Hong Yip wins a Platinum Award for job creation

Hong Yip Service Company won a Platinum Award in the Employees' Retraining Board (ERB) Employers Gold Star Awards this year, in recognition of its achievement in employee retraining and job creation.

This was the third consecutive year that Hong Yip won in the scheme, finally taking the top Platinum honour. The company is a keen supporter of retraining and hiring the unemployed. Its participation in various ERB programmes has enabled the company to find the talented people required and fill over 400 vacancies with ERB trainees last year.

Hong Yip knows it needs the right people to live up to SHKP's promise of 'building homes with heart', so the company takes staff training seriously. Unlike many companies that have cut staff because of the weak economy in recent years, Hong Yip has offered retraining and jobs for the unemployed and those wanting a career change. These efforts have won praise and recognition from the ERB and the market.

The company has various incentive schemes to encourage and subsidize staff who take extra courses to better equip themselves and keep up with the times. Successful staff receive commendations. Hong Yip will continue to enhance staff training and attract talent in an effort to lift service standards to new heights and maintain their market-leading positions.
