DSD is committed to providing a variety of training for its staff, enhancing their capabilities and knowledge while fostering their career and personal development. At the same time, we also place great emphasis on providing a safe and joyful working environment, alongside a variety of recreational activities to allow our colleagues to get to know each other, and cultivate a sense of belonging across DSD.
Staff Training and Development
Professional expertise and knowledge held by our staff are vital to our departmental operations and development. We held a total of 654 training activities in 2015-16, improving staff competence through induction courses, internal training, duty visits, overseas conferences, etc. During the year, the average number of training hours of our staff was 33 hours, significantly higher than the city-wide average according to the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management 1.
