Staff Communication and Consultation Since 1980, MTR has established a comprehensive staff consultation mechanism that has proved to be successful in resolving issues of common concern between management and staff as well as reinforcing a mutual trust. This mechanism is a two tier one comprising the Joint Consultative Committees (JCCs) at the foundation level and the Staff Consultative Council (SCC) at the corporate level. The SCC is for discussing matters of company wide interest while JCCs are departmental consultative bodies. About 460 staff are elected by their colleagues to serve on 23 JCCs across MTR. Apart from the staff consultation mechanism, there are two staff unions, the Staff General Association and the Staff Union. MTR maintains regular dialogue and cordial relations with the unions. In recognition of our outstanding performance in human resources management and significant efforts in maintaining good staff relations, MTR received the Good People Management Award 2001 from the Hong Kong SAR Labour Department.
