As a result, the company was recognized with three Employer of Choice Awards in a ceremony hosted by JobMarket, a top job search website in Hong Kong SAR.

Otis Hong Kong received awards in categories titled, “Employer of Choice,” “Appreciation Culture,” and “Employee Engagement.” The awards recognize organizations and leaders who demonstrate outstanding talent management in the workplace through quantifiable results.

“These awards provide important recognition of our ongoing efforts to create an inclusive culture that encourages and celebrates the diversity required to innovate, connect and thrive in a taller, faster, smarter world,” said Joseph Armas, Managing Director of Otis Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

People & Communities

Otis Hong Kong employees actively support the local community and were recently recognized by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service for the 15^th consecutive year of service to the community.

Volunteers have worked with local NGOs to organize over 60 initiatives that positively impacted the lives of over 3,000 members of the aging population and children in need. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, employee volunteers cared for and checked on members of the aging population living alone, while distributing over 500 hygienic kits that contained masks, gloves and hand sanitizer. Recently, employees donated more than 100 science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) related books and smart devices to a create a “STEM library” in a local primary school.
