Asia Pacific HRM Congress
We are all set for the Asia Pacific HRM Congress scheduled in February 2007. With inputs from so many prominent HR professionals, each of whom brings to the table his/her unique perspective, we believe that the Congress will be a grand success.
The field of HR is in a state of flux, with newer and ever-changing demands and challenges. Thus the HR professional of the new millennium is expected to possess far greater competencies than ever before. The objective of the Congress is to explore future directions for the profession and to have a closer look at ways of successfully developing these competencies.
In 1996, Thomas Stewart, the current editor of Harvard Business Review, wrote an article for Fortune magazine suggesting that HR was bureaucratic and ineffective, and added little to the organization’s success. Thus it should be “blown up” (Stewart, 1996).
Much has transpired since that article was published. The role, responsibility, effectiveness and accountability of the HR function have all changed. Defining HR requirements is not an easy task, given the dynamic rate of change in the workplace. Much needs to be done before we can realize the true potential of the profession. The Asia Pacific HRM Congress has thus felt a big need to debate on the theme ‘The HR Professionals as a Business Manager in the New Millennium.’
It is essential that HR leaders anticipate the future and how such things may value their accountability without the capacity to recognize and accurately plan for changes in the business landscape. Coping strategies can not be proactive - they can only be reactive – at a much higher cost. Foresight will help HR professionals to achieve more. We do hope that the Asia Pacific HRM Congress will help us to reinvent ourselves, so that our contribution is higher to the people we serve, the organization we shape and the societies in which we operate.
