In addition to the offering of annual leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, marriage leave and volunteer leave, some of the highlights of Hang Lung’s family-friendly practices include the annual outing which is free for staff, and the Family Knows Your Workplace program under which all staff from Hong Kong and Mainland offices are encouraged to invite their family members to visit their workplace so as to learn more about the Company and their work. It is by so doing that helps both the Company’s business operations and the wider community.
