BANGKOK, 4 NOVEMBER 2022
Respecting and valuing people for their individual uniqueness, Frasers Property Thailand improves its leave policy to better address the needs of all employees so as to promote equality and inclusion as well as achieve increased contentment in the workplace.
Frasers Property (Thailand) Public Company Limited, or “FPT”, Thailand’s first integrated real estate platform, today unveiled the new employee leave and benefits policy providing greater and more flexible leave options, above and beyond what local laws require, to fulfill employees’ differing lifestyles and set a benchmark for more companies to embrace “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI).
Mr. Thanapol Sirithanachai, Country CEO of Frasers Property (Thailand) Public Company Limited, said: “Frasers Property Thailand has a focus on people. We want to ensure our employees are well taken care of in every way possible, as we believe that they are key to our business success. At FPT, our corporate culture values respect for individuality and diversity, which are fundamental human rights. Marking a new milestone for diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace environment, our new leave policy was improved to accommodate different needs.”
With the new leave options, FPT employees now have more choices for leave to enable them to attend to important events in their lives. Without restricting to only marriage leave, employees can also now choose to take leave for marriage registration, a commencement day of their own for their family members, and family’s housewarming. For maternity leave, the option has now been enhanced to include family leave providing greater coverage for more employees. For instance, those who need to take care of family members due to illness or medical treatment. Moreover, any employee can take leave for gender reassignment surgery instead of sterilisation leave.
Frasers Property Thailand recognises and values individual differences, be they in gender, race, culture, socioeconomic status, experience, age, ability, or religion and beliefs. The aim is to encourage everyone to feel comfortable to bring their authentic self to work in a pleasant and non-discriminatory environment. Thanks to this concept, not only will it promote a positive working atmosphere, but it is also an advocacy for human rights whereby all human beings are equally valued.
Thanapol believes that this broad improvement of the leave and benefits policy will serve as a tool to support and inspire all employees to work happily, contributing to good performance and also attracting qualified personnel in the market. This will help bolster the growth of the organisation for the future and enable Frasers Property Thailand to achieve new milestones in sustainability and innovation. Above all, this will certainly drive the development of products and services, as well as new business opportunities.
