Training and Development
The URA places much emphasis on keeping our staff abreast of the latest industry trends while promoting knowledge sharing within the organisation. In 2021/22, more than 120 internal training courses were organised and over 80 eCourses and Stories were published, generating over 15,000 training hours among our staff. On average, the URA invested around 20 hours in internal trainings/eCourse and Stories for each member of staff, which is well ahead of the market average in Hong Kong. Among the eCourses and Stories published, 67% of them were created internally, representing an increase in internal multimedia creation capability during the year.
