Two memorable experiences stood out for me – one with my CEO and the other was with my Chief HR Officer. The experience with my CEO occurred during his closing address at one of my company’s leadership development programs. His simple question was “What’s next?” This simple question if reflected and acted upon earnestly, will prevent us from being complacent and drive us to conscientiously think ahead always.

The second experience was a conversation with our CHRO during this year’s HR leadership meeting. When asked what words of wisdom she could offer to guide us into 2011, she said “Always stay close and relevant to the business”, which we all knew was meant to inspire us to continue to add value and be strategic partners to the business.

If I may add, I would say, “Stay close to doing what you love, stay relevant and ahead by developing future capabilities needed to be successful in the near future”.

SHRI Continues to Set the Tone for HR Fraternity in Singapore
HR imperatives include mobilising and managing talents and renewal for continuity
 

1. This was the highlight of the Singapore Human Resources Institute’s 41st Annual General Meeting held at The Pines on Friday, 30 March 2007, which hosted some 70 members.

2. Mdm Ho Geok Choo, re-elected as the President of SHRI, together with the newly appointed Executive Council that comprises HR and business leaders, drives the Institute into the new term from 2007 to 2009. Dr Goh Jin Hian, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Ltd, one of the newly elected Vice Presidents, spoke of his interest to engage the HR community on a more strategic approach. Dr Goh has over 14 years of experience in healthcare and has been providing consultancy advice to CEOs, Trade Unions and human resource managers in the area of healthcare benefits and cost management.
 

3. Mr Erman Tan, the Chief Executive Officer of Asia Polyurethane Manufacturing Pte Ltd, is one of the newly elected council members. Under his leadership, his company received the Enterprise 50 Awards for business excellence for 3 consecutive years from 2004 to 2006. Another new member is Ms Tan Siew Ping, Chief Editor and Senior Vice President (Programming) of MediaCorp Radio Singapore Pte Ltd, who has over 15 years of management experience in the media industry.


4. Among the newly appointed council members are Mr Arthur Khong Heng Kow, Vice President, Group Regional HR, Yeo Hiap Seng Ltd; Mr Lim Khia Tat, Regional Human Resource Director, Asia, Kulicke & Soffa (S.E.A) Pte Ltd and Mrs Molly Yeo, Executive Director and Head of Human Resources, ABN AMRO Bank N.V..

 

5. Members unanimously approved and supported the incorporation of an Advisory Panel into the Institute’s Constitution. “Setting up of an Advisory Panel represents a big step forward for the Institute. We seek to leverage on the pool of industry leaders to tap into their talents, vast experiences, skills and knowledge for advice and thought leadership, to further enhance the standing of the Institute and HR professionalism in Singapore”, said Mdm Ho Geok Choo.

 

6. David Ang, Executive Director of SHRI added, “With the newly elected Executive Council and the new Advisory Panel, we are excited about the future developments of SHRI towards greater contribution to the HR fraternity, in particular, in the context of managing talents in an increasingly more diverse workforce, job creation and employability of an ageing workforce, as well as cultivating a continuous learning and sharing culture among employees and organisations.”

 

7. Professor Wee Chow Hou, Professor & Head, Division of Strategy Management & Organisation, Nanyang Business School, who was invited to give a talk, shared with the audience some ‘Effective HR Policies and Practices for the Future: Some Food for Thought for Singapore HR Practitioners’. Professor Wee underscored the importance of understanding global HR practices, and its implications, to manage the highly talented and mobile group of employees today.
