The Hang Lung Emerald Award 2019 received 534 nominations from properties across Hong Kong and Mainland China, hitting record high since its inception. Four nominated cases were selected by the judging panel, which is formed by senior management, who evaluated the winners based on their performance on the following six criteria: initiative, sense of accountability, problem-solving skills, creativity, "Go the Extra Mile" and uniqueness of the response to the situation for which they were nominated.

Seven winning staff members and their supervisors attended the Hang Lung Emerald Award presentation ceremony at the new Peak Galleria today to receive recognition and praise from the senior management. The winning staff are based at Amoy Plaza, Gala Place, Peak Galleria in Hong Kong and at Parc 66 in Jinan, Mainland China. Their roles range from maintenance and customer services to guest services and property management. The majority of this year's winners have more than eight years' service with Hang Lung, and one has been working with the company for more than 20 years.

The rising number of nominations reflects our frontline staff's commitment to the company, the respect they have for the Emerald Award as well as the continued expansion of Hang Lung's business. In order to foster a spirit of "Go the Extra Mile" and a customer-centric approach to work, Hang Lung offers comprehensive training. This covers customer service, languages, professional development in areas such as construction industry safety and cybersecurity, multimedia courses in areas such as property facilities management and crisis management as well as annual emergency exercises to enhance responses to incidents such as fires, power outages and adverse weathers. As of September 2019, the frontline staff members in Hong Kong and Mainland China had collectively undertaken over 47,000 hours of training this year; this is equivalent to 98% of the training hours undertaken during the whole of the previous year.

In addition to being awarded a certificate and the Emerald brooch, this year's seven winners get to take part in an exchange tour of service excellence in Shenyang, during which they will have the opportunity to share their experiences, learn more about customer service standards in other industry sectors, and enrich their professional knowledge.
