Rounding Up: Top HR Reads of 2018

Every Friday, I share my Top Reads of the Week. In it, I round up a few of the best articles and a video regarding a trending topic for that week.

As the year comes to an end, what better way to close than round up the highlights of the year?

HERE WERE SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR TOP READS IN 2018:

1. Engagement, Millennials and Generation Z
2. Onboarding, Retention and Productivity
3. Trust is good. Control is better? How to measure, build and rebuild trust
4. Job Skills for the Future
5. Top Reads of the Week: World Cup Edition
6. How to Excel in Uncomfortable Situations

Beyond this list, a lot of content regarding artificial intelligence and the digitalisation of HR, millennials (attracting them, employee experience, retention) and the workplace of the future (skills, increased flexibility and diversity of demographic) was also produced.

Conversely, over the past year, we published some great content written by our own recruitment and intercultural training experts on the blog. They dished out advice and tips regarding their area of expertise. They have had years of experience in their fields and I compiled a list of these articles for you to read easily.

ARTICLES WRITTEN BY OUR TEAM OF RECRUITMENT & TRAINING EXPERTS IN 2018:

I started the year by writing about 2018 HR trends for APAC and Singapore. You might have found it helpful as a HR professional operating in the Asia Pacific region (or specifically, Singapore). I also wrote another for 2019 here.

Laura from the intercultural management team wrote about 6 Things to Know About Working in Singapore.

Deepthi from the recruitment team also shared about Diwali / Deepavali – A festival close to (her) heart. Our recruitment team also shared 5 Tips for Recruiting in Southeast Asia.

As we move forward to 2019, we expect those HR trends to remain. No one can truly predict the future, but reading others’ predictions might lend some insight into the future.

LOOKING INTO THE CRYSTAL BALL OF HR IN 2019:
