Our Commitment to Powering Human
Capital
“The HR profession has, indeed, evolved over
the years and to bring it to the next level playing field, we must go
the way of “Human Competitiveness Management”. We should think far,
beyond the management of HR functions in corporations and focus on the
WHYs, WHATs and HOWs human contributions can be created and sustained to
enhance corporate growth and the progress of a society and nation.”
Mdm Ho Geok Choo
President, SHRI
"There is more to HR than meets the eye.
People have construed HR as an administrative function that hires and
fires employees only, but it isn't. The industry has evolved from the
era of being merely one of personnel management to one of human capital
management. It is also important to redefine the HR function as a
strategic partnership with other key players within a business, and one
that helps an organisation to minimise costs"
Mr David Ang
Executive Director, SHRI
