Sands China Ltd. honoured its outstanding team members and teams on Thursday, with a ceremony for the Because We Care Team Member Awards, held at The Parisian Macao’s Parisian Theatre. The company has hosted the awards ceremony for four consecutive years to recognise outstanding team members for exemplifying Sands China’s Because We Care Culture of Service.
For the company, its close to 30,000 team members are viewed as its most valuable asset. Thursday’s awards ceremony is one of the ways the company rewards dedicated team members for exceptional levels of service to the company and its customers.
A total of 497 team members were named top nominees, after being shortlisted by a judging panel of previous award winners and top nominees.

Among the 497 top nominees, 42 are gaming team members who have joined Sands China’s various horizontal career development programmes. While building new skill sets in different work environments, they have continued to excel, earning a well-deserved recognition from guests and fellow colleagues for their exceptional standards of service.
