Caring for Our Staff
Our staff are our important asset. Apart from allocating resources to staff development and training, we take the physical and mental well-being of our colleagues at our heart. In addition to providing a safe working environment, we have actively lined up a wide range of recreational activities to help our staff relax and strengthen team spirit.
Staff Safety and Health
The activities we took part in 2017-18 are listed below:
- 31 DSD projects participated in the 24th Considerate Contractors Site Award Scheme held by the Development Bureau
- 37 projects participated in the Construction Sites Housekeeping Award Scheme 2017 organised by DSD
- Two safety talks were organised for DSD colleagues, resident site staff of consultants and representatives of contractors
Staff Training and Development
In 2017-18, we organised a total of 638 training courses for our staff, including induction courses, in-house training, duty visits, overseas conferences, as well as various seminars and workshops, etc. The average number of training hours per capita during the year was 35, an increase of 4.79% compared with the previous year and exceeding the territory-wide average of 18.1 by 93.4%1.
