HONG KONG, Dec 17, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Demonstrating organizational agility, leadership transformation and a high level of employee engagement, DBS and Hilti have been named as 2021 Best Employers in Hong Kong, according to Kincentric's premium assessment that identifies organisations who demonstrate outstanding people practices and workplace excellence. Employee Engagement, Organisational Agility, Engaging Leadership and Talent Focus were the key attributes assessed. Kincentric identifies Best Employers that are in the Top Quartile and research shows that excelling across these four areas leads to better business results. According to Kincentric's insights, the Hong Kong's Best Employers are 24%* stronger on Employee Engagement, 26%* better on Organisational Agility, 19%* committed on Engaging Leadership and 27%* focussed on Talent. This clearly demonstrates a high level of decisive and agile people centric business decisions that these organisations have had to take through the pandemic. Stephen Hickey, Regional Leader for APAC at Kincentric said, "We are in the midst of a talent evolution that's shaping the future of work. Kincentric's Hong Kong Best Employers have demonstrated excellence in the workplace, by creating differentiated employee experiences and agile, inclusive cultures leading to stronger, more sustainable business results."According to Kincentric employee research data, only 5 in 10 employees feel their organization is attracting or retaining the people they need to achieve business goals; 11 percentage point declines in favourable perceptions of senior leaders demonstrating care and concern for employees; and only 55% of employees seeing strong career development opportunities for high performers.Globally there is increased talent mobility, greater difficulty for organisations to attract and retain the talent they need, challenges in giving people the work / life balance they desire, and many leaders struggling to paint a clear vision for the future of their company that is inspiring, engaging and motivating. Given the present challenges around talent retention, employees who do not see good career opportunities and organization's response to their well-being are four times more likely to leave.The Kincentric Best Employers 2021 marks 21 years of the Best Employers program. The brand has evolved since starting as Hewitt Best Employers, becoming Aon Hewitt Best Employers to Aon Best Employers and since 2019 to Kincentric Best Employers.* Indicates % higher than their peersAbout KincentricKincentric, a Spencer Stuart company, helps organisations unlock the power of people and teams to ignite change and drive better business results.

Woman who spat at KFC employee in Nex outlet given 9 months’ probation

SINGAPORE - A woman caught on video spitting at a KFC employee last year was sentenced to nine months' probation on Monday (May 24). Lin Si Ting, 43, pleaded guilty in January to one count each of harassment and using criminal force on the staff. A third charge for breaching Covid-19 regulations was taken into consideration for sentencing. At about 12.40pm on April 22 last year, Lin went to the KFC outlet at Nex shopping centre in Serangoon and placed her order at the counter. Six minutes later, she approached the counter again and shouted at a service manager, asking her why it was taking a long time to fulfil the order and demanding that the food be served to her immediately. The employee, 40, apologised and explained to Lin that there were orders ahead of hers. She told Lin to wait for about five more minutes. Lin became unhappy, and demanded a refund if she was not served her food right away. When the employee agreed to give a refund and asked for the receipt, Lin threw it at her. While the refund was being processed, Lin pulled down her mask and spewed a string of vulgarities at the employee. Lin also pointed at her and said: "Wait for you to die, wait for your whole family to die." She then spat at the victim twice, with the spittle landing on the woman's arm. Lin then took her cash and walked off. But she returned a few minutes later and claimed that she had been refunded less than what she had paid. In a viral video, the woman can be seen with a lowered face mask and heard spitting at the masked employee across the counter before storming away.

She left before the police arrived.
