Singapore

ADOPTING an inclusive hiring model can influence employees to be more compassionate, proactive and inclusive, which can translate into higher financial performance for companies, said Elijah Wee, a management professor from the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington, in a keynote speech on Wednesday.

The speech addressed key preliminary findings from a research project by Prof Wee and Pan Pacific Hotels Group (PPHG) that investigated the ripple effects of an inclusive hiring policy on current employees.
