EMPLOYMENT LAW HRM CONGRESS HIGHLIGHT
HRM Asia’s Ninth Annual
Employment Law and Compliance
Asia Congress was held in Singapore
last month, with over 80 attendees
participating!
Shining the spotlight on 15
jurisdictions across top emerging
markets in Asia, this flagship event was
the practical guide for in-house legal
counsels and HR leaders to effectively
navigate the regulatory and cultural
complexities of multi-jurisdictional
transactions across the region.
This was the only Asia-Pacific focused
conference with a line-up of top-tier
employment lawyers speakers from each
of the jurisdictions being discussed.

involvement, including a two-hour
country-specific legal clinic.
Participants were able to have one-
on-one consultations with specialist
employment lawyers to discuss their
specific employment challenges.
Complemented with practical
case studies, this allowed them to
keep abreast of topical up-to-date
employment risks, as well as the latest
developments and legal updates.
Another highlight was a timely,
panel discussion featuring premier
legal experts from across five top
emerging markets in Asia: India, the
Philippines, China, Vietnam, and
Indonesia. These pre-eminent legal
minds exchanged views on the best
practices required to break through
the legal barriers to talent mobility in
each respective country.
Over 80 high-level delegates attended
the event, primarily from Singapore
(90%) but also from Malaysia, China,
Hong Kong and the US.
They heard expert advice on crucial
employment-related issues, such as:
• Recruiting, selecting, hiring and
induction
• The employment contract
• Benefits, retirement and related tax
issues
• Dismissal, termination and
redundancy
• Expatriates and foreign workers
