Labor Practices Commitment

TMBThanachart is committed to upholding fundamental labor rights and fostering fair, safe, and equitable working conditions across its operations and value chain. We believe that respecting labor rights is not only a legal obligation but a critical foundation for sustainable business and social well-being.

As part of our commitment, we ensure the Bank’s labor practices reflect both international labor standards and national regulations. We also expect our contractors and business partners to uphold these same standards as part of a responsible and ethical business ecosystem.

  1. Living Wage: The Bank strives to provide compensation that meets or exceeds the legal minimum wage requirements and Thailand’s living wage. We aim to ensure that all employees receive a wage that supports a decent standard of living.
  2. Working Hours and Leave: We are committed to avoiding or reducing overtime and excessive working hours and to setting fair and transparent maximum working hours in compliance with Thail labor laws. The Bank also ensures that all workers receive paid annual leave to support their physical and mental well-being.
  3. Fair Remuneration and Equal Treatment: Equal pay for equal work for men and women is a core principle of our labor practices. The Bank promotes non-discrimination and strives to provide equal opportunities, fair pay, and career advancement for all employees, regardless of gender or background. The Bank monitors closely on gender pay gap improvement.
  4. Responsible Workforce Transition: In the case of structural changes or termination decisions, the Bank commits to providing appropriate notice periods and consulting employees in a timely and transparent manner to reduce adverse impacts.
  5. Local employment: We aim to recruit, retain, and develop talent from the communities in which we operate, ensuring that local employees have access to meaningful career opportunities. This approach supports regional economic growth, strengthens community ties, and enhances cultural understanding within our workforce.

To ensure that our commitments are translated into concrete action, ttb has implemented the following programs across our organization:

  • Ensure adequate wages at or above cost of living estimates or local benchmarks to provide financial security for all employees.
  • Monitor working hours, including overtime management, to prevent overwork and protect employee health.
  • Ensure employees are paid for overtime work, in full compliance with Thailand’s legal requirements and internal policies.
  • Regularly engage with workers’ representatives to foster two-way communication and continuous improvement in working conditions.
  • Routinely monitor the gender pay gap to ensure fair and equal remuneration for men and women, and to promote workplace equality. The gender pay gap is published annually in the sustainability report.
  • Expand social protection coverage beyond public programs, including comprehensive group health insurance to support employee well-being.
  • Ensure employees take their paid annual leave entitlements through the implementation of a mandatory annual block leave system, encouraging rest and a healthy work-life balance.
  • Provide training and reskilling opportunities to support employees in adapting to changes driven by industrial transformation or climate transition — for example, through programs on digital transformation, transition finance and climate risk management.
  • Support youth employment by offering university students on-the-job training through structured internship programs that provide real-world experience and skill development.

Ultimately, our commitment is to create a workplace where fairness, dignity, and respect are fundamental rights for everyone.

The shares will be allocated to the participating employees’ account and employees will get dividends and have normal voting rights.

The readiness of potential candidates that have been identified will be assessed against essential criteria, after which, candidates will be allowed to participate in the succession development program to enhance essential skills.

Employee Engagement

The Bank recognizes that employee engagement is a key factor in driving sustainable growth and development. To strengthen this, the Bank conducts an annual Voice of Employee (VOE) survey to assess employee engagement.

In 2024, the Bank conducted the VOE-Pulse Survey to gather employee feedback and use the insights to refine action plans that better address employee needs and concerns. The survey saw a 97% participation rate, with an average satisfaction score of 65%, exceeding the target of 64%. The survey results will be used to improve the organization’s strategies for fostering employee engagement and attracting and retaining talent. The Bank will also develop a plan to enhance employee engagement and employee satisfaction score.

Employees who are engaged have 3 characteristics:

  • Say positive things about the organization given the opportunity
  • Stay with the organization
  • Strive to go above and beyond for the success of the organization

Employees are engaged when they have a good employee experience. Here are the key drivers of employee engagement:

  • Engaging Leadership
  • Talent focus e.g., career development plan, number of employees, performance assessment
  • Agility e.g., collaboration, diversity, customer-centricity
  • The Basics e.g., physical health, mental health, stress at work
  • The Work e.g., work satisfaction, happiness to work, work that fulfills their life goals

Recognizing the significance of high-potential employees, the Bank provides a long-term incentive for employees through the Employee Joint Investment Program (EJIP), fostering a sense of ownership within the organization. The EJIP program stipulates that the Bank will provide contributions to support employees’ purchase of the company’s shares for 3 years. The shares will be allocated to the participating employees’ account and employees will get dividends and have normal voting rights.

The Bank has a succession plan in place to fill top management positions that will be vacated due to upcoming retirements in future years. To ensure a smooth transition for successors and business continuity, the Bank has identified critical positions and successor profiles. The readiness of potential candidates that have been identified will be assessed against essential criteria, after which, candidates will be allowed to participate in the succession development program to enhance essential skills.


Employee Relations

The Bank recognizes that our employees are the drivers of our business; hence, we respect labor rights of our employees. At the Bank, Welfare Committee is established to ensure fair treatment and to protect the benefits of the employees, with a biannually meeting at a minimum. The employee representatives meet with HR function every 6 months to discuss issues regarding employees’ rights, benefits, and concerns. After the discussions, HR reports the key summary to the management committee for further decisions and actions. Moreover, the Bank has four employee unions: Thai Military Workers Union, Thai Military Employees Labor Union, Thai Military Bank Labor Union, and TMB Thanachart Labor Union, accounting for 20% of total employees.

The Bank and Employees have jointly established The Registered Provident Fund of TMBThanachart Bank Public Company Limited, which is managed by The Board of Directors of The Registered Provident Fund of TMB Bank Public Company Limited comprising employers, which come from the appointment and employees which come from the election from the member. The fund is managed under the Employee’s Choice scheme in which the employee can choose to save at the rate of 2-15% of their salary while the Bank contributes 5-10% to the fund. As of 31 December 2024, the Bank has 14,529 employees, with 13,867 or 95% of total employees participating in the Provident Fund.


Employee Performance Appraisal

Additionally, the bank employs both individual and team-based performance evaluations in this appraisal process. It emphasizes ongoing feedback through multidimensional performance appraisal approach, allowing for continuous communication between employees and their line managers.

These sessions are designed to empower them with practical tools to maintain financial stability post-employment and to share their knowledge with others in their communities as debt coaches.
  • Skill Development Workshops: Participants are offered training in areas such as entrepreneurship, digital literacy, sales and communication enabling them to pursue new career paths or roles after leaving the Bank.

This holistic approach ensures that employees leave ttb not only with gratitude and respect but also with the confidence and capability to thrive in the next chapter of their lives.


Operational Risk Management and Security Awareness

With the concern on the impact to the customers and the Bank’s reputation, risk management and security awareness are one of the aspects that the Bank has seriously focused. We have then provided various risk and security related training programs i.e. Corporate Operational Risk Management, Anti Money-Laundering, Promoting Risk Awareness, Cyber Threats etc. to our people through the Bank E-Learning system which our employees in all over the country can easily get access to study at any their convenience time.


Employee Engagement

The Bank recognizes that employee engagement is a key factor in driving sustainable growth and development. To strengthen this, the Bank conducts an annual Voice of Employee (VOE) survey to assess employee engagement.

In 2024, the Bank conducted the VOE-Pulse Survey to gather employee feedback and use the insights to refine action plans that better address employee needs and concerns. The survey saw a 97% participation rate, with an average satisfaction score of 65%, exceeding the target of 64%. The survey results will be used to improve the organization’s strategies for fostering employee engagement and attracting and retaining talent. The Bank will also develop a plan to enhance employee engagement and employee satisfaction score.

Employees who are engaged have 3 characteristics:

  • Say positive things about the organization given the opportunity
  • Stay with the organization
  • Strive to go above and beyond for the success of the organization

Employees are engaged when they have a good employee experience. Here are the key drivers of employee engagement:

  • Engaging Leadership
  • Talent focus e.g., career development plan, number of employees, performance assessment
  • Agility e.g., collaboration, diversity, customer-centricity
  • The Basics e.g., physical health, mental health, stress at work
  • The Work e.g., work satisfaction, happiness to work, work that fulfills their life goals

Recognizing the significance of high-potential employees, the Bank provides a long-term incentive for employees through the Employee Joint Investment Program (EJIP), fostering a sense of ownership within the organization. The EJIP program stipulates that the Bank will provide contributions to support employees’ purchase of the company’s shares for 3 years. The shares will be allocated to the participating employees’ account and employees will get dividends and have normal voting rights.

The Bank has a succession plan in place to fill top management positions that will be vacated due to upcoming retirements in future years. To ensure a smooth transition for successors and business continuity, the Bank has identified critical positions and successor profiles. The readiness of potential candidates that have been identified will be assessed against essential criteria, after which, candidates will be allowed to participate in the succession development program to enhance essential skills.


Employee Relations

The Bank recognizes that our employees are the drivers of our business; hence, we respect labor rights of our employees. At the Bank, Welfare Committee is established to ensure fair treatment and to protect the benefits of the employees, with a biannually meeting at a minimum. The employee representatives meet with HR function every 6 months to discuss issues regarding employees’ rights, benefits, and concerns. After the discussions, HR reports the key summary to the management committee for further decisions and actions. Moreover, the Bank has four employee unions: Thai Military Workers Union, Thai Military Employees Labor Union, Thai Military Bank Labor Union, and TMB Thanachart Labor Union, accounting for 20% of total employees.

The Bank and Employees have jointly established The Registered Provident Fund of TMBThanachart Bank Public Company Limited, which is managed by The Board of Directors of The Registered Provident Fund of TMB Bank Public Company Limited comprising employers, which come from the appointment and employees which come from the election from the member. The fund is managed under the Employee’s Choice scheme in which the employee can choose to save at the rate of 2-15% of their salary while the Bank contributes 5-10% to the fund. As of 31 December 2024, the Bank has 14,529 employees, with 13,867 or 95% of total employees participating in the Provident Fund.


Employee Performance Appraisal

The bank has implemented an internal process to assess employee performance, known as the employee evaluation appraisal. The primary objectives of this appraisal system are to promote teamwork, foster ttb culture and ensure compliance with the Code of Conduct, facilitate agile conversations, and enhance employee well-being. The process for evaluating employee performance consists of the following steps: 1) Define Criteria 2) Checkpoint (Mid-Year Review) 3) Finalize Criteria 4) Evaluation. Additionally, the bank employs both individual and team-based performance evaluations in this appraisal process. It emphasizes ongoing feedback through multidimensional performance appraisal approach, allowing for continuous communication between employees and their line managers.


Health, Safety, and Well-being

The Workplace Safety and Physical Security Policy provides approach to managing occupational health, workplace environmental safety, and physical security. Workplace Safety and Physical Security Policy is approved by Risk Oversight Committee (ROC) at the board level. The Occupational Safety, Health and Environment (OSHE) Committee is chaired by the CEO. The Committee consists of employer and employee representatives, with the Safety Officer serving as a secretary of the Committee. The OSHE Committee holds monthly meeting to consult and discuss safety issues identified by employees, develop necessary safety measures, monitor performance, and assess effectiveness of actions and plans implemented e.g., evaluating progress of reducing/preventing health issues/risks against targets. The OSHE Committee will ensure the adequate implementation of the requirements indicated in this policy as well as develop plans, taking into account this policy, on health and safety to prevent and reduce accidents, dangers, sickness, or annoyance resulting from Bank’s work and non-work related activities. Other parties involve in the management and execution at the operational level include Corporate Property and Services, Business Continuity Management, Department Heads in business units and support units (e.g., HR, etc.), managers of branches and other sales offices.

The Bank has a Zero Accident and zero Lost Day Injury Rate (LDIR) target, demonstrating its commitment to health and safety. The OSHE Committee ensures the adequate implementation of all OSHE requirements indicated in the policy and in the Ministerial Regulation on the Prescribing of Standard for Administration and Management of Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment 2006.

The Bank performs annual physical security assessment to ensure the adequate implementation and compliance with this policy including reporting and tracking status of non-compliance issues resolution in GRC. Health and safety risks are analyzed and identified to mitigate the impacts. Safety action plans and targets are in place to effectively manage health and safety issues; also, internal and external safety inspections are conducted regularly. The progress and update of health and safety matters are regularly communicated to the executive management, especially during the world pandemic, Covid-19.

All job activities are analyzed for any exposures to health and safety hazards where 3 job activities are currently at high risk including call center with exposure to noise and storage room and printing with exposure to hydrocarbon and volatile organic compounds. While appropriate control measures are put in place to control risks in these areas, should employees be found to have levels of these substances that are higher than the legal standards, the employee will receive appropriate treatment. The Bank will also investigate the causes of exposure and conduct regular testing on the affected employees until their health returns to normal.
