Recruit Strategy Journey to the East.

With the impeding stringent regulation in foreign labour, the past advantage of labour abundance is apparently close to an end with ongoing economic restructuring and adjustment, Singapore must consider new workforce policy to promote productivity and enhance the quality of workforce thru organization based training and developing activities to create new impetus for workforce.

Apparently, China’s economy is at Lewisian turning point (LTP) where the advantages of the quantity of workforce weakens while wages and associated cost of labor increase. The key competitiveness of an economy is in its workforce that engaged in the economic growth-related activities (Judy and D’Amico, 1997)  and before the take off, industries are expected to be moving back to advanced economies such as Singapore & USA.

With reports from an article from Yahoo News on the 5 Jul 2011, as per warned by labour leader Ong Ye Kung that Singapore is likely to face a labour shortage as a result of dwindling manpower supply from major suppliers such as China.

Speaking at a conference organised by Human Capital Singapore, the deputy secretary-general of the National Trades Union Congress explained that major manpower suppliers are holding on to their workers as they battle their own labour crunch.

As wages rise in China for instance, industries are moving back to advanced economies like Singapore, driving up demand for workers here, he said.

“We are, therefore, likely to be at a turning point of history, from labour glut to labour crunch.”

“This presents a whole new challenge to industries in the medium term — how to find enough workers and continue to remain competitive?”

Ong added that many economists believe a slowdown in cheap labour supply is on the cards, and that it will lead to a reprieve from current problems due to the influx of such labour, reported The Straits Times.

He noted that while low-cost foreign workers have helped reduce business costs, they have also added downward pressure on wages in labour-importing countries, including Singapore. Those that did not let foreign labour in also suffered higher unemployment and lower wages as industries moved abroad for cheaper labour.

Citing figures in a recent Financial Times report that showed stagnating or falling wages for workers at the bottom and in the middle in developed countries, Ong noted that real wages have been rising in Singapore. Increases for the bottom 10-20 percent, on the other hand, have been modest.

But a labour crunch would also pose challenges to employers, he told the 300 business leaders and HR practitioners at the conference.

To tackle them, Ong suggested companies raise productivity through technology, invest in skills upgrading, and motivate workers by sharing with them the rewards of productivity gains. Employers were also urged to be flexible and open in hiring new workers.

Noting that while some job seekers can be picky, he said the labour movement has also seen many who are open to lower-paying jobs in different industries.

“As manpower becomes scarcer, it would make sense for the HR community to take a hard look at its systems and processes to ensure it is open and flexible, so as to consider every willing and able candidate for every position,” he said.

Under the Employment Agencies Act, all Key Appointment Holders (KAHs) from Comprehensive Licence Employment Agencies (EAs), who were registered before 30 June 2011, are required to attain the Certificate of Employment Intermediaries (CEI) by 31 March 2012. These KAHs will have until 31 Mar 2012 to attain CEI, failing which the KAH will be de-registered and disallowed from performing EA work. The CEI aims to equip EA personnel with the necessary knowledge of relevant legislation and regulations. This ensures that EAs understand the law and their obligations, thereby raising their professional knowledge and service to their clients.

Often the “right” person is in the mind of the Chairman but it is altogether a different matter to put the concept down in writing. What about having a clearly defined and sufficiently detailed job description for the role of the CEO ?

The practical issue: Is it really useful to have one? To some extent the answer will be no, for it is by far more difficult to confine these within an employment contract, what in reality is an extensively wide role of a CEO ?

Thank you very much for attending me today.

I am interested to apply for internships in Singapore and shall abide with the Republic of Singapore’s policy.

I will describe you as detailed as I can what I’m searching for next semester.

I’m a last year master student (2 year duration) from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), studying a MSc in Engineering Management. I applied for exchange to Singapore as it is the “Mecca” of Management and Business in Asia, which is an emergent market. That is the reason why I applied for NTU, it was offering courses oriented in my area of interest: project management, product innovation and supply chain.

My bachelor is completely different. I’ve got a BSc in Aeronautical Engineering, specialized in Air Navigation Systems from the Politechnical University of Catalonia (UPC Barcelona, Spain).

That means that I will or I should end up obtaining technical and the management skills, having a completely view of what is going on. It is important to understand the organisation bottom-up rather then top-down.

Good career starts from doing good in every career that is what I believe in.  Having to write my master thesis, mandatory at my university. I would rather do it within a company because you start gaining knowledge and see how the real life works.

That means that from start-mid january or as soon as possible I would like to begin my Master Thesis within a company who completes my areas of request. The sector is not a priority, but if I got the change the opportunity to choose I would like it to be related to Aerospace, Wind Energy, Construction, Product Development or Change Managment.

I hope you can help me with my problem so I could finally do my Master Thesis in Singapore. It would mean so much for me personally and also to the CV. Moreover, it could be a small step to end up working in Singapore for some years. As you said, Singapore is looking for foreign people to provide innovative inputs.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Yours Sincerely,

Rasmus Stauning Agerskov

MSc Engineering Management – Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
