UOB freezes wages, slows hiring amid continued fallout from Covid-19



https://www.straitstimes.com/business/ba...m-covid-19



SINGAPORE - United Overseas Bank is freezing the wages of its staff and limiting hiring amid the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.



In response to media queries, UOB head of group human resources Dean Tong said: "As we focus on protecting the livelihoods of our people, we are keeping salaries at their current levels for now and will revise our stance as the external environment improves."



On hiring, he told The Straits Times that the bank will take a "disciplined and selective approach to any new headcount increases", with new appointments to be "approved at the most senior levels".



He stressed that UOB will continue investing in and hiring for roles essential to its strategic priorities.



Mr Tong told ST that these strategic roles include positions in areas such as technology and data analytics, as well as commercial and corporate banking.


Other banks indicated that they may similarly take further action to keep a lid on costs. 




A DBS Bank spokesman said the bank is facing significant income and credit cost headwinds as the external environment continues to be challenging.



“We have been prudent on expenses, (and this) has involved prioritising investments as well as cutting back on variable staff compensation. These measures may not be sufficient. We will calibrate any further responses in the next few months,” he told ST.



OCBC Bank’s head of HR planning Jacinta Low said: “As the financial year has not come to an end, we will review the compensation and rewards at a later date.”



UOB has a workforce of more than 26,000 employees across the group. It operates in 19 markets, including China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia. 



Said Mr Tong: "Given the transformational times we are in, we remain committed to seeing our people through to better times and will continue to invest in their reskilling and upskilling. This will ensure that our people, and the bank, will emerge stronger when these difficult days are over."



In an internal memo, the bank told senior staff that it expects the situation to worsen before improving when the Government cuts some of its support, reported Bloomberg on Tuesday (Sept 15).



Salary increases and promotions will be put on hold until further notice, Bloomberg quoted the memo as saying. It reported that the hiring restrictions will last until December 2021.



"We will review these dynamically as and when the situation improves," the memo added. It was sent on behalf of Mr Tong, head of group strategy and transformation Federico Burgoni and group chief financial officer Lee Wai Fai, said Bloomberg.



Singapore's third-largest bank posted a 40 per cent fall in second-quarter net profit to $703 million due to weaker income and a surge in provisions set aside to brace for the easing of loan moratoria, UOB chief Wee Ee Cheong told analysts and media at a briefing in August.



This was weaker than the consensus forecast of $815 million in net income estimated by four analysts in a Bloomberg poll.





Bloomberg Intelligence banking analyst Diksha Gera said in a report on Tuesday that UOB's "hiring, pay and promotion freeze" poses risks to dividend payout this year, as the lender could see more than a 30 per cent fall in profit because of continued economic headwinds in key markets.



"UOB's higher exposure to small businesses in Singapore raises its vulnerability versus peers DBS and OCBC," she wrote.



Earlier this year, local banks DBS, OCBC and UOB pledged not to cut jobs. Some of them said they would also employ more staff.



DBS  committed to hiring around 2,000 people here this year in existing and new roles, while OCBC said it would recruit 3,000 people in full-time positions, traineeships and internships.



Although it is slowing hiring, UOB told ST on Tuesday it is offering 320 traineeships in more than 10 business and support units across the bank for its operational needs and digitalisation and innovation efforts.
