Executive Producer:Cho Kin Yam
Located in the Yuen Long Industrial Area, an industry-leading large laundry company collaborates with a social welfare organization to transform logistical work into opportunities for people with disabilities to showcase their strengths. This program not only addresses manpower needs and enhances service quality but also brings dignity and a sense of achievement to the employees.
Among them, the senior employee, Ho Gor, has grown from an apprentice into a trusted backbone of the factory since joining in his twenties. Department manager, Yuk Jie, patiently guides and assists disabled employees in learning and growing at work. The laundry company firmly believes that receiving the "Inclusive Buddy Award" is thanks to the support and inclusiveness of all colleagues. It is this culture that enables Ho Gor and many logistical staff to find their self-worth.
On the other hand, in Hong Kong's tech industry, software testing positions are highly repetitive and require technical knowledge, involving repeated checks of code and interfaces. A local tech company collaborates with a social enterprise to offer job opportunities to youths on the autism spectrum, discovering that their traits—high focus and perseverance—are exactly the advantages needed for this position. When these traits are transformed into professional skills, the possibilities in the workplace far exceed expectations.
Both companies prove that opening up to provide opportunities yields much more than anticipated.
