Caring for Employees
As a caring employer, the Land Registry is committed to maintaining a healthy workforce. In 2012/13, we
organised a total of 23 seminars for staff on relevant subjects, including first aid, prevention of upper and lower
limbs disorder, health tips on the use of computer monitors, stress management, handling of workplace violence
and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. We also provided counseling services through external specialists
to assist staff confronting work-related or personal issues. Besides, we continued to enhance staff awareness
in maintaining work-life balance and a healthy life style through departmental publications, seminars and outings
organised by the Staff Recreation Club for staff and their family members.
Recognising the benefits of breastfeeding for infants, we support female staff to continue breastfeeding after
returning to work from maternity leave by allowing them to take lactation breaks during working hours and
providing facilitation arrangements in the offices.
Being Green and Environmentally Friendly
We continue to strive to ensure that our business and daily operations are conducted in an environmentally
responsible manner. To fulfill this commitment, we have taken the following actions:
•
formulated an environmental policy and set out key areas for actions;
•
promulgated green housekeeping guidelines for observance by staff;
•
conducted regular environmental audit and surprise checks to various offices to keep up the momentum in
environmental protection;
•
continued our drive in 4-Rs (i.e. reduce, reuse, recycle and replace) and efficient use of energy and
resources;
•
expanded the scope of green procurement through increasing the number of purchase items that should
contain environmentally friendly features and requiring the office cleaning contractor to adopt a number of
green practices, including reduction of water and energy consumption in their operation as far as
practicable;
•
promoted green awareness among staff by publicising messages on waste reduction and recycling, energy
conservation and anti-pollution through departmental staff magazine; and
•
implemented double-sided printing of land documents.
The Controlling Officer’s Environmental Report 2012 with detailed environmental performance is available on the
Land Registry’s website.
