JOANNA BARCLAY

FREE Workforce Strategy Session

REACHING THE PEAK OF PERFORMANCE Joanna Barclay, Leadership Expert and Author, shares the basics of building a high performing culture within an organisation and how it can help employees grow to their full potential

Why is building a high performing workplace critical for organisations? When an organisation has a high performing workplace, chances are there is a high level of trust, collaboration and communication, with shared values and a strong culture. Your internal culture becomes your external brand. And therefore, with a strong external brand you will attract more clients and talent because you will be viewed as an industry leader. Unfortunately, statistics today show a growing level of disengagement within organisations. In particular, the National Singapore Happiness Survey results show Singaporeans are overall unhappy with their workplace culture. Imagine being unhappy at work. What impact do you think this state of mind has on performance, engagement and retention? With these results, it is not surprising the average levels of employee retention are between 20% and 30% in Singapore. Sadly, this situation seems to be accepted and is costing organisations way more than they realise. Studies have shown the cost of replacing an employee is between 80% and 200% of their annual income. This cost includes lost productivity, advertising, interviewing, and training. Change is also a constant in today’s business world, and high performance is directly related to an organisation’s level of adaptability and resilience. Regrettably, 70% of leaders fail in leading change, and that’s being conservative. How could leaders deal with change more effectively? By engaging staff in the change and investing in their workplace

culture, the “how” and the “doing the right thing”. When organisations invest in their corporate culture, they create what I like to call “cultural capital”. With cultural capital, your workplace culture is valued as a corporate resource and it is measured and managed like other valued corporate resources. Measuring and mapping a workplace culture practically guarantees higher performance, as everyone become conscious about what is working and what needs to change. We have found this process to be highly engaging. It empowers staff to take ownership and responsibility for the change necessary. It is also a very effective way for developing new mindsets, a critical factor in changing behaviour and developing a high performing workplace.

What role can HR play in fostering a great workplace culture? There is a new role today in organisations who are investing in cultural transformation. The official title is “Chief Culture Officer” (CCO), but the functions of the CCO can also be delivered by HR. These include: • Ensuring the new behaviours and programmes agreed to in the action plans are implemented and monitored to make sure they are providing the intended results. • Providing leadership and management development programmes that will support the new values and behaviours to achieve the desired strategic initiatives and future vision. • Leading annual cultural assessments to map

DAY ONE 17 May 2016 3:45pm - 4:30pm and measure workplace culture for ongoing continuous improvement. • Including all staff in the change and cultural values assessment processes. • Delivering the results of the assessments back to leadership and management teams, and employees, building trust in the process, and keeping all staff updated on the successes and challenges being experienced.

they need to be more trustworthy; if they want more respect, they need to give more respect. • Poor communication, a lack of dialogue, and not involving or engaging staff who wish to contribute their experiences and ideas. • Lack of inclusion in the change process, people feeling “done to” instead of being invited to be valued participants in the transformation journey from the very begining.

What are some key factors that derail an organisation from achieving a high performing culture?

What are you looking forward to during your presentation at the HR Summit 2016?

In my 30 years of business transformation experience, I have found there are three key factors that can derail an organisation from achieving a high performing culture: • An authorative and controlling leadership style, as opposed to a facilitative and collaborative style. The values of the leaders have a huge impact on creating the workplace culture. There must be one standard of values for all staff, including the leadership team. If cultural change is desired, it must start at the top. For example: if leaders wish to have more trust,

I have three goals for the presentation: • To enlighten leaders and create a new level of consciousness with regards to the value of a conscious workplace culture. • To create awareness of the wonderful opportunities available to organisations and HR professionals who invest in creating cultural capital. • To empower HR and enable them to embrace their roles in assisting leaders and organisations to build a culture by design.

BIO BRIEF Joanna Barclay is a thought-leader in the fields of transformational leadership and building high performing workplace cultures. With 30 years of business transformation experience, her passion is working with leadership teams to create values-driven, high performing organisations. During her work with various teams and leaders, Barclay has gained deep insight into the human dynamics of change, effective relationships, and mindful communication.

LEADING

FROM WITHIN

Before guiding employees, managers must first learn to lead themselves, says self leadership expert Andrew Bryant. Only then will it lead to the creation of a culture of “self-leaders” at all layers of a company

What is the core philosophy behind selfleadership? Do you ever feel that life is a test that you didn’t study for? Does work sometimes feel like a jigsaw puzzle and you are not sure if you have all the pieces? The reason is that we have been ill-prepared for success in the modern world. While the education system is catching up, it is still teaching mindsets and strategies for working and leading in a world that either no longer exists, or will soon be extinct. I believe “self leadership” is the vital missing ingredient. At its core, self-leadership is the ability to influence yourself in order to achieve your objectives. This puts the responsibility for motivated and focused action clearly with each individual. However, the reality of life and work is that success comes through collaboration towards a common goal. A team of self-leaders will be responsible for themselves, and accountable to that goal. Such a team will be innovative, motivated, communicative, flexible, and best suited to delivering results in a volatile and ambiguous environment. The leadership models of the past were designed to manage a static work force, which fulfilled the

6 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

same role for an extended period. These models are failing in a global environment of disruption where agility and mobility are the winning competencies. Successful organisations now need leaders at all levels, not just in the “C-suite”. This can be achieved by leaders developing their selfleadership and creating a culture of self-leaders at all levels of the organisation. Imagine the effect if customer-facing employees were fully responsible for their actions and clearly accountable for their results.

How should leaders lead themselves? The first step in developing self-leadership is increasing self-awareness. Recent studies show that about 83% of top performers score high in self-awareness, regardless of their industry or profession, and just two percent of low performers possess this critical factor. Self-awareness can be increased in many ways: journaling, reflection, feedback and psychometrics are just a few options. With self-awareness, leaders at any level can have and communicate self-confidence. Confidence is not thinking you are better than anyone else; it is knowing with certainty what you are good at, and that you can add value.

DAY ONE 17 May 2016 4:30pm - 5:15pm Self-awareness of our strengths and areas of development, combined with confidence that we can adapt and add value, builds trust. Trust is the key to influence, and to be successful, we must influence ourselves and others.

Why is the power of “no” important? When leading yourself or others, you must make effective decisions. In short, a decision is saying “yes” to one thing and “no” to another. Having worked with hundreds of leaders and thousands of people, I have found that the critical success factor is the ability to say “no”. Saying “no” to fear, self-doubt, self-criticism, limiting mindsets, bad habits, peer pressure, or dysfunctional practices. This creates the space to say “yes” to creativity, engagement, adaptability, feedback and success.

What are you looking forward to most at your HR Summit presentation? I am excited to be speaking at the HR Summit because I will be sharing self-leadership strategies, normally reserved just for my clients, that can empower leaders and organisations to be more effective from the inside out.

BIO BRIEF Andrew Bryant is an author and expert on Selfleadership and Influence. Together with Dr Ana Kazan, he authored the book Self-Leadership: How to Become a More Successful, Efficient and Effective Leader from the Inside Out. This celebrated guide to leadership development guide is being used in MBA programmes to teach how to influence employees and get them to take ownership and be accountable for results. Bryant is famous for his ability to inspire people, make changes, question conventional mindsets and embrace change resulting in positive outcomes. Living in Asia for the last 14 years and working globally, he offers insights and perspective on what it takes to be an effective entrepreneur and leader of people in a multicultural world.

HUMAN SYNERGISTICS

Why culture and leadership matters Culture impacts everything you do Development activities require a commitment on resources, which is why it’s important to make sure you’re working on what is actually going to make a difference. Human Synergistics’ research shows a clear cause and effect relationship between cultural styles and desired organisational outcomes such as long-term profit, adaptability and quality.

An integrated approach to development

very organisation has a unique company culture that either enables their business to succeed or acts as a barrier to it. Culture impacts all parts of the business because it guides the actions of employees whenever they face a situation where they struggle with the question, “what should I do?” Culture results from the signals organisations send to employees about how they are expected to behave. These messages are being sent constantly, but it isn’t just what we actually say - it’s the implicit messages we send through how the organisation is structured, how jobs are designed, what gets punished

or rewarded and more. By knowing what signals are being sent and how, you can purposely shape your organisation’s culture to achieve the best outcomes.

Changing the World – One Organisation at a Time® Human Synergistics are experts in organisational culture and leadership development and are now expanding their presence in Singapore. Since 1970, Human Synergistics has provided research-based transformation tools to organisations around the globe. Today, Human Synergistics are well known for their world leading diagnostics suite. Their materials are used in over 500 universities worldwide including seven of the eight Ivy League universities as well as 321 of the Fortune 500 companies.

Intelligence, not just data The key benefit of the Human Synergistics’ diagnostics is that they not only measure what your culture is, but also analyse the factors causing it to be that way and identify how you can go about shaping it to get the results you need.

10 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

Human Synergistics use common language and metrics whether developing individuals, leaders, teams or cultures. The characteristic Circumplex provides a way to see, measure and change the thinking and behavioural styles that drive performance. The Circumplex breaks down the factors underlying effectiveness into three general clusters and arranges them in a circular manner based on their similarity: • The Constructive styles focus on getting the job done well, developing yourself and others and building mutually satisfying relationships • Passive/Defensive styles are motivated by avoiding rejection, being different, making decisions or looking bad • Aggressive/Defensive styles are concerned with avoiding criticism, losing control, losing or making mistakes Research shows that individuals and organisations who use constructive styles are more effective over the long term.

DESSERT SAFARI

BITE-SIZED TAKEAWAYS

HR Summit 2016 is set to epitomise everything in HR, from workforce development to organisational strategy, and even… desserts? HR Summit’s much-cherished Dessert Safari has also been hit by HR fever and is back again for another year & Exhibition Centre, which introduced the Dessert Safari at the 2014 HR Summit. “Each booth ties in important trends to note for HR practitioners. Topics range from engaging a Millennial workforce to handling disruptions and then talent attraction. The featured desserts are also grouped and themed accordingly.”

From Baby Boomers to disruptions

Medley of macaroons, fruit tartlets, marshmallow and fruity dips with chocolate

ven this year’s Dessert Safari has decided to take a leaf out of the HR Summit 2016 book. Originally conceptualised by Suntec Singapore to increase the engagement between the HR Summit delegates and exhibition visitors, Suntec Singapore has upped the ante this year by incorporating key messages related to HR topics, to create a more immersive and relatable experience. Hence, the third edition of the Dessert Safari will fittingly resonate with HR themes via its nine dessert booths. “This truly immersive experience aims to serve up bite-sized takeaways for delegates in more ways than one,” says CH Kong, Senior Director, Marketing & Product Development, Suntec Singapore Convention

24 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

With more than 40,000 desserts having been consumed by delegates during last year’s Dessert Safari, they can again look forward to more delightful treats while mingling and networking with each other this year. The first station, entitled “Have Your Cake (and Eat it Too)”, will allow delegates to feed their sweet tooth and brains simultaneously. Delegates will enjoy delectable delights such as a live station of rainbow-dusted butter cream cupcakes, along with a buffet spread of raspberry-topped passion fruit cakes and matcha-infused cheesecakes, created by Chef Kwan Peng Kuen. For the second station, “Experience Never Gets Old” is the name of the game. “The silver tsunami of retiring Baby Boomers is a reality and a challenge in the workforce today,” CH explains. “While you work on reinventing policies for senior employees, take some time to savour these traditional oldies but goodies.” Attendees will be able to roll back the years with a live station of cinnamon doughnut rolls with chocolate sauce, while a buffet set-up of dewy mango puddings and assorted nonya “kuehs”, painstakingly crafted by Chef Mohd Fahmi, also await. The third station offers the theme of “Keep On Growing”.

Delegates will be treated to a live station of Chef Fong Weng Kueh’s cool coconut ice-cream crepes with peanuts and coriander, along with a sumptuous buffet spread of crunchy hazelnut royales and moist pistachio financiers. According to CH, disruptions are now becoming the new norm that HR managers must embrace. Based on the disruptive notion, a fourth station, “Expect the Unexpected”, has been crafted. “Taste these game-changing desserts made from unconventional ingredients, and be inspired to turn your challenges into opportunities,” he suggests. Delegates can look forward to Chef Wong Tai Boon’s live soy mango smoothie station along with a buffet-style spread of smoked salmon and avocado cheesecakes and sesame and vanilla panna cottas; firm favourites at last year’s HR Summit.

Millennials and the contingent workforce When it comes to stretching payroll budgets and competing for talent, CH says the ability to formulate the right mix of benefits and to match them to the right talent is crucial. “Hold that thought and dig into the variety of sweet treats here,” he states, introducing the fifth station, known as “Mix & Match”. Sure to delight attendees, this will serve up a live station of chocolate fountain with marshmallow and fruity dips, along with a buffet set-up of motley macaroons and totally fruity tartlets, with Chef Wei Wen Song behind the inspirational theme. The sixth station is dedicated to the millennial generation. Chef Michelle Kam has been tasked with planning “The Age of Millennials” station. She will oversee a live station of chocolate mousse cone, crunchy pearls and fizzy apricot dust along with a buffet line-up of lychee rose milk tea mousse cakes and yuzu mousse cakes. According to CH, HR managers are constantly assessing core competencies as they seek out the best possible recruits. This is the rationale behind the seventh station, aptly named “Down to the Core”. Strategised by Chef Vincent Lor, this consists of a live station of sesame glutinous rice balls coated with ground peanuts, sesame and coconut, and a buffet set-up of chocolate-coated cake pops and truffles coated with chocolate shavings.

Suntec Singapore presents a full array of tantalising desserts from traditional favourites to unexpected creations

A quirky trio of desserts featuring flavours like Yuzu and Lychee Rose Milk Tea The eighth station at Dessert Safari, entitled “From Ground Up” and created by Chef Bobby Kam, will feature a live station of caramel pumpkin creme brûlées and ready-to-go frosty carrot cakes and yoghurt pudding with aloe vera and berries. Last but not least, the ninth station encompasses a multi-layered approach to sweet treats by Chef Mohamed Khanafi. The “Rise of the Contingent Workforce” station will feature live offerings of banana fritters with sambal tumis, grated coconut, gula Melaka and coconut milk, while ready-to-go items include multi-layered agar agar and pandan kaya mousse cakes. “Simply put, we are presenting our dessert creations based on the key messages of the HR Summit to give delegates some food for thought as they visit the exhibition booths,” says Suntec Singapore’s Executive Chef Alfred Lee.

Dessert Safari recognised worldwide The Dessert Safari has not only been making waves locally, but globally too. In fact, it won the UFI 2015 award for being the “Most Creative Catering Solution for Exhibition” during the UFI London Catering Tour. UFI is the association of the globe’s leading tradeshow organisers and fairground owners, as well as the major national and international exhibition associations, and selected partners of the exhibition industry. As one of three finalists selected to deliver an in-depth presentation on an innovative catering concept, the award recognised Suntec Singapore’s entry – the Dessert Safari – as the most creative catering solution for exhibitions. “This award is voted upon by UFI members, who represent our peers, clients and partners in the industry and receiving this award is a great recognition. By thinking creatively on how to add value to a client, this has become a hallmark of quality for the exhibition industry,” said Arun Madhok, CEO of Suntec Singapore.

Making a splash

nternationally renowned speakers and decorated HR professionals will not be the only ones engaging audiences with their high-powered presentations at HR Summit 2016. In this year’s edition of the event, HRM Asia is collaborating with the HR student bodies from Singapore Management University (SMU) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to support soon-to-be HR practitioners and the wider profession. Students from both universities took part in an HR essay writing competition, with one winner from each university having been afforded the stage to present a 20-minute TED-style talk at HR Summit 2016. The subject matter of this talk will focus on “What Organisations Should Take Note Of - Managing the Future Workforce”. The winners will also get free access to all of the Strategy sessions at the HR Summit 2016 as well as the chance to be personally mentored by Foo Chek Wee, Group HR Director of Zalora. After careful deliberation by competition judges Foo and Ong Chuon Yan, President of the Organisational Behaviour and HR Society, of SMU, Cheryl Anne Lim from SMU and Lee Chuen Heng from NTU were selected as the respective winners from each university.

generation in the workforce, says her talk will be centered on how organisations can attract and retain millennial talent, as well as what millennials in Singapore can expect from employers. “I want to address some misconceptions and notions that millennials are ‘spoiled and entitled,’ and instead focus on the strengths that these workers possess in the digital age,” she explains. Lim says she is excited about meeting and learning from many distinguished guest speakers and HR practitioners at HR Summit 2016. “I believe I can learn so much from them and in return, the HR summit can also provide a platform for me to share my thoughts and fresh perspectives on the HR issues that many organisations face,” she says. Lee, a first-year student whose winning write-up revolved around conversations on work-life balance that he has shared with his close friends, says he hopes to tell a light-hearted story that will inspire the forerunners of HR to be on their marks to hand over the baton to the next generation. He is also eagerly awaiting the different speakers at HR Summit in order to get insights on topics not covered in the classroom. “I am also looking forward to meeting established HR professionals at the event to get their perspectives on developing myself to become a future leader in the HR community,” adds Lee.

Preparing for an impactful presentation Both judges said they would ensure that Lim and Lee receive guidance in refining the content that they will be presenting. “Besides this, we have also managed to get an award-winning speaker, Coen Tan, to coach them in the preparation of their presentation,” says Foo. HRM Asia’s collaboration with SMU and NTU also offers the chance for 20 other fortunate students to help out at the event, and also gain access to the Strategy, Retention, Talent, HRM and SME conference rooms to further their learning and develop new skills in workforce management. “Having this chance to attend the HR Summit will definitely be an eye-opening experience for them as they hear what thought leaders in the industry have to say about rising issues. Moreover, having access to the summit will give them a chance to network widely with HR professionals, which in my opinion, is invaluable,” Ong explains.

AKASH KARIA

FREE Workforce Strategy Session

STORY TELLING FOR SUCCESS Bestselling author and international speaker Akash Karia shares how the storytelling techniques of the best TED speakers can make your public speaking more engaging and entertaining

Why is it important for leaders to master the art of storytelling? How can it help them get their message across more effectively? I’ve spent my life studying the communication secrets of the world’s best leaders. After a decade of intensive research, here’s what I discovered: All great leaders, managers and speakers know how to inspire people using stories. So, why should you master the art of storytelling? Because: • People are hardwired to listen to stories. • Stories are like a Trojan horse – they deliver the point in disguise. • Stories are relatable. They take the audience on a mental journey, listeners have no choice but to come along for the ride. • Stories sell! The best way to persuade someone is by using a short and powerful story. If you want to learn how to persuade and motivate people, then science shows that a story is one of the best ways to do it.

Could you give an example of a leading brand that has successfully used storytelling to engage its clients? Think of any company with an absolutely raving

28 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

fan base, and it’s likely those fans are attracted not just to the product, but to the story behind it. Two great examples are: Apple (Steve Jobs was a brilliant storyteller), and Tesla (Elon Musk has done a brilliant job of motivating employees and customers using stories).

What are some things presenters should avoid doing when attempting a persuasive and powerful argument? There are several quick and easy ways to kill any persuasion attempt.

An “I-Focus”: Any presentation or pitch that is too presenter-focused (using words like “I”, “me”, and “my company”) instantly loses connection with the audience. Research shows that the most powerful word in the English language is the word “you”. If you want to give a persuasive presentation, give an audience-focused pitch.

No audience benefit: Any time you deliver a pitch, your audience is wondering: what’s in it for me? If you fail to clearly speak to your audience’s needs, you’ll lose.

DAY TWO 18 May 2016 4:00pm - 4:45pm 3

Neglecting the story: Data and logic are important, but so is the story. A story appeals to the emotional part of your prospect’s brain... and as we know, people make decisions based on both logic and emotion.

What are you looking forward to during your Workforce Strategy Session at the HR Summit Expo in Singapore? I’m excited about delivering my keynote on storytelling techniques for persuasive presentations. I’ve delivered that particular keynote all over the world, and people have always walked away transformed. I’m also very excited about the speaker lineup. The speakers are incredible. I’ve had the privilege of watching Marshall Goldsmith speak before, and I’m excited about seeing him in action again.

MARCEL DANNE

FREE Workforce Strategy Session

IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL PERFORMANCE THROUGH NEUROSCIENCE Health performance and leadership expert Marcel Danne shares some tips on how HR can help employees improve their mental health, and stay at the top of their game How can chronic exhaustion among employees take a toll on a business? Chronic exhaustion is by far the greatest robber of performance capacity, employee engagement, adaptability, and yes, critical revenue for any organisation. In these challenging times, where many companies are forced to find creative ways to adapt to changing markets, they are often at the mercy of the collective adaptive capacity of their people. One of the greatest challenges with chronic exhaustion is our ability to identify whether it is prevalent throughout the organisation. For the many executives and workers I have worked with over the years, being fatigued is considered an expected state that is often perceived as being quite normal. Even worse, is that even today, many people still treat “burning the midnight oil” as a badge of honour and for them, it is a demonstration of their devotion to the organisation and the company’s mission. However, research is teaching us that, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. An exhausted brain functions very differently from a rested brain. For starters, a rested brain needs much less energy and time to process new information, communicate effectively, learn new things, remember processes and details, resist distractions, and access creativity. In addition to this, a rested brain also tends to make fewer mistakes than a tired brain. Every single one of these cognitive processes is essential in day-to-day performance for any job-function. From there, one can easily imagine what the organisational performance capacity of an organisation

30 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

would look like if the majority of its executives suffered from chronic exhaustion. The dangers of a lack of awareness of one’s own fatigue levels should also be clear. This has been a fundamental question in my work. How insidious is chronic fatigue really? Well, in 2013, I set out to develop a tool that would help identify health, fatigue, and stress-related mental performance in teams of executives and help us answer that question. I researched 108 executives in Singapore who had an average age of 44 and were split evenly along gender lines. The majority of these executives selfassessed their fatigue and stress as being “marginal, but manageable”. However, after testing their brain performance and comparing their processing speeds with others in the same age group, I discovered that the average mental speed of processing in my research group was not 44, but a whopping 70 years old. What this means is that the brains of our workers are exhausted to such an extreme that they are performing their daily tasks with the performance capacity of a 70-year old brain. This realisation to me was earthshattering, as it shakes the entire foundation on which we build our industries. This became the catalyst for my book: HeadStrong Performance. I feel this is a topic that companies need to begin to pay attention to if they wish to achieve more and outgrow their performance ceilings.

What are three simple steps that HR can take to help employees improve their mental health? Recently, I had a conversation with the CEO of

DAY TWO 18 May 2016 4:45pm - 5:30pm BIO BRIEF With over 20 years of experience across business, sports, health and cognitive performance, Marcel Daane is considered one of the pioneers in integrating health and neuroscience to improve performance. He has helped individuals to transcend beyond their current performance plateaus by linking health strategies with mental training to manage stress, improve focus, ignite creativity, and drive change. The son of a celebrated political activist, and a former member of an elite naval intelligence unit, Danne has advanced degrees in Neuroscience of Leadership and Complementary Medicine. Carrefour Taiwan, Rami Baitieh, who has managed to successfully turn around Carrefour’s earnings to a 10-year high. After asking him what he did differently to achieve this amazing feat, he said to me that he implemented three steps that work hierarchically in his approach to organistional performance. In many aspects, the same three steps apply here as well. Mindset: As tool-based primates, our brains are programmed to think about innovating tools to help us overcome our challenges and achieve success. The predetermining factor is that innovation requires a specific type of mindset. Stanford University’s Carol Dweck speaks of a “Growth Mindset” versus a “Fixed Mindset”, where a growth mindset approaches challenges with a “can do” attitude and sees failure as a learning process that leads to greater experience and expertise in the future. On the other hand, a fixed mindset resists doing things differently and sees failure as a reflection on one’s inabilities and inadequacies. Interestingly, an exhausted and stressed brain tends to be more fixed-oriented than growth-oriented, which can be detrimental on many levels within the organisation. HR can help employees by first adapting a new mindset toward the understanding that health, and in particular mental health, is a viable business strategy with tangible, financial returns on investment. It has essential secondary benefits that improve the lives of each individual in all areas of their lives. Thus, we need to stop treating the health and wellbeing of our talent as one of those things we consider when we have enough time and budget, which will never actually happen. One of the greatest investments a company can ever

make is in the mental capacity of its people. Process: Once we have adapted this new mindset, we can begin to influence the mindsets of others within our organisation through strategising awareness programmes and training initiatives that are delivered from the top down throughout the entire organisation. Everyone within the organisation should be exposed to some form of self-care training and awareness campaigns so they can begin to take charge of their own mental wellbeing. Tools: Finally, a number of tools may need to be implemented to help assess need and evaluate progress throughout the organisation, which is not difficult to do. Existing metrics, such as culture surveys and 360-degree feedbacks, can easily be complemented with health and wellness surveys.

What are you looking forward to during your Workforce Strategy Session at the HR Summit Expo in Singapore? Every time I speak at conferences, deliver keynotes, or even during my workshops, I’m always excited at the prospect of giving my audience “light bulb” and “aha” moments that will inspire them to think differently about how they are approaching their work. In my experience, success is not measured by the challenges we overcome, but by the courage we exhibit when overcoming them. I really look forward to inspiring someone in the audience to think differently about their HR approach and to exhibit the courage to openly challenge the idea that chronic fatigue is normal within their organisations.

32 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

The environment in which people work has changed dramatically over the past five to 10 years. The increased use of technology and its expanding capabilities mean that the traditional lines between work and personal time have become increasingly blurred. In response to these changes, Impact International has co-created a powerful programme called “Going the Distance” with Sony Mobile and an Olympic sports psychologist. As an international facilitator, coach and consultant, Chan will be sharing the importance of better understanding ourselves and how daily choices affect our performance, health and wellbeing covered by the programme.

Want to create sexy presentation slides that will have a lasting impact on your audience? Based on extensive analysis of some of the best TED speakers, such as Daniel Pink, Amy Cuddy, Seth Godin, Bill Gates and many more, you too can learn how to create and deliver a great presentation people will remember. Through this session, you will learn about: • The most common mistake most presenters make – and how you can avoid it • The one principle that will make you better than 90% of most speakers • The importance of contrast • Locating and using sexy fonts • Displaying data without being dull • Ensuring consistency between slides

We all have psychological needs and want to feel valued for the work we do. If our needs are met, our work automatically feels more meaningful and impactful to the team and to the organisation as a whole. Research does show that people who find meaning in their work give more discretionary effort. If these needs are threatened, however, we get defensive, resist change, and give (at best) only minimal effort. With a background in philosophy and communication, Grant Bosnick will reveal practical tips on how to engage your team or employees and make them feel valued from a Learning & Development perspective, to boost their self-esteem, discretionary effort and commitment to execution.

Outstanding Organisational Culture – How to Harness and Develop it

Team building, staff recruitment and effective management are all a part of being able to be useful to others. As both internal and external HR involves communication with various people, networking is the key weapon HR can use. In today’s society, many people misunderstand the idea of networking. To most, networking is seen as an activity related to consultants, marketing or sales in order to generate business, but it is so much more than that. Networking is not about “getting” something from people but about “developing relationships” and “adding value” to them. In this highly informative session, Gil Petersil, networking expert, will share how you can use various approaches to create strong bonds inside and outside of your company, even if you are not in a client facing role.

Tap on your personal strengths to develop your own personal brand. Learn about Robert Salisbury’s six step strategy which will help you to position your skills for greater impact with clients and within your organisation. Improve your employment advancement and opportunities with your existing (or potential) employers, therefore gaining more results, respect, recognition and rewards.

When a project fails, mistakes occur or a talented team member chooses to leave, smart leaders ask: Why? The majority of the reasons people leave workplaces actually tend to boil down to the relationship they had with their direct boss. Underlying all those problems are relationship skills - the foundation of which is “communication”. You can make speeches, send emails and deliver presentations, but are you just broadcasting in a one-way linear fashion and ticking a box on a list that says you “communicated”? If the purpose of your communication is to change behaviour or move people to action, does it actually have the desired effect you wanted? If you want to enhance your communication to the next level in a range of situations, this session with Terry Williams will cover tools like priming, framing, emotional connectivity, state changers, imagery and feedback loops which are particularly gamechanging and, with a bit of practice, simple to implement.

Organisational culture is influenced by a variety of factors, not least the behaviour of the organisation’s leaders. How do leaders impact culture and how does culture shape an organisation as well as drive performance? As creators of the world’s most thoroughly researched leadership and culture surveys, Human Synergistics can review the factors that make for effectiveness in leaders and organisations. Join Director Michael Gourley to understand how you can move from your “current culture” to your “ideal culture” through the “How Culture Works” model, which provides the most advanced understanding of the overarching effect culture has on helping or hindering talent management, teamwork and organisational effectiveness – all linked to profitability.

BUSINESS LEADERS P

rasetiya Mulya Executive Learning Institute offers contextual solutions in terms of developing human capital and organisational capital. The solutions become unique to each organisation. This is what makes this institute a selected partner for business leaders in Indonesia. Deddi Tedjakumara, Executive Director of Prasetiya Mulya Executive Learning Institute, acknowledges that companies in Indonesia over the years have become significantly aware of the importance of building the capacity of their manpower. Business players in the country have come to realise that business gets tougher as competition grows. Top management in many companies have paid their attention to HR development in recent years as the business gets tougher in the face of growing competition. In previous times, HR development was only part of the agenda of HR departments. According to Deddi, HR development is now dominating the thoughts of C-level figures. Company leaders must have active involvement in determining where the development of HR is heading with regards to the necessary competence demanded by each job position. The involvement of company leaders in HR development is deemed to be vital as this relates to the future of the company.

34 HR SUMMIT 2016 EXPO GUIDE

As one of the institutes of business development and learning, Prasetiya Mulya Executive Learning Institute offers solutions to companies and business leaders who wish to build their HR capacity. Diverse HR development programmes are available at this institute and matched with the needs of partnering companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We essentially offer integrated and systematic development programmes that are based on competency, as opposed to sporadic programmes. We also offer learning, not training,â&#x20AC;? adds Deddi. Established in 1982, Prasetiya Mulya Executive Learning Institute has since served numerous government organisations and big companies in the country and overseas, including stateowned and privately-owned national and multinational companies such as Astra International, Kalbe, Triputra Group, Ciputra Group, Indofood, BCA, Mandiri, Kompas Gramedia, Prudential, Telkomsel, United Tractors, and Sinar Mas Land. The institute has also served the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia and the Singapore Business Federation (SBF).

The development programmes are tailored to existing conditions, situations, and limitations, thereby becoming the solution for the challenges that companies are facing. The materials provided in the programme use a different approach than those learning approaches seen in formal education which place emphasis on holistic ways of thinking, and integrating knowledge with its contextual implementation. The methods are considerably varied and not just in-class in nature. Through this approach, it is expected that those who have undergone the development process at this institute will be able to give real contributions to their company, either in the form of shortterm increase of performance or ideas that create value in the future.
