The Life of Frank: 5 Years, 29,300km Traveled
 
 
  At HKBN, we live by LIFE-work priority. Throughout our operations, the Talent-first initiatives we champion (like 37 fewer work days than a typical company in Hong Kong) give HKBNers the latitude needed to navigate life, health, family, work and our community with purpose and satisfaction.
 
 
  Like many HKBNers, System Analyst Frank Shi’s journey is a glowing example of how we’ve empowered Talents to live life to the fullest and still achieve their career aspirations via working smart rather than working long hours. During his 5 years with us, Frank has been promoted from a junior Talent into a leader guiding a team of IT professionals. And in that time, he’s also pursued a passion for discovery via travels to far-flung places like Jordan’s ancient city of Petra, Turkey, Angkor Wat, Nepal, Sri Lanka and more. In between colourful adventures abroad, Frank has embraced a growing commitment for our Corporate Social Investment (CSI) efforts, volunteering time to teach STEM knowledge at Tsuen Wan Trade Association Primary School.

“Before joining HKBN, I hadn’t really traveled. Because of our LIFE-work priority culture and the many leave benefits we enjoy, as well as inspiration from fellow teammates, I felt encouraged to explore the world and experience people and cultures far different than us.”
Frank Shi, System Analyst – Information Technology
