HR Senate Manila - April 2014

WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
I believe in the adage: Hire people smarter than you and get out of their way, a
quote by Howard Schultze, CEO of the world famous coffee chain Starbucks. This
quote will take us back to the past 10 to 15 years, how CEOs and boards have
increasingly looked to their human resources leaders in adopting a more strategic,
results-oriented approach. It is also a known factor that HR leaders have acquired the
right business knowledge and developed their skill-sets to position themselves as
true business partners.
Philippines is known for low-cost and quality human resource. By 2016, around 12.4
million Filipinos would still be unemployed, underemployed, or would have to work
or create work for themselves in the informal sector. Addressing this growing job
challenges, companies needs to look into addressing issues that can help to attract
and retain the right talent and improve the overall hiring process in an organisation.
Any CEO that has ever run a business knows that talent is the lifeblood of their
company, but talent acquisition takes time - a lot of time! Also, once compensation
and benefits are agreed to and the employee is hired they must be constantly
trained and developed and their performance continuously monitored throughout
the entire employee life-cycle.
HR Manila by Trueventus is a one stop conference that will shift away from HR's
day-to-day accountabilities while focusing on leadership and business skills you need
to succeed. This will be a platform to hear from award-winning HR and
business leaders in designing a fruitful journey in developing the right talent for an
organisation.
This unique conference will bring delegates the

Managing a multi-generational workforce: Striking the right balance
between Gen Y & Gen X
Have you given a thought on what will be the best possible way to
manage talent in today’s increasingly global and fast-moving world?
Recent research has shown that one of the key challenges for HR will be
to find ways to manage the conflicting needs of the different age groups
now populating the workplace. A recent Ashridge report, for example,
shows that there is a real disconnect between managers and their
Generation Y employees (Culture Shock: Generation Y and their
managers around the world). While looking through different lenses
both gen Y and Gen X are struggling to work together effectively.
Striking the right balance and helping the generations work together in
harmony will be the key in identifying young talent.

Claims that HR professionals lack business nous and are slow to adapt
their policies and practices in line with changes in the world of work are
not something new. In fact if you are a HR person, you could be forgiven
for feeling a bit under siege at the moment. Surveys suggesting that HR
is not regarded as influential, is not seen by senior managers as adding
value and is failing to respond to changing business needs.
There are of course many HR professionals out there breaking
boundaries and pioneering new and exciting ways of working. But what
are the key issues that should be top of HR’s agenda right now?

implementing 360 approach to build a trustworthy and effective
workforce
HR leaders across Asia Pacific are increasingly straddling multiple roles to
meet business demands. As multinational organisations continue to
increase their presence throughout Asia and job seekers move amongst
countries in the region in search of new opportunities, the need for
organisations to mitigate hiring risks through background screening has
increased exponentially. Recognising this trend, Asia-based employers are
adopting similar tactics to keep pace and ensure their workforces are
properly vetted. As an integral focal for hiring top talents in your
organisation, how do you implement a 360 approach to build a trustworthy
and effective workforce?
