We value our employees and work to improve their health and wellbeing through a wide variety of events and activities both in and out of the office. These events not only contribute to employee health and wellbeing, but also help build rapport between employees and increase the level of employee engagement.
Every office in each of our portfolios recognises the importance of ensuring the wellbeing of their employees. As such, our offices have created tailored programmes and campaigns which support mental and physical health in different and locally-relevant ways.
We provide information to employees via the Company’s intranet, covering a range of topics relating to healthy work practices and office safety. We also conduct, on request, work station assessments of our employees’ workstation ergonomics, screen illumination and visual comfort.
In addition, we provide counselling services and learning opportunities through our Employee Assistance Programme, which offers in-person counselling and 24-hour telephone support from relevant professionals. We also host regular events for our employees, such as luncheons and training sessions, to promote physical, mental and emotional wellness and work-life balance.
Throughout 2019, we continued our efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of all our employees. The theme of our Employee Wellness Programme this year was “Embrace, Engage, Enjoy”.
In July 2019, the staff lounge at our HKRI Taikoo Hui office was upgraded in response to employee feedback that there was a lack of natural light. The upgrade transformed the staff lounge into a bright and uncluttered space with a more vibrant colour scheme. Now serving as a multi-functional space, the staff lounge has reading, leisure and dining areas and added facilities such as ping pong tables, boxing equipment and a foosball table to engage and entertain employees.
