Welcome
to the Homepage of the Labour Department of the Government of
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Starting from 1 July 2007, the Labour Department
has come under the Labour and Welfare Bureau following the re-organisation
of the Government Secretariat. With its roles and responsibilities
remaining unchanged, the Labour Department will continue to provide
comprehensive employment services, promote and safeguard employees'
rights and benefits as well as safety and health.
Hong Kong is facing unprecedented challenges
in a fast changing economic landscape. In particular, employment
is a concern to all in the community. It is therefore our prime
task - and that of the entire SAR Government for that matter -
to devise effective measures and initiatives to facilitate employment.
With a flexible and open mind, my colleagues and I are totally
dedicated to promoting job opportunities. We will leave no stone
unturned. We welcome your views and suggestions in our continuing
efforts to improve the employment situation in Hong Kong.
Other than facilitating job creation, the Labour
Department will continue to improve employees' rights and benefits,
rigorously enforce labour laws, foster harmonious employer/employee
relations as well as promote occupational safety and health. We
aim at improving employees' rights and benefits at a pace commensurate
with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong and with a right
balance between the interests of employers and employees.
Our Homepage is a focal point of labour and employment
matters of Hong Kong. We have uploaded onto our Homepage a wide
range of useful information, covering our public service, organizational
structure, all the upcoming events and the latest news of the
Department as well as recent publications on labour and employment-related
subjects.
I hope that you will find your visit to our Homepage
fruitful and user-friendly. Your suggestion on our policies/services
and our Homepage would be most welcome.
