Training & Development
To bring out the best in our people, we provide internal and external training programmes as well as sponsorships through
our Corporate & Talent Development Department and Human Resources Department. These include new staff orientation,
regular risk workshops, job-specific training and voluntary courses on topics such as public speaking and design thinking.
Leadership development programmes are also offered for all levels of management, from junior to senior management staff.
To identify staff with high potential and support their career aspirations, we have introduced a Talent Management System.
During the reporting period, a total of 76,000+ hours of training were provided to staff at NWD and NWCL.
In our Annual Management Forum, we give senior executives the opportunity to learn from subject experts and consider
future strategy and innovation, and through our Reader’s Hub initiative we promote reading and capacity-building for work
and life skills.
For our construction staff, each new employee is required to undergo mandatory 30+ hours of induction training on the
environment, health and safety, while contracted and subcontracted staff on construction sites are required to take regular
training on similar subjects and acknowledge our policies on fair labour practices.

comprehensive Group Management Trainee
and Internship Programmes that reach out to
the wider community, including disabled
groups. This year, we selected 10 Management
Trainees out of 2,000 local and overseas
applicants through an innovative recruitment
approach and also employed 100 interns.
Applicants used multimedia to showcase their
credentials and formed project teams to
identify solutions for business cases within the
Group.
We distribute our Employee Handbook describing relevant policies and procedures to all new hires and have made this guide
available through our corporate intranet. As a company committed to transparency and ethical behaviour, we also have an
Employee Code of Conduct with specific guidelines on avoiding the employment of illegal immigrants. For our construction
contractors and other suppliers, we have policies preventing child and forced labour as well as the employment of illegal
immigrants in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Safety on our construction sites is outlined in our Health and Safety Policy as
well as Corrective and Prevention Action Plan and maintained through regular site inspections.
