Equal Opportunities Commission recommends adopting measures such as flexible work hours and regular breaks to help struggling employees
Hong Kong’s equality watchdog has launched a guide on supporting employees with mental health conditions in the workplace, recommending measures ranging from adopting flexible work hours to having regular short breaks.
The 30-page guide was issued on Tuesday by the Equal Opportunities Commission, which received 222 complaints of discrimination related to mental health conditions between 2022 and June 30, 2025.
Doris Tsui Ue-ting, head of policy, research, and training with the commission, said most cases involved dismissing an employee after learning about the mental health condition or after a certain number of sick leaves had been taken.
