Grab executives to take 20% pay cut

Voluntary employee donations will fund its partner relief initiatives.

The senior leaders of ride-hailing giant Grab will cut its salaries by up to 20% to help businesses and partners amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release.

Voluntary employee donations will also fund Grab’s partner relief initiatives and will be matched dollar-by-dollar by the company.

The firm will also self-fund and partner with third parties for GrabFood’s marketing programmes for select merchants to help them generate more sales.

Grab has expanded its COVID-19 financial assistance scheme to Malaysia, Myanmar and the Philippines, which will pay out a sum to driver or delivery partners who are hospitalised or quarantined due to a virus diagnosis. Its daily essentials delivery service GrabMart and on-demand concierge service GrabAssistant will be expanded to other markets as well.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
