Staff Recreational Activities

The DSD strives to maintain good communication with the workforce and encourages a culture of work-life balance. The DSD Staff Club regularly plans and organises various recreational activities to promote physical and mental health, champion a balanced lifestyle and support team-building.

Goodwill Visits

To foster communication and reinforce ties between the management and frontline staff, the DSD introduced the Goodwill Visits programme in 2013. Under the programme, Director and Deputy Director of Drainage Services, as well as other directorate staff, pay visits to frontline colleagues at their workplaces annually to understand their concerns through warm dialogue. In the year under review, the management made a total of 10 Goodwill Visits to communicate with frontline staff.
