The Greater China Talent Management Summit 2014, organised by A-Performers.com, is now in its 9th year. This conference has been well received among human resources professionals throughout the greater China region as an effective platform to share insights, knowledge and tools on talent management. In today's era of rapid change, we are facing a host of different problems and challenges never before experienced or even imagined. The Greater China Talent Management Summit 2014 will focus on the study of the pivotal role of people leadership in organisations to ensure future success.

HR experts, as the champions of people leadership, must understand the strategic issues that drive their business and strike a balance between being an employee advocate and being a strategic contributor. They must also be able to manage the changes taking place outside of the organisation and mirror the changes inside it. In fact, HR professionals need to be seen as much more than a supporting function and instead must be viewed as integral to the organisation's change management strategy.

In this issue, several heavyweight speakers at the Summit share their in-depth views on people leadership. Matthew Cheung Kin-chung, Secretary for Labour and Welfare of the HKSAR, emphasises the importance of collaboration between the Government and the private sector to leverage the potential of today's younger workforce while at the same time valuing the contributions of those employees approaching retirement age, all in order to ease the labour shortage challenges that plague Hong Kong.

While change is unavoidable in today's dynamic business era, Joe Ngai, director and managing partner of the McKinsey's Hong Kong office, stresses that the role of a human resources expert should be taken to new levels in order to identify true leadership qualities and to nurture the potential of young talents.

With respect to human resources managing, Steve Chow, managing director of TMS Consulting, adopts a "back to basics" principle, which is illustrated in a model that features the delivery of quantifiable values in all HR aspects of a company.

Henry Chamberlain, the immediate past president of the Hong Kong Psychological Society and founder of his own consultancy firm, highlights the importance of psychometric test, a standardised assessment method to objectively measure cognitive ability and personal traits through the use of numerical scales or category systems. Compared to traditional personnel selection methods, Chamberlain believes that psychometrics can provide a more accurate measure of job relevant capabilities.

A softer approach is taken by Dr. Christine Lai, the founder and CEO of Heart Consultancy Ltd. She is a strong advocate of a holistic and humanistic talent strategy to allow employees to become self-motivated in a workplace environment that pays respect for diversity, wellness and the engagement of the body, mind and soul.

Other prestigious speakers will also share their thoughts on issues related to people management and how they are aligned with organisational successes. They include Carmen Lam, CEO of Principal Global Investors and PrinCorp Wealth; Iris Cheng, senior human resources manager at CLP Power; Glenn Dittrich, director at IBM; and Dr. Paul Sin, CIO and executive director at BancLogix. Their insights are sure to inspire everyone.

The Government and private sector collaborate to ease the labour shortage
Thanks to continuous economic development and prosperity over the years, Hong Kong is today one of the very few places across the globe that enjoys a very low unemployment rate. Despite this, labour shortages and an ageing population are posing other challenges to many businesses that necessarily affect their operations and increase overall labour costs. To address these issues, companies need to attract a new and younger workforce on the one hand while also trying to retain veteran employees.....
