The ‘MSS Megalove Volunteers Team’ together with the ‘Team of Care’ of the parent group joined hands to take up the challenge of the ‘Hong Kong Water Race 2021’.  The event took place at Shing Mun Reservoir in end-May to raise awareness of the importance of saving Hong Kong’s valuable water resource.  Since 2003 the ‘Team of Care’ has been proclaimed the champion of the highest number of service hours award on no less than fourteen occasions.  MSS is earnest to have part of its volunteer activities to be amalgamated with those of ‘Team of Care’ as a step forward in implementing Corporate Social Responsibilities.

The management revamp and reform over the past two years has seen MSS reset its core values to become: 1) ‘Integrity’, 2)‘Branding’ and 3)‘Quality’ (internally referred to as the “IBQ”).  The IBQ philosophy pervades at all levels, resulting in trust and respect being earned from MSS’ customers.  Amongst those, ‘Integrity’ is the key and essential element that each and every MSS staff shall possess, meaning a strong sense of moral and ethical standards and principles prevails across the company.  MSS will never compromise when it comes to Integrity Management, says Jay LAM Assistant General Manager, Financial Control and Corporate Governance on unfurling his working plan upon assumption of his new post earlier this year.

宏力保安過去兩年進行了管理改革及重組, 並將公司業務的核心價值重新配置 —— 1)「誠信」、2)「品牌」、3)「質素」 (内部統稱為IBQ)，因此全公司上下都鼓吹和籠罩着這幾項核心價值的理念，從而赢取客户的信賴和尊重； 而其中「誠信」更是首要的一環， 這個是全公司所有人員都必須做到的， 在專業道德及品格方面更是不可或缺的；林健民於年初接任助理總經理(財務控制及企業管治)時，在他的工作計劃裡指稱，宏力保安將要求所有屬下人員堅守誠信，這個方針是不會有任何改變的。

[2019-09-25] MSS comes under reform

Since early 2020, MSS has introduced the UK’s PeopleHours™ Cloud-based Duty Rostering and Reporting System to completely replace manual operations. This enables Frontline Staff to report on and off duty real-time online by use of the TelMe app and totally saves human errors which commonly happened in the past.  MSS frontlines will also receive SMS showing pay details on or before statutory pay dates and be able to enquire with the payroll team through a hotline.

自二〇二〇初，宏力保安已引入英國PeopleHours™ 雲端編更及報更系統以全面取代人手操作，讓前線人員利用手機程式TelMe於上下班實時報更，並由控制室人員即時協調以計準薪津，徹底解決以往經常發生的人為錯誤問題，除在法定支薪日或之前，發送手機短信將支薪明細顯示予前線人員以核對外，並設立熱線由薪津組人員向同事進行講解。
