At the Sports Fun Day 2004 of NWS Holdings Ltd (“NWS Holdings” or “the Group”),
nearly 100 fellow staff from our diversified subsidiaries performed an amazing
puzzle art. With big cardboard pieces, each of them made up part of our corporate
logo, and after a flip, turned it instantly into a slogan that read, “We serve with
strength”.
NWS Holdings indeed serves clients around the Greater China region with strength built on a workforce of almost 30,000 members. It is our belief
that people are our most important asset in delivering quality service. To uphold the philosophy of human resources management that values staff,
the annual Sports Fun Day is organized particularly to enhance sense of belonging and promote team spirit among subsidiaries. Come share our great
moments in this group-wide event in the Cover Story (p.6-8).
