Dedicated to the HR community, we quarterly publish Talent Management booklet series to provide easy to understand, informative articles and real case studies. In this issue, besides featuring a series of interviews of our honourable guest speakers for this year’s Greater China Talent Management Summit regarding the hot topic of managing generational diversity in the workplace, we also look into the latest news and updates on various HR topics including healthcare benefits, employee engagement, social media and recruitment. In addition, the latest result of Quality Workplace Index – 2012 1st Half Year, conducted by HeadlineJobs.hk in association with the Public Opinion Programme at The University of Hong Kong, will be reported as well. It is hoped that we could offer you the latest news on HR management and executive education, whilst also giving you some inspiration on managing your valuable talents as well as your own life.

Effective talent management today requires understanding of the challenges inherent in multigenerational workplaces, and to find ways to leverage on the strengths to create organisational success. In this issue, business and HR leaders from best-practice organisations in town are invited to share their own experiences in managing multi-generations workforce.
