28th HR Sharing - 29th Jul 2011
What is fair employment? A subjective matter that should be left to the experts. Who are the experts? At the 28th HR Sharing, The Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices was on hand to share with Members, survey findings that reflected the behavior of different age groups and how certain element of biasness can be misinterpreted or misunderstood.
One of the most controversial topics discussed was the re-employment of older workers. With legislation to be enforced at the beginning of 2012, many companies were still adjusting and fine tuning their HR policies to accommodate new practices that would make it easier for the re-hiring of those reaching 62 years of age. Hui San from TAFEP, debunked myths that older workers were generally slower and need more time to adjust. Instead the survey conducted by TAFEP showed different results.
We thank Hui San from TAFEP, for spending over an hour with Members, in explaining the direction and objectives of TAFEP.

Medical leave issues
Numerous companies share the same common problem, and that is, the abuse of medical leave. Senior HR Consultant from Hrmatters21, Martin Gabriel shared some tips on improving attendance. He said Medical Leave is a right and not a benefit, and that staff who consumes medical leave should not be penalised. Instead, he encouraged companies to incentivise good attendance. He broke-down the cost of medical leave and said that these monies can be channeled back to the staff. He added, a staff on ML will not just cost the company money, but lost of output as well and eventually productivity.
We also thank guest speaker Yogesh Tadwalkar for sharing tips on compliance pertaining to work safety and health. Members found his sharing timely as the numbers of accidents at workplaces are certainly a concern.
Thanks to all Members who attended the 28th HR Sharing and made it a success. We look forward to the 29th HR Sharing. Cheers!!
