29 SIA annual report 00/01
The commitment to staff
training was recognised
when SIA was awarded
the Singapore Productivity and Standards Board's
National Training Award for a record third time.
SIA's heavy investment in staff
development generated 2.5 training
places for every employee during the
year, translating to 17.2 training days
per employee.
This commitment to staff training was
recognised when SIA was awarded the
Singapore Productivity and Standards
Board's (SPSB) National Training Award
for a record third time. SPSB presented
SIA with a special 'The Three Time Winner'
award and praised it for ''exemplary
dedication to proactively developing
human capital to achieve world class
business excellence and breakthrough
improvements''.
SIA was also among 12 organisations in
Singapore recognised by the Singapore
Sports Council for its commitment to
promoting employee health and fitness.
The Sports ACE (Sports Award for
Corporate and Employees) was presented
to SIA for the second year in a row.
OUR PEOPLE
The SIA Group's staff strength at
31 March 2001 was 29,114, of which
14,744 were employed by the Airline and
the remainder by its subsidiaries. This
represents an increase of 5.6 per cent
over the previous year.
Due to the current worldwide shortage
of pilots, we have to actively recruit
to fill vacant captain positions. As at
31 March 2001, SIA employed 1,645
technical crew, an increase of 7.4 per
cent on the previous year.
SIA recruited cabin crew from Singapore
and traditional alternative sources,
including Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. The number
of cabin crew stands at 6,771, an 11.7
per cent increase on the previous year.
