Just attended 2 days of Recruitment & Retention Conference organised by Asia Business Forum and boy do I have information (more accurately frameworks) overload !
Having to sit through 16 speakers in 2 days is definitely no joke and honestly the retention rate fell sharply come Day 2.Talk abt retention and engagement .. how ironic ..hahaha
Really, most companies have the same talent development framework or retention strategies (using different terms to make it more sexy probably) if they are willing to engage pricey consultancy svs. But what sets me thinking is that how many HR practitioners do genuinely believes in the impact and good they bring in the strategies they implement ? Do they live, breathe these beliefs ? I dare say, not many.
Over the past days, I have met up with HR folks that fails to inspire which is so very sad. HR being the voice of the management, feeling the pulse of the people and proclaiming that People are the company's best (if not ONLY) asset & competitive advantage , yet in a social context fails to be an ambassador of the company brand and values.
So what makes a good HR practitioner ? Spare me the "people person" pitch cos in today's environment that is already a given. Strategic Partner ? Yah, we all aspire to be but are we really ? Do we even know what is a strategic role or what the company's business strategies are ?
Questions after questions which will probably keep me up all night .....now you know why my team gets stressed everything I attend a sharing... = P
