Through these initiatives, GEC 2026 aims to foster a family-friendly workplace culture and create a win-win situation for both employers and employees.

All private organisations, public bodies (excluding government bureaux and departments), employers’ associations / trade unions / professional bodies, and non-governmental organisations / social enterprises / educational institutions in Hong Kong are eligible to participate.
