Introduction | Details | Programme | Method of Registration

Working in NGOs is demanding. The pressures for frontline workers are especially high, considering the complicated nature of social problems and the increasing expectation from the community. Supervisors and team leaders always face the dilemma when making extra demands from their subordinates. Some of them would become helpless when they find their staff members too stressful for the job requirement. What can they do to relieve the pressure and energize their staff members?

In the HR Forum 2008, we have invited Dr. Tsang Fan Kwong to provide practical tips for supervisors who find their team members too stressful. Mr. Ronald Fung will also share his strategy to build a happy and satisfying working environment. Managers and supervisors from our Agency Members are also invited to share their own experience on the matter.

In addition, there will also be roundtable discussions, which provide HR managers and supervisors opportunities to share wisdom and benchmark practices especially ways to build employee-friendly working environment.
