Taiwan office offered farewell dinner to Hong as it can to broaden
Kong colleague
their exposure and
strengthen their abilities.
Continuing in such efforts, SPRG commenced an exchange
programme in 2009 for Hong Kong staff members, allowing
them to work at one of the Group’s six overseas offices
for about three months. The exchange programme will be
organised twice per year.
This year, four staff members joined the exchange programme,
two were stationed in Taiwan, while one in Beijing and
one in Singapore. Though all of the participants possess
backgrounds in finance, they were given the chance to expand
their expertise to include brand and corporate marketing and
CSR communications. Conversely, they shared their corporate
financial PR experience with overseas offices and arranged
meetings for local offices,
bringing in new business
referrals. Through the
exchange programme,
participants also gained
a better understanding
of local practices.
