HONG KONG, Oct. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Broadband Network Limited ("HKBN") announced today that its Talent-centric approach and pioneering initiatives in human resources have been critically acknowledged after it became the biggest winner in Human Resources Innovation Awards 2015, walking away with the top accolade, the HR Grand Winner 2015, plus eight other prestigious awards.
The win of these nine awards demonstrates the comprehensive scope behind HKBN's passion to engage and develop its Talents into a competitive advantage. They include:
William Yeung, CEO and Co-Owner of HKBN said, "These nine awards really speak to the profound commitment we made to Talent engagement policies over the past decade, particularly after our management buy-out in 2012. What makes HKBN different is that we push forward with our beliefs and continue to try new initiatives for the benefit of our Talents and company."
Ivy Lau, Director - Talent Engagement & Corporate Social Investment and Co-Owner said, "We don't always expect 100% success from all our initiatives, but we are determined to take bold steps towards supporting LIFE-work priority and Talent development. As an innovative company, we take risks that we can afford, and we grow and excel in return. We hope this win can inspire many other companies to follow suit."
In the past year alone, HKBN introduced a number of forward-thinking HR policies such as shortening daily working hours from 9-6 to 9-5, expanding 17-day annual public holiday entitlements to all Talents including frontline workers, and providing 7.5 days of additional time-off from newly added leave benefits that include 2-for-1 Bonus Leave, Anniversary Leave, Family Care Leave, Festive Eve Half-day Leave, and others.
