How it's used
Professional titles in Hong Kong often follow a hierarchical structure where 助理 is added to denote a supporting or secondary role. While it sounds formal, it is frequently used in office settings to identify specific management tiers. It is common to drop the full title and refer to someone by their role if the context is clear.
