The University’s commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) shapes how our Office integrates sustainable practices and promotes equity, inclusion and well-being across the workplace. We actively involve staff members in wellness programmes and activities that build connections and enhance their holistic well-being. We honour staff members' outstanding achievements and enduring commitment through dedicated award and recognition schemes, and celebratory events. Together, these initiatives create an agile, healthy and positive environment, support personal well-being, deepen belongings, and share success across our academic community.
In 2025, we launched the “SDGs@HRO” campaign to enhance employee awareness of the SDGs and promote more meaningful workplace relationships.
To align employee engagement initiatives with SDGs, we host a series of SDGs-focused activities throughout the year, including SDGs@HRO Day and SDGs Bazaar featuring themed booths, workshops, interactive games and exclusive souvenirs. Through SDG‑related education and activities, we provide staff members with information and best practices to contribute to sustainability at work and in everyday life, while understanding social issues of Hong Kong, China in the context of these global objectives.
Since 2000, we have recognised the exceptional achievements of our academic/teaching staff through the President’s Award for Outstanding Performance Scheme. Building on our commitment to excellence, we introduced the university-wide Reward and Recognition Scheme for Non-teaching Staff in 2014. This initiative honours non-teaching staff who have made significant contributions or delivered exceptional service beyond the scope of their regular duties. In addition, we celebrate the valuable contributions of our long-serving and retiring staff members, presenting awards during the Milestone in Service Ceremony held each June.
We foster a culture of compliance within the University by requiring all staff members to complete compliance trainings that provide a thorough understanding of relevant ordinances, regulations, policies, and guidelines related to their work. By fulfilling these requirements, we aim to minimise and mitigate potential risks, ensuring a safe and responsible workplace for everyone.
We uphold fair treatment for all staff members and actively foster an inclusive and respectful culture. Our initiatives include equity and inclusion campaigns (e.g., Celebration of International Women’s Day and International Men’s Day), anti-discrimination trainings, inclusive workshops and cultural tours. These programmes connect staff members with minority groups and strengthen inclusive workplace culture.
In line with the SDGs, we are fully committed to environmental protection, sustainability, and supporting people in need within the city. We organise initiatives such as eco-tours, upcycling workshops, and food donation drives to inspire positive action among our workforce. Through these efforts, we encourage staff members to care for the environment and send love to those in need, fostering a workplace culture rooted in social responsibility and sustainable development.
We place a strong emphasis on our employees’ holistic well-being by offering a range of wellness programmes and initiatives. These are designed to help staff members achieve their physical health, manage work-related and personal challenges and promote workplace health and safety.
Employee engagement activities are organised throughout the year to provide our colleagues with meaningful opportunities to connect, collaborate, and actively engage with each other, enhancing a sense of belonging in the University. We also invite family members to take part in different initiatives. By bringing together staff members and their families, we nurture a supportive workplace that values connection and collective well-being.
The "Happy Friday Series" features diverse interest classes and festive activities such as Fai Chun Writing and Christmas Wreath workshops, providing our employees with enjoyable opportunities to connect, celebrate and unwind together.
The "Happy Summer Series" offers a diverse selection of summer activities, including outings and experiential workshops, allowing our employees and their families to learn and relax together. These activities are also aligned with several sustainable development goals.
