Photos and roundup: Talent Management Asia 2017, Malaysia

Best practice case studies and keynote sessions on how to attract, develop, engage, and retain talent were the highlights of  Talent Management Asia 2017, Malaysia, Asia’s biggest and most respected conference on talent management and human capital strategy.

Organised by Human Resources, Talent Management Asia is back for the fourth year with insights into some of the biggest talent trends and challenges. This event was specially curated to bring together HR heads and business leaders to discuss updates in the talent marketplace and other HR trends.

Produced by Evon Yew and held from 7 to 8 March 2017 at Connexion@Nexus, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the event was attended by more than 180 delegates, speakers and sponsors.

Post a well-deserved lunch break, Ling Hsern-Wei, general manager, human capital, PwC, shared a case study on how organisations can develop the skills that managers, supervisors and team leaders need to be effective in performance appraisals.

Ling shared three observations about performance management.

“Performance appraisals and performance management are not the same thing; the most valuable performance management is done informally and day to day; and a culture of real time development is the most powerful force in the world of high performance,” he said. “But many organisations ignore all three.”

He was followed by Andy Muniandy, regional HR director, South East Asia, Dell EMC, who shared some key takeaways from redesigning and streamlining a performance management process at the computer technology company – these include the critical areas to focus on as well as challenges and how they are overcome.

“Performance management is not something that you can change in one day, it is a process. You have to constantly make it better to meet the expectations of the organisation, the leaders and the employees,” he said.
