Mr Anthony Rushton
Chairman, Organizing Committee
Award for Excellence in Training and Development 2022

Since 1990, the HKMA Award for Excellence in Training and Development has recognized organizations and trainers with
outstanding achievements in people development that contribute to business performance and results.

The past two years of COVID pandemic and global instability have been very challenging for business. Companies have
had to adapt quickly to digital transformation and talent competitiveness. Our training community has clearly risen to the
challenge, as attested by the high quality of this year’s entries, such as innovative talent development initiatives, creative
use of data analytics and the latest technology in training.

As businesses continue to face new challenges, whether social, economic, political or environmental, trainers must be agile
in helping organizations effectively drive changes, and instil new concepts and skills, such as ESG (Environmental, Social
and Corporate Governance) and use of new technologies. This Award is an excellent platform for trainers and organizations
to share knowledge and best practices. Together, we strengthen our organization’s performance as well as Hong Kong’s
economic competitiveness.

I congratulate all the winners of the 2022 Award for Excellence in Training and Development, for their outstanding
achievements and commitment to training and development.

The success of this Award owes much to the staunch support of many in our business community. I would like to sincerely
thank my fellow members of the Organizing Committee for their unwavering dedication; and all members of the Panel of
Adjudicators and Board of Examiners for their selfless efforts. My deepest appreciation goes to all our Sponsors for their
generous support.

I am especially grateful to The Honourable Mrs Ingrid Yeung JP, Secretary for the Civil Service of the Government of the
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, who has kindly agreed to be the Guest of Honour at the Award Presentation
Ceremony.
