CRAFTSMANSHIP
“We Create, We Are Artisans!” As innovation is a key driver for NWD, we encourage and support our staff at all levels to
apply creativity in their roles and to devise solutions that are relevant to the needs of our stakeholders.
Our People
Staff Care
As a Caring Company and Family Friendly Employer, we have developed a culture that encourages work-life balance and
provides opportunities for our staff to excel. Evidence of this can be seen in the human resources awards NWD has won and
the results of our Employee Satisfaction Survey conducted every two years. In our last survey held in 2015, we achieved a
satisfaction rate of 93% out of the 87% of employees who responded.
Among the recent staff caring programmes NWD has introduced, our CarePoints system allows staff to convert unused leave
above the statutory minimum into flexible healthcare benefits for staff members and their families.
We also take into consideration the working styles of different age groups. For example, we balance the needs of our staff
members, many of whom have families and prefer conventional working hours, with those of our younger employees who
appreciate a more flexible work schedule. NWD is among the first brands in Hong Kong to offer such a flexi-time
arrangement. Our innovative practices have been recognised by The Best Places to Work in Hong Kong Awards 2016 (HR
Summit & Expo 2016) and HR Asia Best Companies to Work For in Asia 2016 (
HR Asia Magazine
), among others.
