PEOPLE MATTERS THINK TANK THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: BECOMING A GLOCAL
ORGANISATION

Despite the lockdown and closed borders, our actions, economies, businesses, and
processes were highly interconnected. For businesses, it has also given an
opportunity to leverage global talent and increase talent pools. But how do HR
leaders build the organisation of the future that is increasingly global and
local at the same time? How can they create a shared yet open culture where
every employee feels comfortable to be their authentic selves?


RICK HAMMELL

Founder and CEO, Atlas

11:20 am - 12:00 pm


PEOPLE MATTERS THINK TANK 2: FIND THE BALANCE: ACCOUNTABILITY VS FLEXIBILITY

HR leaders are facing the paradox of finding the balance between flexibility and
accountability in a globally distributed hybrid workforce. The demand for
flexibility in work hours, work styles and workplace has increased. That
challenges the conventional ways of getting things done. As leaders, how do you
ensure flexibility for employees without losing productivity? Moreso, as HR
leaders, how do you maintain sanity in the entire organisation and enable people
with diverse work schedules to work together?

PEOPLE MATTERS THINK TANK 3: BUILDING ORGANISATIONAL RESILIENCE: WELLNESS OVER
WORK

Burnout, mental health and wellness concerns are far from over. In the race to
survive and thrive in the evolving business environment, how do HR leaders
ensure that the cost of business growth is not employees health and well-being?
It is time to invest in the holistic growth of each individual and enhance
stress-coping ability (personal resilience) and resilient workplace behaviours
(employee resilience). Let's explore the paradox of ensuring organisational
resilience and well–being, while overworking on many initiatives with fewer
resources and an already stretched team.

GAP

Organisations have to move with the pace of change amidst the fear of an
upcoming recession and ongoing skills shortage. Leaders realise the importance
of skills development to propel growth for both business and talent. But where
do they begin from? How can HR leaders nurture the diverse generations of talent
learners to face the brittle and incomprehensible future of work? What support
do they seek from different stakeholders to eradicate the skills gap?
