OCBC launches COVID-19 vaccine support programme for employees

The bank will provide vaccine education as well as support for side effects.

OCBC has rolled out its COVID-19 vaccination support programme for its employees in Singapore, including its subsidiaries, a statement read.

The bank has engaged medical experts to educate its employees about the vaccine to provide a channel to raise questions and concerns and to make an informed decision on whether to be vaccinated or not.

Once an employee has decided to take the vaccine, the employee will be granted a day off on the day of each vaccination, private taxi reimbursement to and from the vaccination clinics, and additional two days of medical leave in case of side effects.

The employee will also be reimbursed for medical fees arising from side effects, and they will be allowed to work remotely for one week after vaccination.

Customised initiatives will also be rolled out for employees in OCBC’s other core markets once the vaccine is rolled out in these countries.

The programme is an extension of the bank’s COVID-19 Care Package launched in March 2020.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
