Outstanding Disabled Employees Award invites nominations
The Labour Department invites employers to nominate disabled employees for the Outstanding Disabled Employees Award (ODEA) 1995.
"The ODEA aims at giving formal recognition and appreciation to disabled employees with outstanding achievements." Senior Labour Officer (Selective Placement), Mrs Jennie Chor, said.
"We hope that through this meaningful annual event, more employers can recognise the working abilities of the disabled and provide them with more employment opportunities."
"On the other hand, we also hope that it can provide an incentive for disabled employees to further improve their performance at work," she added.
The criteria for selection will include their overall performance, efforts and achievements in overcoming difficulties, diligence, devotion and accomplishment in employment.
They are also required to attend an interview by a panel of judges.
"Winners will each be awarded a souvenir plaque and their nominators will also receive a souvenir," Mrs Chor said.
Both the winners and their nominators will be invited to attend a prize presentation ceremony later this year.
Deadline for nominations will be August 20. Interested parties can contact Miss Yung of the Publicity and Promotion Unit on 2852 4803 for nominations.
