Hong Yip has consistently upheld the “people-oriented” corporate philosophy of its parent company, Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited, and is dedicated to enhancing talent quality as a cornerstone of its sustainable development. Recently, the Company was commended the "QF Gold Star Employers" certificate at the “Qualifications Framework (QF) Partnerships Commendation Ceremony 2025” organized by the Education Bureau. Since its launch in 2020, this ceremony has been held for three times. Hong Yip is honoured to be one of the only two companies, among 94 awarded companies, to receive this highest prestigious recognition for three consecutive times, showcasing the Company’s leadership position in the industry and recognizing our effort in talent training and development.

As the leader in the property management industry, Hong Yip established the “Hong Yip People Development Academy” (HYPDA) in 2007. To actively support the Education Bureau to implement the Qualifications Framework, the Company became the first property management company, accredited by the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ), to run QF programs in 2010. In the same year, the Company also became the first company across all industries to provide in-house “Specifications of Competency Standards (SCSs)”-based courses for staff. Currently, Hong Yip is organizing over 20 QF-recognized courses from Levels 1 to 4. Additionally, Hong Yip is approved by Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) to be the only company to provide courses for Property Management Practitioner (Tier 2) Licence. By engaging in a strategic partnership with Li Ka Shing School of Professional and Continuing Education of the Hong Kong Metropolitan University, credit exemption is offered to our in-house graduates to save nearly half of their study time and tuition fees when enrolling to the Property Management Practitioner (Tier 1) Licence Program of LiPACE, providing diversified professional training to its employees and enhancing the overall service quality. 

Hong Yip's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Alkin Kwong, stated, "As the Chairperson of the Industry Training Advisory Committee for Property Management under Qualifications Framework, I am honored that Hong Yip has been awarded the 'QF Gold Star Employers’ certificate for three consecutive times. Hong Yip has always been placing strong emphases on talent development strategies. We provide diverse career development training for employees with our comprehensive training system and application of smart intelligent technology. On one hand, it improves employees’ management and leadership skills, as well as their professional knowledge and techniques, cultivating an all-round professional talent pool for the Company and enhancing our service quality. On the other hand, this serves as a proactive leading role for us in the industry towards a win-win situation, promoting sustainable development in the sector.”

Hong Yip will continue to support the Education Bureau and actively participate in the promotion of QF. The Company will also maintain close collaboration with local training organizations and tertiary institutions, aiming to providing employees with more comprehensive and flexible learning pathways, encouraging lifelong learning, increasing their professional qualifications and recognition, and enhancing service quality for customers. This can also help nurturing talent for the industry’s sustainable development and generating fresh momentum for Hong Kong’s long-term development.
