Wee Yee Lee joined the UOB family as UOB Innovation Hub 2’s Human Resource Director in November 2021.

She has more than 20 years of experience in the Human Resource field, working for various MNCs to build their Shared Services and Global Business Services (GBS) organisations from ground up through the recruitment of talents from various fields to meet the respective organisation’s needs. The organisations that she has played a key role in building up includes AIG Shared Services, DHL Asia Pacific Shared Services Center, NTT Global Shared Services Centre with offices in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Bucharest, Romania.

With her wide breath of experience in HR and leading a team of HR specialists, Yee Lee is in her third year in UOB Innovation Hub 2. The first two years was spent building capacity in the organisation through the hiring and onboarding of technology talents. Yee Lee is instrumental in spearheading the hub’s very first Graduate Trainee Programme which saw the hiring and onboarding of young local technology talents straight out of university and placed in a 15-month on-the-job training, working on projects with their Squad Leaders who are Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). After 15 months, these Graduates Trainees are given an opportunity to “graduate” and become UOB employees working for the Innovation Hub.

Besides building capacity, Yee Lee is focused on driving a high performance culture in the organisation through the refinement of the organisation’s learning & development programmes, strengthening employee engagement and refining HR processes as part of the People’s Agenda for the hub.
