Caring for Our Staff

Staff Recreational Activities

To facilitate communication among staff from different divisions, and promote work-life balance, our Staff Club organises a wide range of recreational activities periodically.

Hong Kong Marathon 2018

In 2018, approximately 30 staff members and their relatives took part in the race. Our consultants, contractors and other partners were also invited to join the race, making up a strong team of 83. During the race, runners cheered for each other, bringing team spirit into full play.

Dragon Boat Race

Since its establishment, the DSD dragon boat team has been training regularly and actively participating in various dragon boat races over the years. We hope these activities can help our staff maintain good health and establish stronger group cohesiveness.

Our team won the first runner-up in Silver Bowl Race (Mixed) and the second runner-up in the Corporate Team (Male) of National Day Small Dragon Boat Open Race 2017 in Cheung Chau

Sports Competitions

To promote colleagues' physical and mental wellness, in addition to joining marathon and dragon boat races, our Staff Club actively participates in sports activities held by other organisations and organised inter-departmental sports tournaments for colleagues to unleash their potentials. The sports include football, basketball, table tennis, squash, snooker, tennis, badminton, bowling and darts, etc.

Goodwill Visits

We value staff feedback greatly. To enhance exchanges between the management and frontline staff, DSD introduced the Goodwill Visit Programme in June 2013. The Director and Deputy Director of Drainage Services as well as other directorate staff pay visits to frontline staff at their workplace annually, listening to their concerns and deepening ties with them. In 2017-18, the management made a total of 9 goodwill visits to communicate with frontline staff at 12 operational sites.
