Caring Company Scheme (the Scheme) aims to foster strategic partnerships between the business and social services sectors to promote good corporate citizenship and create a more inclusive society. The Scheme also helps corporations and social services organisations to know and understand one another at a much deeper level. This will create more room for working together to develop cross-sector community projects that focus on the needs of the community.

URA has organised leisure activities for employees to promote health and wellness. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our workforce. Existing arrangements were enhanced to address their physical and mental wellbeing needs. Therefore, it is critical for URA to take further action to transform the existing leisure-oriented activities into more targeted and purpose driven wellbeing engagement initiatives. Our new wellbeing programme is designed to address these challenges and ensure that our employees have the resources and support they need to maintain their physical and mental health.
