ConferenceAgenda
The constantly changing business environment demands for further cultivation of certain skills and competencies to ensure these roles
function strikingly well in fulfilling not only the current business goals but also the potential business markets and products. With
relatively uncertain economic weather, organizations are more or less forced to turn and rely on the backbone of their business that is
the people who drive business despite the challenges associated with business consolidation.
Talent Management, considered vital in such economic atmosphere, serves to rescue and accommodate the organizations’ needs and
expectations to not merely ensure survival, but to optimize the skills and competencies by the best talents in reassuring the business
directions and circumstances. This conference intends to reveal the challenges and potential solutions of Talent Management in challeng-
ing economic atmosphere to further strengthen HR Practitioners and Professionals’ comprehension on how they may assist organizations
in structuring and executing intelligent Talent Management plan.
