Dear colleagues: The population of employed caregivers in Hong Kong is continuously rising, and they bear a double burden, enduring both physical and mental pressure while balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. In recent years, public attention to caregiver issues has significantly increased. More and more corporations recognize that supporting the caregiving needs of their employees is not only an expression of fulfilling social responsibility, but also a key investment in enhancing employee sense of belonging, stability, and productivity. The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) has always been committed to advocating and promoting a "Caregiver-Friendly" society, and actively acts as a bridge between the social welfare sector and the business sector. We observe that many corporations are willing to provide substantial support to employed caregivers, but may not know where to start or lack channels to access professional service providers. To respond to the above needs, HKCSS is currently ...

Recent trends of manpower and human resources in the social welfare sector have drawn NGOs’ concern over retention of existing practitioners as well as future leadership of the sector. Coupled with the increased pressure to adapt quickly to evolving service needs with limited resources, NGOs and the sector face many challenges to maintain quality service delivery, organisational management as well as governance.

The Programme is a 12-month journey comprising around 30 days of Leadership Development over the first 6 months, followed by the design and implementation of a Staff Development Fund Project in the ensuing 6 months. Its aim is to broaden the exposure of senior management in the social welfare sector ...
