建造業是以人為本的行業，需要大量人才來為巿民和社會建設所需。創立於1963年的金城營造集團（下稱「金城」），一直積極建設香港及參與各項社區活動，參與每屆的龍舟競渡便是集團的傳統，活動成為讓員工發揮團隊精神的重要舞台，更成功增加員工對企業的歸屬感，成為留住建造界人才軟技巧。

為慶祝集團成立60周年的重要里程碑，金城特別於今年贊助6月22日舉行的「沙田龍舟競賽 — 金城鑽禧盃」，為連串的周年慶祝活動拉開序幕，同時亦貫徹和體現金城鼓勵員工積極參與康體活動，促進與員工和業界夥伴互動和交流的理念。除了組織員工隊伍參與，更廣邀客戶及業界友好派出龍舟隊伍，在這特別的競渡場上加強工作以外的聯繫，共建更深友誼，並分享鑽禧的喜悅。

金城行政總裁王紹恆太平紳士表示：「金城非常重視員工的身心健康，積極推動個人以至整個社會的可持續發展。鼓勵員工在工餘時間參與各類型康體活動是達到以上目標的重要舉措之一，讓同事們消閒放鬆之餘，更可促進不同部門的交流，有助建立團隊精神及正向工作態度，加強凝聚力。今天舉行的『沙田龍舟競賽—金城鑽禧盃』，特別高興能夠邀得一眾客戶及業界同儕一同參與，與我們同慶金城60周年的重要時刻。」

今年的「沙田龍舟競賽」是繼2020年後首次復辦，現場氣氛份外熾熱，於上午舉行的「金城鑽禧盃」更是備受矚目的賽事。金城派出旗下康體會的龍舟隊參賽，更邀請了合作無間的業界夥伴包括俊和發展集團、機電工程署、中電、港鐵、建造業議會及香港建造業分包商聯會等參賽。

哨聲一響，激烈的賽事隨即展開，現場龍鼓震天，健兒全情投入、悉力以赴，各隊支持者在岸邊吶喊打氣，歡笑聲不絕於耳。經過一輪龍爭虎鬥後，最後由機電工程署龍舟及划艇隊率先衝線奪冠，亞軍、季軍及殿軍則分別為中電合力龍、金城龍舟隊及港鐵龍舟隊。頒獎典禮上，金城行政總裁王紹恆太平紳士向得獎隊伍頒發獎盃，並向所有參賽隊伍頒贈紀念品。此外，金城龍舟隊亦於「建造業議會企業盃」中勇奪殿軍，成績令人鼓舞。

金城龍舟隊盡顯員工上下一心 通力合作精神  

金城行政總裁王紹恆太平紳士主持龍舟點睛儀式，祈求賽事順利舉行，同時祝願金城龍舟隊旗開得勝。

金城龍舟隊成立已有11年歷史，不但讓員工在工餘時享受運動樂趣，同時促進不同部門及職級的同事之間的交流，增加他們對金城的認同及歸屬感，更有效地留住人才。

金城龍舟隊每屆均有參加龍舟賽事，賽事停辦多年，隊員要重拾以往水平難免要下苦功，但憑藉堅毅意志與眾志成城的精神，隊員風雨不改地加以操練，再加上金城上下的鼎力支持，鬥志分外高昂，狀態亦恢復過來。

於金城服務超過20年的金城龍舟隊隊長Wilson表示：「龍舟是一項講求隊員互相配合和互相支持的運動，能夠培養出積極面對挑戰的團隊精神。這份團結與不屈不撓，同時可以應用在我們的工作上——在工程項目進行期間，難免會遇上各種難題，全靠不同部門群策群力，通力合作，往往可以迎刃而解。」

金城龍舟隊資深隊員Jack同樣於金城服務超過20年，他表示：「很高興每年均有新隊員加入金城龍舟隊！隊員由不同部門、不同年齡、不同性別的金城同事組成，資深隊員能夠與年青隊員分享經驗與心得，而年青隊員在發揮體能優勢的同時，亦往往能提供全新視野和角度，充分體現金城重視傳承、上下一心、薪火相傳的精神。」

首年加入金城龍舟隊的Chloe表示：「甫加入金城已經深深感受到同事互相鼓勵與支持、相處融洽的企業文化，後來更接受同事的熱情邀請加入龍舟隊。傳統觀念可能會覺得建築及龍舟都是講究體能、較適合男性的範疇，但在金城工作卻令我體會到女性不論在工作崗位還是康體活動上都擁有不可或缺的角色。隊員對新成員的支持及鼓勵亦令我感到非常窩心，明年定必繼續參加。」

Since its establishment in 1963, Kum Shing Group (“Kum Shing”) has been dedicated to the development of Hong Kong. Its commitment in thriving for a brighter future is well proven by its vision and efforts in contributing to society. It is also Kum Shing’s vision to train and retain talents, which are indispensable assets of the construction industry. Participating in the annual dragon boat race is one of Kum Shing’s tradition, in which its staff members can enjoy a fun activity while fostering team spirit and a sense of belonging.

On 22nd June 2023 (Dragon Boat Festival), the “Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race – Kum Shing Diamond Jubilee Cup”, sponsored by Kum Shing in celebration of its 60th anniversary, was held on Shing Mun River in Shatin, in which the Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team was joined by dragon boat teams from the company’s long-term clients and work partners for an exciting and friendly race, manifesting Kum Shing’s dedication to promoting holistic well-being for its staff and the public, and strengthening the connections among Kum Shing, its staff members and partners.

Mr. Rex Wong, JP, CEO of Kum Shing, remarks, “Kum Shing is dedicated to promoting holistic well-being among our staff, which is an important step in enhancing the sustainability as an individual and in turn the whole society. We encourage our staff to enjoy an active lifestyle and by organizing team sport activities, we offer opportunities for colleagues from different departments to relax and mingle, build team spirit and foster a positive working environment. It is particularly delightful to have dragon boat teams from our clients and partners participating in the ‘Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race – Kum Shing Diamond Jubilee Cup’, offering their support for our 60th anniversary celebration.”

This year, the “Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race” announced a sensational comeback after suspension since 2020 due to the pandemic. One of the most anticipated races of the day, the “Kum Shing Diamond Jubilee Cup” was held in the morning, featuring the dragon boat team under Kum Shing Sports & Recreation Club, alongside dragon boat teams from Chun Wo, Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, CLP, MTR, Construction Industry Council (CIC), and Hong Kong Construction Sub-Contractors Association (HKCSA), offering a great opportunity for Kum Shing and its partners to foster a stronger relationship outside of work.

The exhilarating race was fired up with rounds of cheers and applause from the audience and supporters of different teams alongside the Shing Mun River, while all players gave their best to strive for championship. The winner went to EMSD Dragon Boat and Rowing Team, while CLP Alliance Dragon Boat Team, Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team and MTR Dragon Boat Team took the second, third and fourth places respectively. At the award presentation ceremony, Mr. Rex Wong, JP, CEO of Kum Shing, presented prizes to the winners, and souvenirs to all participating teams, marking a joyous completion of the “Sha Tin Dragon Boat Race – Kum Shing Diamond Jubilee Cup”. Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team also took the fourth place in the “Construction Industry Council - Enterprise Cup”.

Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team exemplifies the values of teamwork and unity

Formed 11 years ago, the Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team is a dynamic sports team that brings together staff members to enjoy vibrant spare time together, which in turn enhances inter-departmental and cross-level communication, fostering stronger bonds and sense of belonging.

The Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team is a frequent participant in different races every year. Despite the shortfall in training opportunities due to the pandemic, with their own strong determination, grit and full support from Kum Shing, the team members were able to catch up with their training and entered the competition in their top form.

The leader of the Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team, Wilson, has worked in Kum Shing for over 20 years. He remarks, “As a team sport that emphasizes teamwork and mutual support among team members, dragon boat racing can nurture our team spirit, perseverance and determination against adversity – attributes that are useful in all circumstances. It is not uncommon to encounter at work and it is also through effective collaborations that colleagues from different departments can work as one to overcome difficulties and setbacks.”

Jack, a senior member of the Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team who has also worked in Kum Shing for over 20 years, remarks, “It is always a delight to welcome new members on board. The Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team is a big family of staff members from different departments, of different ages and genders. While senior members like myself are happy to share our experiences and insights with younger teammates, the strong and young enrich the team with fresh energy and new angles. This also resembles the core value of Kum Shing – embrace the legacy for a brighter future.”

Chloe, a young member who has joined the Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team for one year, remarks, “I feel blessed to be able to work in the friendly and supportive environment of Kum Shing. Invited by a colleague, I joined the Kum Shing Dragon Boat Team, happy to be discovering new horizons. While traditional beliefs may lead people to consider the construction industry and dragon boat racing more suitable for men, Kum Shing has offered a new perspective: women play an indispensable role in both. I am grateful to my teammates who are always so encouraging and supportive. I will definitely continue to join the dragon boat race next year.”
