EOC receives “Friendly Employment Award” from the Government

The EOC’s commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace and developing talents has once again earned recognition. On 5 March, EOC Chairperson Professor Alfred CHAN Cheung-ming, joined by colleagues of the Commission, received the Friendly Employment Award under the Talent-Wise Employment Charter and Inclusive Organisations Recognition Scheme (2017-18) from the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Dr LAW Chi-kwong.

The award gives due recognition to inclusive organisations which employ persons with disabilities (PWDs), utilise the work ability of employees with disabilities effectively, or encourage their business partners to employ PWDs. The EOC has been actively promoting the benefits of hiring PWDs to local enterprises and the support available from the Government and other organisations, besides being an employer of PWDs.
