Galaxy holds event showcasing WHS, talent cultivation

Gambling concessionaire Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG), has showcased workplace health and safety (WHS), as well as talent cultivation, in a recent event attended by Director of the Labor Affairs Bureau (DSAL), Wong Chi Hong.

Wong remarked at the event that, “Sustaining a high-standard WHS practice while retaining and cultivating talent is key to ensuring the long-term development of Macau’s integrated tourism and leisure industry.”

The official applauded the gambling concessionaire’s effort in actively fostering a generally-observed WHS corporate culture and launching various programs dedicated to talent-development.

In a statement, the GEG noted that it continued to co-organize the Hotel and Catering Industry Safety Card Training Program with DSAL this year. To date, 95% of GEG team members have completed the program – the highest completion rate in the industry.

To cultivate local talent in Macau, GEG provided team members with career development and training programs in a variety of fields to assist them with achieving personal growth. The GEG talent development programs provided more than one million training hours to team members throughout 2021.

Besides supporting the Internship Career Experience Program organized by DSAL for the second year, GEG re-launched the U-LEAD Graduate Internship Program.

Group director of human resources and administration of GEG, Eileen Lui, thanked DSAL, saying, “On behalf of GEG, I would like to thank DSAL for its guidance and support to GEG’s WHS promotional work. Additionally, GEG has proactively supported the Macau SAR Government’s policy of ‘Building Macau through Talent Training’ by allocating resources to cultivate more talent for Macau’s integrated resort industry and foster Macau’s economic diversification.” AL
