To date, the Group has subsidized over 90 children of staff to pursue a full-time degree programme. Additionally, we regularly organize social and recreational activities for our employees and their families to foster better family relationship and greater parent-child interactions. As part of our commitment to Building Homes with Heart, we create a family-friendly workplace to support our employees in fulfilling their family responsibilities. For instance, our employees are entitled to full-pay maternity leave for 10 weeks, or a paid paternity leave for up to five days. We go beyond regulatory requirements of paying 100% of salary for paternity leave. We also provide breastfeeding amenities to accommodate the needs of nursing mothers. To facilitate family-work balance, flexible work-hour arrangements are available for employees with needs. Value Created for People Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited • Sustainability Report 2019/20 19
