Thought leadership Lawyers’ Q&A on a remote workforce model in Malaysia: Issues around misconduct, performance, and data security If you’re moving to a blended location model, you need to attend this session where three lawyers highlight employers’ legal obligations in remote working situations. DATE 15 July 2020 TIME 10 – 11.30am (GMT+8) DURATION 90 mins PRICE 15 USD Webinar details: Employers are scrambling to adapt their HR policies to new regulations, as Malaysia moves into a recovery phase till August, post the lifting of the MCO. Having been thrust into remote working by design rather than choice, employers are now seriously considering blended telecommuting models. Rather than having everyone in the office back at the same time, some are taking a phased approach, while some are opting to wait-and-watch. Whichever side of the fence you’re on, there is no escaping the introduction of remote workforce models, or work-from-home, into your policies as the new ‘norm’. In this 90-minute learning session, three lawyers tackle critical employment issues around your legal obligations in a remote working environment: \ Misconduct and disciplinary issues while working from home. \ Managing performance for remote employees, especially under-performance. \ Confidentiality and data breaches in a remote-working situation.

Thought leadership Ready, resilient and relevant: Building an L&D strategy to help combat tough times DATE 25 June 2020 TIME 10 – 11.00am (GMT+8) DURATION 60 mins PRICE Complimentary Webinar details: Concern among CEOs about skills has more than doubled in 20 years, from 31% concerned in 1998 to 77% in 2017 – even as the majority of CEOs globally agree that significant retraining/upskilling is the most important way to close their organisation’s potential skills gap as recent as 2019. Evidently, to upskill or not to upskill is no longer the question – human capital is a top-three business priority for the C-suite. What that means for L&D professionals is an intense focus on revamping employees’ entire skills sets, including technical, behavioural and line-of-business skills. The preference for skills with a longer shelf-life and that can be transferred to many different roles is a trend that cannot be ignored; in fact, it is a possible solution for organisations to wade their way out of a recessionary business environment. In this webinar, we enlist the support of C-suite experts to identify key skills areas for the future, how to gain stakeholder buy-in, build frameworks around these, and anticipate future changes rather than simply dealing with the consequences – in the process future-proofing their workforce. Webinar content: \ How should line management collaborate with the business agenda to align talent development outputs to the overall business objective? \ Defining and constructing L&D skills frameworks necessary for the workforce to achieve business goals intelligently and efficiently. \ Attaining stakeholder buy-in to adapt your L&D strategy and delivering ROI in an era...

Thought leadership Taking a more strategic approach to HR Are you the strategic HR leader you envision yourself to be? View Recorded Webinar DATE 27 April 2020 TIME 10 – 11am (GMT+8) DURATION 60 mins PRICE FREE Webinar details: The need for HR to be more strategic has been talked about for over 20 years now, so it is no wonder that there is often a tendency to dismiss the idea of strategic HR. However, understanding what being strategic means, and being able to act in a way which delivers this, is still really important. In addition, it has become increasingly clear both what strategic HR involves and that it is not what many people think. Whilst HR has many urgent, transactional priorities right now, this is actually a great time to think more strategically too. Firstly, although we need to continue engaging with people and helping to manage the workforce differently, we can also often do this in way which provides more transformational opportunities too. Secondly, we can also use this time to prepare for a more strategic focus once we have passed through the current crisis. Whether we are looking at our employer brands, people organisation, HR business partnering, performance management processes or reward practices, there are really substantial benefits to be gained from acting more strategically. We can prepare to transform our approaches in all of these areas now. Thirdly, it is important we do not waste time when we may be less productive and increase investment in ourselves, so that we can increase our contribution to the organisation.
