Staff Recreational Activities

Founded by DSD staff, the Staff Club organised a range of recreational activities on a voluntary basis, giving colleagues a chance to relax and get to know one another across divisions.

Hong Kong Marathon 2016

As usual, about 60 DSD staff members and their relatives signed up for the Hong Kong Marathon 2016, joined by consultants, contractors, and other working partners to form a 320-strong team. The high-spirited runners supported one another throughout the trek in a show of real teamwork.

Dragon Boat Race

Our dragon boat team enters tournaments every year, training hard well in advance to gain every possible advantage. Rowing boosts team spirit within the Department and is an excellent opportunity to train up oneself, both physically and mentally.

Goodwill visits

Since June 2013, DSD has launched a Goodwill Visit Programme to strengthen communication and ties between senior management and frontline staff. Under this Programme, the Director, Deputy Director of Drainage Services, and other directorate officers visited frontline staff at their workplaces, with frank conversations on topics of mutual concern. In 2015-16, senior management made a total of 12 goodwill visits to communicate with frontline staff at 16 workplaces.
