Building Inclusive Societies

Across ASEAN, we have ongoing projects to promote social inclusion in communities and workplaces.

Promoting inclusion in the community

Promoting inclusion at the workplace

Since 2013, UOB has been hiring people with disabilities at the UOB Scan Hub, its nerve centre for checking, digitisation and archiving of customer documents.

We redesigned work processes, modified our office environment and developed structured training programmes to enable people with autism to work effectively at the UOB Scan Hub. Their attention to detail and high levels of concentration and accuracy have helped improved UOB Scan Hub’s productivity and employee retention rates.

“At UOB Scan Hub, people with autism are hired for the strengths they bring to the role, in particular, their attention to detail and high concentration levels. We believe we can shape the business landscape to be more inclusive.”

the unlimited

In 2021, we launched ‘The Unlimited’ - the first inclusive hiring collaboration among the public, private and people sectors in Singapore to promote sustainable employment for persons with disabilities.

Under the initiative, UOB acts as the private sector catalyst for inclusive hiring, engaging companies to raise their awareness of and to generate interest in the hiring of persons with disabilities.
