The company was also a winner in the 2019 Greater China Employer Branding Creativity Awards, and was recognised with three awards: Best Creative Copywriting of Employer Brand, Best Innovative Employee C&B Program, and Best Social Recruitment Program. The annual awards are co-organised by renowned HR organisations and employer brand experts in Greater China Wings, K Talks and HRflag, and aim to honour companies with high-profile and innovative employer brands that demonstrate the power of employer branding to a wider audience. Only around 50 companies were awarded out of 405 nominees that included Tencent, Kraft Heinz and WeWork, with Sands China as the only winner from Macao.
