Employee Favourable Environment
We are committed to creating a favourable and engaging workplace for our community of over 3,000 University employees. By fostering a caring and harmonious environment, we introduce initiatives that help build a campus where everyone can work, thrive, and shine.
Our values are rooted in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion. We provide equal employment opportunities and actively engage our diverse workforce, recognising that everyone’s unique perspectives contribute to an outstanding work environment. We strive to ensure fair treatment and equal access to opportunities and resources for all.
To further enhance employees’ work experience, we offer a variety of engagement activities and programmes designed to bring enthusiasm and energy to everyday work life.
Creating a Favourable Workplace
We recognise that welcoming a new baby brings both joy and new responsibilities. To support working parents, eligible employees could enjoy maternity or paternity leave and related medical benefits in line with the University's policies and regulations.
As a family-friendly organisation, we help employees balance childcare and work by offering breastfeeding facilities and lactation breaks, making parenting compatible with their jobs. Our efforts have been recognised by organisations, such as UNICEF.
We are committed to equal opportunities for all University members, regardless of identity or background. Everyone has the right to be respected and treated equally, with zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment. The University actively supports equality and diversity, and prohibits discrimination and harassment across campus.
Inclusive Culture
Fostering social integration and building a caring society for all, we participated in the Talent-Wise Employment Charter and Inclusive Organisations Recognition Scheme to show our commitment to providing employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.
We highly respect privacy and take our obligations to safeguard personal data seriously. We maintain its security and follow comprehensive protection measures to ensure the legitimate use of personal data. This is done to protect individuals’ rights, ensure legal compliance, and maintain trust in our operations.
It is of paramount importance to create a workplace that is free of sexual harassment. We stand firm against any unwelcomed sexual behaviour. We put in place prevention measures to reduce the risk of sexual harassment occurring in the University community by all means.
We are dedicated to maintaining good governance, accountability and a high degree of transparency, and also always encourage staff to report any suspected malpractice, misconduct, irregularity or illegality at the University.
The University is included in the Schedule to the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (Cap. 201) as a "public body". All employees must be wary of any "advantage" offered to him/her and which could in any way be connected with the performance of his/her duties as a University staff.
Engaging Our People
Supporting Sustainability at Work
The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for global efforts toward a better and more sustainable future. Supporting this vision, the Human Resources Office has launched the "SDGs@HRO" to foster sustainable HR practices and engages the university community in exploring sustainability, social issues, and best practices relevant to Hong Kong, China, within a global context.
Promoting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment across our university. Through a variety of equity and inclusion initiatives, we actively promote mutual understanding and diversity, engaging with minority groups to cultivate a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and respected.
Prioritising Holistic Wellness
We support the holistic well-being of our staff members by ensuring a safe work environment, encouraging physical activity through employee fitness programme and free access to sports venues, and offering resources like mental health first aid course and the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to help with personal and professional challenges.
