HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
A wide range of events targeting young people have been organised by the Housing Society Academy Alumni Club, most of which were informed by the goal to empower the younger generation with the necessary skills and mindset to serve the community at large. The Intergenerational Play Space Design Competition, Hoarding Beautification Competition, Gerontech Competition were just a few of the events that encouraged innovation and creativity among young people, while promoting intergenerational harmony.
Enhancing Capabilities
Challenges always bring a fair share of risks and opportunities, and we need to be well prepared in order to counter the risks and capture the opportunities.
To drive our longer term development, we have set up a Policy Research and Business Innovation Unit in 2020. The new Unit is geared to strengthen our research capacity for incubation of new businesses, services and practices as well as to promote innovation by advocating a workplace culture that accepts and embraces changes and multi-disciplinary collaboration. It is also tasked with strengthening our role as a housing laboratory by exploring new housing prototypes that suit the housing needs of all ages in Hong Kong.
A number of housing topics including intergenerational residential housing as well as the deployment of robotic technologies for maintenance operations and management have been on the agenda of the Unit.
In tandem, we strived to create an ‘innovative’ culture in the organisation by engaging our management team and staff in various learning programmes to keep them abreast of the latest technologies that will be vital to the sustainable development of the organisation.
At the same time, we have expanded our workforce and equipping them to go with the growth in the portfolio and pipeline of housing developments, which will be hitting the peak over the next ten years. We have also turned a new page for our operation when a new Operations Headquarters was set up and commenced operations at 1063 King’s Road to house
