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”.

Managing human performance is of course a major factor
in the functioning of any business or institutional

and appraisal. Singapore's past approach, trends, an
analysis of the present practices of 120 Singapore
companies and relevant benchmarks are discussed.

infrastructure, and sets an important benchmark for

Singapore HR Quictionary: A Quick Reference to Human Resource Concepts,
Practices and Guidelines
– by Tan Chwee Huat
This book is a quick reference to basic
HR concepts and practices, as well as other work-related
topics and guidelines with special reference to
Singapore. Also included in this volume are several
appendices providing easy access to important tripartite
guidelines on issues such as non-discriminatory
advertisements, best-work life practices, flexible work
schedule, family friendly workplace practices, National
Wage Council recommendations, and others.
This book draws valuable lessons from Minister Mentor
Lee Kuan Yew when he too, faced with the crisis of his
life during Singapore’s separation from Malaysia, turned
this major setback into a winning comeback. Analogously,
those experiencing career transitions, retrenchment and
job insecurity can draw inspiration from this book to
derive new energy and hope for a new beginning.
