Staff Recreational Activities

Since its inception, our Staff Club has made major efforts to foster work-life balance and strengthen rapport through a wide range of recreational activities.

Sports Competitions

Apart from participating in the Hong Kong Marathon and dragon boat races, our Staff Club also organised various of in-house matches and interdepartmental tournaments of popular sports to give colleagues a chance to show their athletic strengths. These included football, basketball, table tennis, squash, snooker, tennis, badminton, bowling and darts.

Dragon Boat Race

The DSD dragon boat team has taken active part in many dragon boat races over the years. These competitions are excellent team spirit boosters and help maintain good health. With concerted effort, the team strive for the best results.

The Management's Goodwill Visits

Launched in June 2013, DSD's “Goodwill Visits” programme aims to reinforce communication between the management and frontline staff for closer connection. Under the programme, the Director and Deputy Director of Drainage Services as well as other directorate staff pay visits to frontline staff at work sites to openly express each other’s concerns. In 2016-17, the management made 13 goodwill visits to communicate with colleagues at 20 operational sites.
