Making UOB #Better As part of the #better campaign, since 2019, UOB Thailand has proactively engaged with colleagues to create programmes aimed at making the Bank a more attractive workplace.

Colleagues are encouraged to propose #better initiatives for their teams and functions, which are then shared with all colleagues. The most popular actions are determined through the #better battle campaign, where colleagues can vote for their favourite initiatives.
