In today's business world, environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are becoming increasingly important for both investors and consumers. Employees, as the most valuable asset of any company, are also paying more attention to how their employers perform on social issues such as health, welfare and training.
How can Hong Kong small and medium enterprises (SMEs) meet the expectations and needs of their employees in these areas?
To answer this question, Bowtie Life Insurance, ESG Matters and Dialogue in the Dark conducted a survey in Hong Kong from different sectors and backgrounds. The survey aimed to assess the current initiatives and performances of SMEs in Hong Kong in promoting well-being and training for their employees, and to provide recommendations on how to improve them.
The collaboration hoped to raise awareness and encourage SMEs to prioritise employee welfare, invest in comprehensive training programs and create sustainable workplaces that foster growth with social influence.
Some of the key findings are:
This survey is a valuable tool for Hong Kong SMEs to summarise the views of their employees on welfare and career development, and to understand their needs and satisfaction levels more deeply. Companies should seize this opportunity to strengthen their competitive edge by improving their social performance.
