Unlocking the Potential of Hong Kong's Local Workforce: The Benefits of Retaining Women and Older Workers

Unlocking the Potential of Hong Kong's Local Workforce: The Benefits of Retaining Women and Older Workers

Hong Kong has been actively seeking to attract top talent from around the world in recent years, but it would be a mistake to ignore the potential of its own local workforce, particularly its women and older workers.
These groups have much to offer and can contribute to the city's efforts to replenish its talent pool.

According to [Christopher Tang], it is important for the government to take the lead in encouraging the private sector to recognize the value of having women and older workers in the workforce.

This would not only help to retain these groups, but also to boost their participation in the workforce.

There are several benefits to having more women and older workers in the workforce.

For one, it can help to address the current labor shortage in Hong Kong, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, older workers bring with them years of experience and knowledge, which can be invaluable to organizations looking to overcome the challenges posed by the pandemic.

Moreover, it is important to recognize that women and older workers have faced unique challenges in the workforce, such as gender and age discrimination.

By creating a more inclusive and supportive environment, organizations can help to attract and retain these groups, which can lead to a more diverse and innovative workforce.

In conclusion, while it is important for Hong Kong to continue to attract top talent from around the world, it would be a mistake to ignore the potential of its own local workforce, particularly its women and older workers.

By recognizing the value of these groups and creating a more inclusive and supportive environment, organizations can help to boost their participation in the workforce and ensure a more diverse and innovative talent pool for the future.
