Maybank Singapore to hire 100 trainees, expand staff financial aid

It has also pledged not to cut jobs.

Maybank Singapore will recruit at least 100 fresh graduates and mid-career candidates under its new Traineeship Programme, according to an announcement.

Under the initiative, the bank plans to recruit fresh graduates and mid-career workers for a 12-month structured training programme in various functions, which will offer them an opportunity to gain work experience with the possibility of a permanent position at the end of the programme.

The bank has also implemented two new employee programmes to enhance staff’s financial safety net amidst economic uncertainty. All permanent staff earning S$4,000 or less per month will receive a one-time COVID-19 cash support of S$1,000.

In addition, employees in job grade AVP and below who need extra support can apply for Employee COVID-19 Support Scheme for a one-time cash funding of S$2,000.

The bank has also pledged not to lay off employees because of the pandemic.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
