One of our missions is to enhance a caring, harmonious, safe and healthy work environment that fosters staff development and a mindset for change. We fully understand that the success of our Department does not merely refer to the provision of quality services, but also maintaining a committed workforce with high sense of belonging. We therefore have provided a wide range of training opportunities to cater for the needs and career development of our staff. We have also arranged various recreational activities to care for the well-being of our staff during the year. In 2012, we were awarded with the OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System certification to manage and control our workplace safety in a systematic manner.

On average, our staff received about 28.3 hours of training in 2012-13. The figure is higher than the territory-wide average training hours per employee which was 19.1 hours according to the "2012 Training and Development Needs Survey" conducted by the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management.
