We believe in fostering an environment that is inclusive and promotes ownership, while offering opportunities for our people to realise their full potential. Our people benefit from a balanced Temasek experience – one that enriches our professional and personal lives, including those of our families, and makes an impact on our community. Inclusion We have a diverse and inclusive team, with some 350 staff coming from 22 different countries across the world – Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, Namibia, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand, the US and Vietnam to name a few. More than 40% of our senior management team comes from outside Singapore. About two thirds of our people are below the age of 40, and more than half have prior experience in the financial services industry. Close to half of our professional staff are female. This diversity also underscores the need for robust conversations and healthy debates to foster a one-team culture, even as this provides a rich blend of cultural orientation, industry knowledge and market experiences. Our commitment to inclusion led us to embrace family members of our staff, as we continued to foster a pro-family culture through various programmes and a suite of flexible family benefits. Facilities are open in our offices for the children of staff to come in to wait for their parents or do their homework. Last year, 19 babies were added to our extended Temasek family, with 8 fathers and 10 mothers among our staff taking paternity and maternity leave respectively. We also remain actively connected to our former colleagues through the Temasek Alumni Network, which was launched in January 2008. This gives us a formal platform to keep our links alive to a wider network of friends and partners. |  |
