Although a carer-friendly policy is not yet widespread in Hong Kong, some companies are making efforts to grant their employees carers' leave to help them balance their return to work and family responsibilities.

Take Sun Hung Kai Co Ltd as an example. The company will officially introduce unlimited paid leave from 2021. As long as employees meet performance targets, they can take unlimited paid leave. In this way, employees are more motivated to help the company improve its performance and also have more time to spend with their family members.
