Good MPF Employer Award 2022-2023 now open for applications

The Good MPF Employer Award (GMEA) 2022-23, organized by the MPFA, is open for applications today (12 April) until 30 June.

Now in its ninth year, the GMEA has adopted the theme “Let’s join hands for a better future!”, to give recognition to exemplary employers who provide extra retirement protection for their employees. Last year, a record breaking number of over 1,900 companies and organizations received the GMEA, including more than 300 first-time participants, indicating a growing trend among employers to place greater emphasis on providing better retirement protection for their employees.

To commend employers who have made continuous efforts to enhance the retirement protection of their employees over the years, companies or organizations that have been GMEA awardees for five consecutive years or more will receive the “Good MPF Employer 5 Years+ Award”. The “Best All-round MPF Employer” will be awarded to employers that met all the following five criteria during the 2022-23 award period: (1) received the GMEA for nine consecutive years, (2) offered more than one MPF scheme for their employees to choose from, (3) offered MPF voluntary contributions for some or all of their employees, (4) received the “e-Contribution Award”, and (5) received the “MPF Support Award”. 

Companies or organizations can directly submit an online application on the Good MPF Employer Award website. Employees are welcome to nominate their eligible employers to participate in the award.  Starting this year, MPFA intermediaries can also nominate their eligible employer clients to become Good MPF Employers.  Nominations can be made by simply submitting an online form on the GMEA website. 

The awardees will be commended at a presentation ceremony scheduled to be held in October 2023. In addition to receiving the GMEA certificate, awardees will have the right to use the GMEA logo on their websites and promotional materials, and will be invited to partake in MPFA activities, among other benefits. 

The GMEA aims to foster employers’ compliance with the MPF legislation and give recognition to employers who are exemplary in enhancing the retirement benefits of their employees. In addition to having participated in an MPF scheme for at least one year and complying with the MPF legislation, a Good MPF Employer are required to have provided extra retirement protection for its employees. Response to the GMEA has been encouraging. Since its debut in 2015, nearly 2,800 employers with about 250,000 employees in total have been given the Award.
