We are very pleased to continuing support and sponsor the “HKIHRM Pay Trend & Benefits Seminar” this year on 20th Oct.  The “Pay Trend Survey Results Highlights” section is still the spotlight of the whole event.  Surprisingly, the results have shown that the “Banking & Financial Services” sector was only at the 2nd highest annual base pay adjustment (4.5%) in 2022, while “Telecommunication, Multi-media & Technology” sector has largely exceeded it to the top at (9.8%).  The positive average annual base pay adjustment is continually projected to 2023 at (3.6%).

The seminar has also covered the “Great Resignation” and “Labour Shortage”  challenges with solutions to retaining talents and sourcing alternative talent pools.   The recent rising trend of “Lying Flat” and “Quiet Quitting” are quietly affecting the current employee engagement at work where we must pay more attention to.

The hybrid mode of HKiHRM Annual Conference & Exhibition was successfully kicked off on 7 Sept.  COL has joined the one day physical conference to support HKiHRM 45th anniversary and get a chance meeting with HR Professionals in-person.   But that’s not the end, various insightful webinar sessions have been arranged throughout September to continue equipping HR.

The HR Excellence Award Ceremony 2021/2022 is also part of the event to recognize the winning practitioners and companies who had achieved success through outstanding people strategies and practices.  This has aroused our memories at the time we attained the “Excellent HR Information System Provider Award” in 2014.  Our commitments in service quality and customer success always come first with no compromise. 

What a successful face-to-face seminar organized by HR Magazine last Friday, which is the first HR event we’ve co-joined with our partner “Cornerstone OnDemand” this year.  Keynote speakers had given various valuable insights on cultivating tomorrow’s talent.  Future HR must be data driven, stay up-to-date and be a company’s brand;  able to drive personalized learning journeys in the organization gradually in 3 stages, EXCITE -> ENGAGE -> EMBED.

We and all participants enjoyed this interactive event with fruitful information, delicious meal, lucky draw and champagne networking to end up the Happy Friday.

Despite the Omicron outbreak, COL and Kagile had successfully co-organized a webinar  “Workforce x Workplace Transformation - Turning Challenges into Opportunities” in March.  Speakers shared the latest HR and Digital Workplace trends, and introduced how AI-enabled technologies drive self-driven employee and business partner growth.  ESG topics were also covered in relation to HR and Workplace.
