Programme Highlights In 2014, the Building Services
Operation and Maintenance Executives Society (BSOMES) took an initiative
to provide financial support for a research project, which is the first
of its kind aiming to reveal the state of building operation and
maintenance (O&M) manpower in Hong Kong. In collaboration with the
Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and with the support of 20
building-related organizations, the project, entitled “A Study on the
Building Operation and Maintenance Manpower in Hong Kong”, has been
completed recently. Altogether 75 organizations and over 400
individuals, who are building O&M stakeholders, participated in two
surveys under the project. Presented in this seminar are the key
findings of the project, such as number of persons engaged for building
O&M works, number of job vacancies, expected changes in manpower,
levels of manpower demand and supply, levels of importance and
knowledge/ skills of various trades of O&M works, and suggestions
for improving the existing O&M manpower. Subsequent to the
presentation will be a session for exchange of opinions as well as
questions and answers.
