Here are a few of the impactful projects and initiatives I've led throughout my career, each contributing to the success and growth of the organisations I've served.
Global HR Technology Implementation
Led the rollout of HRIS platforms, including SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Taleo, and Greenhouse Recruitment, across multiple regions. Optimized HR operations and reduced manual errors by 50%, while integrating tools like Monday.com, Jira, and Sage Payroll to enhance overall efficiency.
Cross-Border Expansion
Successfully established HR functions in Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, ensuring compliance with local regulations and seamless integration with global standards. The photo on the right showcases the first support employee at our newly established Publicis Sapient Japan office.
Employee Value Proposition (EVP) Development
Spearheaded the creation of award-winning EVPs that enhanced employer branding and attracted top-tier talent across APAC.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
Launched a comprehensive DEI program that increased diverse talent acquisition by 15% and fostered a more inclusive workplace culture. This initiative earned Omnicom Media Group recognition as the "Best Company for Women in Asia."
Succession Planning Strategy
Developed and implemented a succession planning strategy that ensured leadership continuity and supported organisational growth. While I have created multiple frameworks over time, key elements from one of these strategies were showcased at the HR Asia Summit 2018, highlighting their effectiveness and ongoing relevance.
Change Management during Acquisition
Managed the HR transition during the acquisition of two agencies, aligning them with corporate standards and ensuring a smooth integration. With experience in multiple acquisition and merger exercises, I have consistently ensured that transitions are seamless, minimising disruption and maintaining organisational continuity.
National Policy Contribution
Played a key role in the implementation of Singapore's Progressive Wage Model, contributing to national labour policy.
Startup HR Infrastructure Development
Built HR functions from scratch in a fast-paced startup environment, supporting rapid global expansion and scaling the workforce efficiently.
