Good Employer Charter 2026
The Good Employer Charter (GEC) organised by the Labour Department is now in its fourth term. Previous terms of GEC have attracted participation from organisations across various industries and of different scales, consistently promoting the implementation of good human resource management practices among employers. Please click here (1.9MB) to view the list of signatories of GEC 2024.
The Labour Department launched the GEC 2026 this year, featuring the theme of “Work-Family Balance, Together Strive for Brilliance”, which targets to encourage and recognise employers who provide flexible and diversified family-friendly employment practices in response to the family needs of their employees (including working parents who need to take care of young children). Through these initiatives, GEC 2026 aims to foster a family-friendly workplace culture and create a win-win situation for both employers and employees. Becoming a signatory of GEC 2026 not only enhances a company’s corporate image, but also forms part of its ESG strategy for corporate management. By implementing the relevant good human resources management, organisations put into practice the operational framework of ESG’s “social responsibility”, and achieve sustainable development goals!
