DREAM. BELIEVE. ACHIEVE

This week, our panellists share their thoughts on how we can create a culture of learning and growth among PMEs in Singapore. Hear their take on what it takes to groom tomorrow’s leaders.

Joreis Ong, Service Relationships Manager

One way that we can encourage learning and development of PMEs is through in-depth profiling and analysis of the PMEs’ skills and experience. This would provide a more meaningful and targeted training that can be applied to PMEs for them to remain competitive and relevant in their jobs.

Muhd Fuadi Bin Rahmat, Lecturer

We can provide attractive incentives such as having a wider recognition of PMEs who have attended or successfully completed courses, as providing recognition is closely linked to productivity. Introducing more ambassadors who advocate PME learning and development can spur on other PMEs to increase their participation and engagement too.

Sharon Cheng, Legal Counsel

I feel that some of the current programmes are modelled against what was needed in the past, and may not be aligned with the needs of the current and future workforce. These programmes may have to be extensively reviewed, or even overhauled.

Lim Tze Qi, Human Resource

We can do so by encouraging more sign-ups to associations or alumni groups, as these platforms will keep PMEs updated on the events or outings organized specially for them. Furthermore, it will be helpful if these events such as the Future Leaders Summit are publicized on social media channels such as Facebook or Instagram, so that interested PMEs can share them with likeminded peers.
