In this Guide we hope you have found some information and ideas that will be useful to you.  If you work in a large organisation – or are a large employer – many of these concepts and ideas will already be familiar to you.  But we hope nonetheless that you will find some thoughts to help you improve.

If you are an SME, some sections of the Guide may seem to be applicable only to large organisations with well-established HR functions.  What is important here are the concepts and these are relevant to employers of all sizes.  As a small business owner (or a small NGO), you will find that not only your employees but also your business will benefit from good employment practices.  A checklist is given in Appendix VIII with a view to assisting employers to review their practices against the Guide.  This is not a test.  We think it is highly unlikely that any employer will fully comply with every statement in the Guide.  But we hope it will help you determine if there are areas in which you feel you should do more.  You may also find it interesting to ask some or all of your employees to make their own evaluations.

The Employers’ Federation of Hong Kong is proud to bring you the latest edition of our Guide to Good Employment Practices and hopes that it will bring benefits to all who live and work in our community.
