Annual Report 2015
CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY
63
Understanding staff’s needs to take care of their family members, the Group
enhanced the flexibility of the Medical Subsidy for Dependents this year. Under
the new mechanism, family members can utilise the unused quota of other
family members. Comprehensive family care can help employees stay focused
and motivated.
Employee Wellbeing
New World Sports Club organises sports activities to enhance communication,
trust and team spirit amongst staff within the Group. This year, the newly
formed Women’s Basketball Team won a silver medal, while the Football Team
took fourth place in the Inter-hong Tournament. Besides, the Group’s Fun
Fun New World organises a wide range of activities, including the New World
Group Family Open Day which strengthen family ties through office tours. Held
in January 2015, the two-day trips to the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom received
overwhelming response from staff and their families. FUN FUN Joy Farming
lets staff and their relatives learn organic farming and green living while
appreciating nature.
Cultural Ambassador Programme
To foster an open, creative, encouraging and positive working culture, the
Group launched the “Cultural Ambassador Programme” in 2013. Cultural
Ambassadors are recruited from staff, forming teams to visit all major corporate
offices of Group companies and workplaces of frontline staff. Through
presentations, performances and giving of souvenirs, the Cultural Ambassadors
promote corporate culture to new staff members and strengthening cultural
awareness among current staff to enhance internal communication and
synergy across the Group.
Annual Outstanding Employee Award
The Group launched the Annual Outstanding Employee Award since 2013 to
encourage staff to deliver their best performance. Nominations are reviewed
by a judging panel comprising senior management of Group companies. Staff
who exhibit outstanding performance in their respective aspects are awarded as
a token of the Group’s appreciation for their contribution.
