Panel Discussion HR Paradox : Opportunity or Threat
Organizations in Asia Pacific region are confronting a human resources paradox. Despite the climbing unemployment rate, we are facing talent shortage which is affecting the majority of industries and geographies. Issues such as aging workforce, changing patterns of employments, shifting of demographics, cross generation employees’ conflict, and advanced in technology are driving not only the shortage in talent but also the specific skills and competencies required by emerging industries. Organizations must look outside the traditional employee boundaries and need to prepare a talent management strategy. They need to become ‘employers of choice’, adept at attracting and retaining talent by understanding the motivations of individual generational groups and providing opportunities that will appeal to them. Encouraging cross-training and promoting job flexibility will provide an organization with employees that can step into a role quickly.
