25th HR Sharing - 27th May 2010

For the very first time, our regular HR sharing session produced 3 presenters. A wide variety of discussions to serve members better. Most notably was the presentation by Sean Rudge, a representative for Orange T. Many regard Orange T as a property agency, but to the surprise of many HR professionals, Orange T has set up a department specifically to assist HR professionals in dealing with the expatriate employees. From receiving them at the airport, to sourcing their accommodation and even quality schooling for their children. All these ‘chores’ would be handled by Orange T, assisted by an online system that would allow the HR administrator to log in to view at which stage of care has Orange T rendered to the expatriate employee. Orange T’s help would be right from the start of receiving the employee at the airport right up to the time the employee leaves Singapore. With Orange T, outsourcing has taken on a new meaning.

Chris Choong, a HRmatters21 associate discussed some of the secrets when conducting an interview. How to tell if the candidate is a visual or a sound person? That’s a trade secret Chris shares at his regular Interview and Selection workshop.

New laws with new challenges, third presenter Martin Gabriel of HRmatters21 presented what’s in the pipeline to proposed changes to the employment regulations. As Martin attended a presentation by the Ministry of Manpower at the Tripartite Alliance for Fair Employment Practices, he was of the view that it would be useful to share such up to date information with employers, as he was briefed at the TAFEP seminar. This ensures that they get a head start in preparing, what is to come. The proposals discussed were older workers working beyond their retirement age of 62 and a wider scope of coverage to protect Executives in cases of salary disputes and/or dismissal.
