Keppel Corporation's HR Leader, Meng Hin on ‘Adaptable HR'

The need for organisations to continuously adapt to the external forces cannot be explained better by the above quote by John W. Gardner, the father of campaign finance reform.

To help you through these tough times and accelerate your adaptability quotient, Alight Solutions in partnership with People Matters, recently launched Asia Pacific’s largest study on the State of HR Transformation 2020. As a part of this launch, we bring to you exclusive insights from some leading CHROs on what ‘adaptable’ means to them in today’s context.

Reflecting on the enablers of successful transformation from the Asia Pacific’s largest study on the State of HR Transformation, it was found most of the success comes through when HR is willing to change itself. In fact, resistance to change from HR is the biggest barrier in realising transformation.

In this exclusive interaction, Meng Hin, Director - Group Human Resources, Keppel Corporation reflects on the findings of the study and shares how Keppel is approaching a logical, disciplined, and impactful strategy towards the art of becoming adaptable.

Here are the excerpts from the interview:
