Having organised this conference across Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, one thing has become quite clear - when it comes to compensation and benefits programmes, organisations throughout Asia Pacific are keen on creative yet cost-effective solutions.

To spark discussions on this topic, Employee Benefits Asia 2016, Malaysia was produced by Human Resources' Evon Yew, as a two-day conference held on August 17-18 at Kuala Lumpur's Connexion@Nexus.

The conference was inaugurated by Christopher Ong, managing director, DHL Express, Malaysia and Brunei, who also drives DHL’s Six Sigma and GOGREEN corporate programmes. His keynote was a tale on crafting an effective total rewards strategy that drives business excellence.

Following him was Hash Piperdy, chief executive officer, Mercer Malaysia, who comes with 20 years of international consulting experience, in the UK, Europe and Asia, having advised organisations around HR transformation and M&A integration projects.

The concluding session for the conference saw Mooi Fung Farm, HR director, Shell on stage. Having been with Shell for 19 years, she started her career in business before moving to HR, and has since managed sizable teams across downstream, the service centre and upstream.

Her case study focused on career development - how to identify strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats for your talented employees.

With that, a memorable couple of days came to an end, as the delegates took time to fill in their feedback via a newly-introduced online form.
