The event at a glance
The Annual Southeast Asia HR
Summit is the premium forum that brings together two key parties to any
project; the decision-makers and solution providers.
Organised by marcus evans earlier this month in Malaysia, the summit gathered
100 Regional HR leaders, consultants and solution providers in an intimate
environment for a focused discussion of key new drivers shaping corporate
priorities and HR strategies.
As an invitation only event that
takes place behind closed doors, the summit offers a streamlined agenda consisting of compelling
presentations, roundtable discussions, interactive forums and business meetings
that provokes creativity leaving attendees with nothing but superior knowledge
and practical insights after the two-day event.
Key Highlights; The
OMG Factor!
With an impressive speaker line-up of 20 Regional HR thought leaders
sharing their best practices and day-to-day experiences on efficient ways of
maximising employee performance, methods to equip top talent with global
competencies, successful ways of attracting and retaining top professionals,
and developing versatile leaders, there was not a dull session throughout the
summit.
Key highlights from the summit were
most definitely presentations from John
Nolan, SVP HR, Global Markets, Unilever; Grace Wong, VP & Regional Head of
HR, SEA & Oceania, Samsung Asia; Gaurav Sharma, HR Director, Bottling
Investment Group, Singapore, Malaysia, & Brunei, Coca-Cola Singapore
Beverages; Mei-lynn Chan, Head, Group Organizational Development, and HC Group
Technology, Group Human Capital, Maybank; and Tak Ming Lai, Director, Group
HR & Admin, Gamuda Berhad.
As there are two important
components to the summit, besides compelling presentations, the one-to-one
business meetings were also a hit among attendees as HR leaders had the
exclusive opportunity to discuss industry challenges with renowned solution
providers.
These business meetings were a
win-win scenario as solution providers also had the opportunity to build new
relationships directly with top decision makers and develop rapport
face-to-face all in one exclusive time and place.

There will be a big shift in talent acquisition strategies in Asia over the upcoming
year, as organisations try to better target their offering, in order to cater
to the needs of both active and passive candidates.
Presentations touching on strengthening one’s position as an employer of
choice by utilising social media and its potential as an effective recruiting
engagement tool were well received by attendees.
Embracing talent analytics and big data to define the links between
people practices and productivity was also acknowledged and agreed as a method
to improve operational performance.
