AFTER-HOURS EMAIL LEGISLATION FOR HONG KONG?
As of January 1, 2017, companies in France with more than 50 employees must negotiate with their staff a clear policy on after-hour work emails. The new legislation has started a global discussion on employees’ right to disconnect, and Human Resources magazine spoke to three Hong Kong employment experts about their views on the issue. Scott Thomson, COO of Links International, Willie Cheng, head of people at Asia Miles, and Julia Gorham, partner and head of employment for Asia at DLA Piper, all agreed: There will not be any after-hours email legislation for Hong Kong in the foreseeable future. They cited the city’s free economy, its reputation for long working hours, and the currently more pressing issue of standard working hours, as indicators that Hong Kong is unlikely to follow France’s example.

It’s all about the money for the newest generation of potential employees in Hong Kong. When choosing jobs, undergraduates value salary and benefits the most, with 27% listing it as their top priority. Asked to put a number on it, 56% of them expect their first job to offer a monthly salary of HK$14,000 or more, jobsDB’s annual student survey found. The focus on money is in line with their targets for the first five years after graduation: The number one goal is to buy property. Popular goals aside from buying property are reaching management level, living independently and building a family. While younger generations have acquired a reputation of being jobhoppers, not all of them are constantly searching for greener grass, with 41% of survey respondents looking to stay in their first job for more than three years. Over a quarter of them would like to stay for three to five years.
