CONTINUING THE DIALOGUE

Yousef Al-Benyan, Vice Chairman and CEO, hosted the Annual Global CEO Dialogue Town Hall at Global Headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with interactive live streaming globally. We will continue to invest in events that support open dialogue.

2019 EMPLOYEE SURVEY

SABIC surveyed employees globally this year. More than 19,000 participants shared over 22,000 comments, and the outcomes were shared openly with all employees.

TALK5

Through our global employee survey, we learned that employees want deeper engagement in the Talent Review Process (TRP). We responded with Talk5 – named after the goal of five conversations at least five times a year – to promote listening and sharing ideas.

#ACCELERATE

#Accelerate gives employees the opportunity to develop by joining projects outside of their functions. Employees develop new skills, build experience, share knowledge, and connect.

Through programs like #Accelerate, we will continue to thrive in a constantly evolving marketplace.

SABIC LEADERSHIP WAY

The SABIC Leadership Way (SLW) sets standards for leadership and aligns with our mission to create ‘Chemistry that Matters™’.

SLW focuses on leadership skills and behaviors. It fosters a sustainable corporate culture, making us a global employer of choice. Most importantly, leaders are expected to have integrity, take responsibility, and develop leaders. We call this to “Be the Impact!”

This year, SLW sessions had 5,000 leaders at 50 global sites. They included performance management, leadership development, and assessment.

STRATEGIC WORKFORCE PLANNING

Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) aims to have the right people in the right jobs – at the right time and cost – for a productive organization.

This year, we used SWP to analyze growth, automation, and artificial intelligence, helping us to retain employees, identify talent, develop competency and gap-assessments, and plan for the business cycle.

ONE HR PLATFORM

We are creating a “One HR Platform” to streamline processes. The platform manages everything from recruiting and onboarding, to learning and career development, to retirement. The new system will launch in 2020.

EMPLOYER AWARDS

The Top Employers Institute recognized SABIC as one of the world’s best employers again this year. We attained the Asia Pacific 2020 certification for the seventh year in a row, and certifications in five of our key Asian markets.

Together with its research partner Statista, the Financial Times surveyed the diversity and inclusion performance of 10,000 companies in 10 European countries. SABIC ranked 60th, which speaks to our commitment to create a truly inclusive, diverse workplace and culture.

THE SABIC ACADEMY

The SABIC Academy has served as our core learning platform since 2012, hosting more than 6,000 courses. This year, the academy featured a Sustainability Ambassador Program to train employees from our Petrochemicals business. Each market-facing employee became a “sustainability ambassador.”
