What is the solution?
As "growth" is the objective of all parties, HR must build an employee value proposition that would achieve this. This value proposition has to premise itself on satisfying employees needs that will result in highly engaged employees, who in turn will deliver high–quality products and services, bringing about happy customers. This interactive process will maximize the human capital and business growth through a strong employer and product brand.
In particular, to be successful in Asia, it is important to synergize East with West in all decision making. Three approaches are recommended: Global for Local, Local for Local and Local for Global.
The first is having a mindset of a global framework allowing for local customization when necessary. The second is encouraging local for local initiatives to capitalize on local advantages. The third is sharing best experiences and strengths for global benefit. In the case of talent management, organizations should strongly encourage diversity and inclusion, to take advantage of the strengths of the talents that come from different cultures to maximize the company′s human capital, from the inside out. This is a unique opportunity and should not be missed.
