SPD Launches Video Campaign Highlighting Employment Opportunities for PwDs

A call for inclusivity is what SPD is aiming for on their latest video campaign with the theme “Look Beyond Their Disabilities, Focus on Their Abilities,” releasing a light-hearted interview between an employee and CEO.

Athirah, an SPD employee, got the chance to interview the VITAL (Ministry of Finance) Chief Executive Dennis Lui, where she asked questions that highlighted the perspective of an employer.

The video campaign aims to challenge the status quo against persons with disabilities (PwDs) by joining the work force.

“I think many employers focus on what the PwDs cannot do rather than what they can do. But in reality, all of us are unique individuals with great talents, and we can bring a lot to the table," was Mr. Lui’s answer when asked about the common misconceptions about hiring PWD staff.

Just like Athirah, who’s a great asset to her company, SPD aims to break the stigma through its video campaign.

Launched in 2022, SPD Contact Centre connects PwDs to the contact centre industry by providing training, refreshers, and enhancing the skills of each employee that they use in tending to administrative tasks given by outsourced clients of the company.
