Singaporeans believe their employers are open to diversity issues: study

There is still a lot of room for growth, though.

About 52% of employees in Singapore believe their organizations are responsive to feedback on diversity issues, with around a third saying they are committed to creating a diverse team, according to a survey by foundit.

Its findings showed that more than half of the respondents have diversity training programs within their companies, with 36% saying these are mandatory. Less than a quarter said they gained significant awareness from these trainings while 30% did not see any improvement.

Company feedback on diversity issues highlighted a positive trend in organisational communication and action on concerns, according to foundit.

Meanwhile, employees believe their organisations are adopting different strategies to ensure equal opportunities, including: conducting interviews in diversity-friendly spaces, inviting applications from diverse communities, providing anti-bias training and consistently committing to diversity hiring goals.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
