About UOB

United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) is a leading bank in Asia with a global network of more than 500 branches and offices in 19 countries and territories in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. In Asia, we operate through our head office in Singapore and banking subsidiaries in China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, as well as branches and offices. Our history spans more than 80 years. Over this time, we have been guided by our values — Honorable, Enterprising, United and Committed. This means we always strive to do what is right, build for the future, work as one team and pursue long-term success. It is how we work, consistently, be it towards the company, our colleagues or our customers.

About the Department

We develop integrated products and services targeted at helping small and medium-sized enterprises across the region progress through different stages of growth. These include innovative solutions and initiatives in areas of working capital loans, operational efficiency and currency exposure. The most important role of Group Training & Development (T&D) is to ensure that country T&D effectively execute their in-country career development framework, new staff onboarding, and PIP coaching for weak performers. One key area of focus in staff development is leadership quality. Every leader (or would be leader) must go through a rigorous development programme before being certified fit for job. Such programmes include (non-exhaustive) HPL-BBW training, job rotations, mentorship partners and external accreditations. Group T&D shall regularly give feedback and share best practices across the countries. For example, the knowledge library of BBS known as “Centre of Excellence” is presented twice to the countries to provide them with good ideas while they’re all at different stages of building up their knowledge libraries. The T&D/engagement activities for our own GBB colleagues also come directly under responsibility of this role. There is a budget that must be catered for every year during the budgeting season for this purpose.
