Annual Report 2019

(I) Employment, Remuneration and Benefits We reward our employees with competitive remuneration packages, which include competitive compensation and benefits, such as medical and life insurance, dental benefit, marriage, maternity and paternity leaves, free meal, free sports and recreational facilities. The Group reviews its Remuneration and Benefits Programs on a regular basis to ensure the programs are in compliance with the latest laws, in line with market practice and keeps up with market conditions and levels of remuneration. We have established strict compliance controls over the requirements under the labour law including prevention of use of child and forced labour and extended such expectations to our supply chain. As such, we check the identity of every applicant in the recruitment process, perform job reference checking, and staff remuneration and benefits are clearly delineated to the applicant before signing the employment contract. A set of policies and procedures of human resource matters has been well developed without ambiguity. Internal audit regularly reviews the established controls for further improvement, and rectification action will be taken immediately if any deficiency is identified. The Group is honored to be the recipient of the “10 Years Plus Caring Company” award from The Hong Kong Council of Social Service and “Certificate of the Good Employer Charter” from Labour Department. (II) Anti-discrimination, Equal Opportunity and Diversity The Group is staffed by a diverse group of employees, who provide us with a valuable mix of perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge for addressing contemporary business issues. Our approach to the selection of candidates is consistent with the Board Diversity Policy which takes into account a range of diversity perspectives. These include but are not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service. The Group ensures equal opportunity and non-discrimination in recruitment, promotion and all other aspects of our employment practices. In protecting our employees from unfair or discriminative treatment, sexual harassment or any other sort of abuse, we have established policies and procedures and whistleblowing channels for employees to direct any grievances, which will be appropriately handled in a timely manner.
