Topic: Retaining and Motivating Staff in Hospital Authority: From Crisis to Strategies
In the public hospital system, 58,000 Hospital Authority (HA) staffs make their best effort to serve the 700 million population of Hong Kong, providing reliable 24-hour services year round, and meeting the challenges of epidemics and other non-infectious public health threats. With modest resources they cope with rising demand from ageing population and high public expectations. While the resilience and professionalism of our health care workforce are remarkable, there are signals that staff commitment to serve under adverse conditions may be precarious, and the expansion of particular specialty services in the private sector hospital can tip the balance abruptly. In this presentation, the challenge of retaining and motivating staff in HA is reviewed. HA management is adopting an active staff engagement approach to lay open the issues and challenges, while taking the opportunity of the ¡§crisis¡¨ period to focus on mid-term and long-term workforce strategies.

Topic: Public Policies and Employee Engagement
The Eurozone crisis, ¡§Occupy Wall Street¡¨ movement and our government¡¦s budgetary approach, the keynote presentation will examine how these world and public affairs affect the way we engage our staff. Enjoying a relatively healthy economy with low unemployment rate and steady growth, it is not the time to be complacent about the future. With global economic problems loom large over the local economy, managers should brace themselves for possible tough times ahead. However, the government also has a part to play amidst the prospect of an economic downturn, and to prepare for ¡§the rainy day¡¨ by increasing public spending on areas such as education, healthcare and welfare. The presentation also proposes measures to stabilize the property market as a way to achieve better social harmony. Finally, the presentation advocates better practices by employers as a way of engagement of the general workforce.
