Clearly, this underscores the need for a skilled professional to handle the equal opportunities issues within organizations and businesses. Employers have also indicated their wish to recruit an "EO Officer" to handle matters related to equal opportunities in the workplace.   The EOC works with businesses and organizations to assist them in implementing good management practices and to ensure they are equipped to implement equality standards in their work environment. We also work with employers and employees to enhance their understanding of the anti-discrimination ordinances. In this regard, our EO Club provides opportunity for interested parties to enhance their capabilities and better equip themselves for the said purpose. You are welcome to join the EO Club.
