Human Resource Management


3 HR PRACTICES - UNIQUELY SINGAPORE!

Below are some examples of unique Human Resource Practices.

IKEA
  • IKEA has a strong belief in the importance of family, and it shows in their HR policies as well as their store design and features. IKEA offers co-workers the opportunity to try new positions and actively encourages co-workers to try 10 jobs in 10 years.
  • In their corporate headquarters, dress is casual and employees enjoy the opportunity to bring their kids to work on occassion. Co-workers enjoy their own private cafeteria where there's more than just meatballs, and there are even 'quiet rooms' for co-workers in the stores - a secluded place to quietly relax or even meditate while on a break or before or after work.

ESPLANADE
  • Many companies have taken steps to put prospective customer service staff through various stages of testing. Often intangible attributes like "a great personality", or a "sense of being ready to help out" are factors for hiring a candidate.

  • One example would be when the Esplanade-Theatres on the Bay hired part-time ushers, who was hired depended on the candidates' smiles.
Workforce Development Agency(WDA)
  1. Collaboration with key agencies and associations to develop and implement an effective engagement and leadership development strategy with Retail CEs and HR managers to educate them on the importance of training investment and business outcomes, as well as to highlight the rationale of Retail CET Framework and courses. For instance, this can be done through mounting breakfast meetings, priority conversations or industry forums with CEs and HR managers. Renowned retail experts or speakers will also be invited to speak on new ways and ideas of retailing and retail training.
