Global HR Strategies for Today’s Culturally Diverse Workforce
Business success today often hinges on a company’s ability to bridge cultural differences and build a productive, cohesive workforce spanning multiple countries. Understanding these challenges is the first step towards preparing for them and leveraging them for competitive advantage. This session will provide an overview of today’s global workforce, the impact of cultural diversity on this global workforce, and the HR strategies needed to succeed in it. It will also look at global and cultural expertise as a key HR competency and important support resources to help HR professionals navigate this area.

Effective Design and Strategic implementation of Succession Planning
Developing effective leaders is the top priority in SE Asia however most organisations said they are not prepared to address the issue well as yet. Only 26% of Asia’s rising leaders believe their successors are ready to move to executive roles, compared to 43% in the rest of the world (according to CEB). A recent study by Deloitte shows that only 6% of respondents from Singapore have a strong succession planning programme, and only 12% have in place programmes to groom millennial and future leaders. As HR leaders, we are often the go-to person to resolve issues on succession. This session will provide essential highlights on an effective design and strategic implementation of succession planning, and our role as a HR business leader.

This is a complimentary event.
