00:00The Star's inaugural Chief People Officer Summit, 2024, has brought together human resources
00:07professionals to enable them to spearhead initiatives that yield positive outcomes for
00:12both employees and the overall business.
00:14Themed, Future Ready HR – Navigating the Next Frontier, the Summit empowered HR leaders
00:21and organizations in anticipation of challenges and opportunities within the evolving work
00:25landscape.
00:26HR practitioners and thought leaders from Malaysia and around the region were present
00:31to share ideas and explore emerging trends, technologies and strategies crucial for shaping
00:37the future of HR.
00:39Senior Director of Solution Consulting at Workday Asia, Wong Pei-Wern, says she believes
00:44that technology is a major enabler in elevating people experience.
00:49Organizations in Malaysia and in the wider region are increasingly placing more value
00:54in a people-centric approach.
00:56As a result, organizations are looking at key priorities such as aligning skills to
01:01job and employee well-being.
01:03Events such as the Star Chief People Officer Summit bring together like-minded HR leaders
01:10to discuss and exchange best practices and share ideas in the workforce management area.
01:16Workday is a cloud-based human capital management systems provider, with AI built into the core
01:21of its platform.
01:23Wong adds that providing employees with the technological tools means that they can bring
01:27their best self to work and elevate their full potential.
01:31With real-time analytics, organizations can gain real-time insight into the workforce
01:36sentiments as well as workforce trends.
01:39This real-time visibility also allows the HR and the organization to pivot their HR
01:45strategy that will impact their business positively.
01:49In today's fast-paced work environment, where both parents are often pursuing full-time
01:53careers, workplace daycare facilities have become essential.
01:57Founder and CEO of KiddoCare Nadira Yusof says working parents trying to juggle their
02:02professional responsibilities and their children at home often result in stress at work and
02:08this affects their productivity at work.
02:10We're getting more of the younger generation of working parents coming in and they are
02:15hands-on, they are learned, they want to be able to provide not just for their own personal
02:20growth but also their families.
02:22So I think investing in childcare is definitely a goal for any organization looking at attracting
02:29talent, retaining talent, ensuring women can actually be maintained in organization and
02:35allowing them to progress in the organization.
02:39So I think childcare is definitely an investment that any organization will have to look into.
02:44So as we know in the recent years, the Gen Z has entered the workforce and very soon
02:51Generation Alpha will also enter the workforce.
02:55These generations grew up with technology, they are digital natives and they come with
03:01an expectation of workplace autonomy and flexibility.
03:05So this actually incidentally gels pretty well and aligns very well with the skills-based
03:10approach because it really focuses on the person's capability rather than a person's
03:17specific experience or qualification.
03:19With such ability to look at a skills-based approach, the organization will have the ability
03:25to allow the younger generation to take on more responsibility and also drive higher
03:31value work that will actually engage them better.
03:35The Star Chief People Officer Summit is organized by Star Media Group with Workday as the platinum
03:40sponsor and KiddoCare as the exhibitor.
03:43The strategic partners are M.I.Sharam and the Malaysian Employers Federation.
