This topic is actually already embedded into our every day’s life. We work, interact, and collaborate with a diverse group of people at work. A DE&I activity was organized by the collaboration between Human Capital’s two teams of Relationship & Contribution Management (RCM) and Talent Acquisition & Onboarding (TAOB). The event reflected diversity among different groups of people in ThaiBev. Concepts of DE&I: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion were emphasized and educated at the event to participants.
There was an activity for participants to write comments regarding DE&I in a post-it paper, and pasted it on the “Heart of Equity” (หัวใจแห่งความเท่าเทียม). There was also a photo shooting activity where participants were required shoot a photo at the provided rainbow space, and post their photos with a specific DE&I hashtag to win many special gifts. The events received great attentions from employees and executives who were eager to learn about the topic.
Work-from-home Arrangements
ThaiBev values a flexible workplace and believes this option increases productivity, morale, agility, and cross-business collaboration. ThaiBev has also arranged effective work-from-home support for disabled employees who face difficulties travelling to work.
Family Policies
Provide space or playgrounds at factories for children while waiting for their parents, and also private breastfeeding rooms are available at all offices and production plants.
Female employees can take up to 100 days of paid maternity leave, which is 10 days more than the legal requirement in Thailand. In some cases, additional 30 days may also be given if needed.
Male employees are also allowed to take paid paternity leave of up to six days.
ThaiBev allows employees to take leaves beyond parental leave, as stated in employee rule book, for the purpose of taking care of a child, spouse, or parent in case health conditions or death.
Part-Time working options
ThaiBev also has a Part-Time working option for employees. Within this employment option, employees are subjected to work with their supervisors and management regarding their working schedules and conditions. In everyday, all employees can access the Time Management System via Beverest application in their mobile devices, to apply for the approval from their supervisors. This option can be seen in employees who work in retail businesses, such as QSA (i.e., KFC), and Oishi restaurants. Additionally, employees may request to adopt a part-time working option, such as 75% and 50%, through mutual agreement.
Beverest Life
In 2020, ThaiBev implemented a no-contact procedure for all employees to check in to their work through an internal mobile application, which will be used going forward as part of standard safety measures to increase efficiency, decrease contact, and reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
