Seven in ten Singapore-based employers have yet to introduce a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy into their business, citing challenges such as culture, compliance, and managerial ineffectiveness, according to the findings of a new report.

The report from the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) and Kincentric surveyed 186 companies across 19 sectors on the Little Red Dot to find that, despite the lack of formal policies, almost two-thirds (62%) of Singapore employers consider DEI as a factor when hiring and promoting workers.
