為實踐機構的社會使命及提供更優質的服務，機構在發展服務時，需具備合適的風險管理和內部監控措施。機構按其發展階段制定及執行相應的管理政策，對機構持續獲得各持份者（例如服務使用者及撥款機構）的支持及中長遠發展尤其重要。 員工是機構的重要資產。在眾多管理政策之中，制定安全指引以保障僱員的職業安全健康是機構進行風險管理的基礎。根據《僱員補償條例》，機構須購買保險以支付工傷或指定的職業病的補償。因此，本會邀請職業安全健康局及達信風險管理及保險服務（香港）代表，分享機構建立職安健系統及處理工傷的方法。本會亦邀請中小型機構分享實踐風險管理和內部監控措施的智慧及效益。分享會詳情如下： 內容: 1. 如何建立職安健系統保障僱員工作安全      講者︰職業安全健康局高級顧問  余海娟女士  2. 工傷事故的處理及保險相關意注事項      講者︰達信風險管理及保險服務（香港）高級副總裁 蔡雅翠女士  3. 中小型機構實踐風險管理的智慧及對促進機構發展的效益      講者︰小彬紀念基金會機構核心職能總監 余卓浩先生 日期：2025年2月27日（星期四） 時間：下午2時30分至下午4時30分 地點：香港灣仔軒尼詩道15號溫莎公爵社會服務大廈1樓禮堂 語言：廣東話 對象：中小型機構主管/管理層及中央行政人員 名額：120人（每機構上限3人） 有興趣參與分享會之機構，敬請於2025年2月24日（星期一）或之前，填妥網上回條報名。如有查詢，歡迎致電2876 2412或電郵到 tom.chan@hkcss.org.hk 與會員聯繫及服務經理陳偉豪先生聯絡。謝謝！ ...

Additionally, organisations have to address other developmental needs, including digital transformation, innovation ...
