To encourage and support PWD to enter the job market, the Chief Executive in the "2024 Policy Address" announced the policy initiative of introducing the "Caring Employer" medal commending employers who actively engage the PWD.

We encourage organisations to sign up for the free capacity building programme, equipping yourselves with essential knowledge and skills, connecting with like-minded, and exploring different solutions for implementing inclusivity. Together, we can create new opportunities and expand talent management strategies under the ESG framework.
