, titled “Make Stress Your Friend” and engaging more than 2,000 staff, comprises a stress index test, themed seminars and roadshows, interactive platforms, free consultations with registered traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners and physical therapists, recreational activities and more.
According to Sands China, more than 1,000 staff took the stress index test in May which showed that over 90% had medium to low stress levels on the stress index.
“As Macau’s largest private employer, Sands China believes our team members are our greatest asset,” said Sands China President, Dr Wilfred Wong.
“As such, our company has been committed over the years to organising different types of employee wellness and parent-child activities, and launching physical and mental support programmes to help team members manage work pressure and their emotional health – promoting a healthy mind and body to help team members continue to develop with the company and write another exciting chapter together.”
Sands said it has launched a variety of measures targeted at enhancing the wellbeing and work-life balance of staff in the last five years, holding more than 80 seminars and organizing over 250 related events.
In-house initiatives have included setting up a back-of-house staff reading corner and a leisure area featuring karaoke, snooker and table tennis, the company explained.
