Dear Jobseekers,
In September 2013, Innogene Kalbiotech Pte Ltd posted a recruitment advertisement for a Finance and Accounts Officer, on our own website as well as on the jobsDB site. The advertisement included the words “Ages approximately max. 26 years”, which Innogene Kalbiotech Pte Ltd recognizes as discriminatory, per the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices.
This wording was deleted from both websites shortly after the error was brought to our attention.
We have already taken steps to educate all Innogene Kalbiotech staff and officers, as well as colleagues from our parent company who create and post such advertisements, to ensure they are fully aware of the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices, and to prevent such unintended errors in future.
Innogene Kalbiotech Pte Ltd hereby reaffirms our commitment to the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices.
We apologise sincerely for the offence this advertisement may have caused to anyone.
Krish G. Krishnan
Managing Director
Innogene Kalbiotech Pte Ltd
