How to Adopt these Benchmarks? 

Employers can use the HKWEB as a reference for recruitment and staff development, i.e. they may wish to adopt these benchmarks as requirements in recruiting new staff, or as targets that they will enable their existing employees to reach.  Employers should consider whether to adopt the minimum benchmarks or the higher benchmarks, having regard to the specific needs of their companies.  They may wish to state clearly their adopted benchmarks and make it known to their employees and job applicants.  We encourage employers to motivate and to subsidize training for their employees to attain the benchmark standards.
