Amidst the revival of the world’s economy, Asia's role as an economic powerhouse is becoming more apparent than ever. Despite its growth, the continent faces many challenges, with the management of human capital as one of the chief concerns amongst Asian economies. On 29 - 30 September, the Singapore Human Capital Summit 2010 (SHCS) will be held to tackle the issue on a global platform for the third time since its commencement in 2008.

Co-organised by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), the summit will boast a stellar lineup of thinkers in the field of human capital, from business leaders to practitioners and experts. The speakers will share best practices in dealing with Human Capital management in organisations, present new insights and research that explore the latest trends.

"The summit will give Asia business leaders a global perspective, while taking into account Asia's unique challenges, including leadership and succession and the impact globalisation has on the workforce make-up and capability. This exchange will empower Asian companies and organisations to ride the wave of recovery and growth for business sustainability and profitability," said Loh Khum Yean, Permanent Secretary of MOM.
