AI Won't Replace Human Capital in Next 10 Years; Food Improves Talent Retention
 |
According to a survey conducted by Swingvy, 43% of employees frequently think about quitting, and 48% are currently unhappy with their job. "We co-founded Swingvy because the 'Human Resources' industry sometimes does not focus on the 'human' aspect of things," said Jin Choeh, CEO and Co-Founder of Swingvy.
"Swingvy is first and foremost, a people empowerment platform besides our core business of an all-in-one HR cloud platform, and through creating LIFT, we want to empower communities and inspire positive change across all industries! Whether you are a business owner, thought leader, or aspiring entrepreneur, we believe everyone can learn from each other."
Swingvy's CEO and Co-Founder predicts that human capital is still integral in jobs today, and will still be important for jobs in the future. "AI cannot yet replace human capital, and even if we get to a point where that happens, we see that the human touch is still very much needed.
According to LinkedIn's inaugural global Inside the Mind of Today's Candidate report, 34% of Singaporeans have no intention to stay at their jobs for more than a year. "This could be due to the lack of employee engagement, since we see a third of all employees eating at their desks alone up to 4 times a week," said Adele Grosskopf, Head of Deliveroo for Business.
"Workplace culture actually plays a big role in employee engagement and retention, sometimes even more than just salary. Through Deliveroo for Business, we aim to encourage social eating to increase team bonding, leading to happier and more productive employees."
The Nov 21 half-day conference on also had keynote speakers Lars Voedisch, Managing Director of PRecious Communications, and Ang Kian Peng, Director of Samsui Supplies & Services Pte Ltd. These four keynote speakers were joined by founders from other start-ups as well, in industries such as education, technology, commerce, finance, music and events.
At LIFT's "Challenges Of The Future Workforce and How To Prepare For The Next Recession" session, panellists Tho Kit Hoong, Co-Founder of Swingvy, Kenneth Ho, CEO and Founder of BEAMSTART, Adrian Tan, Regional Leader, Client Solutioning APAC, at PeopleStrong, and Gail Lau, Regional Leader Talent Acquisition Partner for 99.co, discussed the differences between technological advancements and technological empowerment.
Tho also spoke about how jobs in the future could evolve to become decentralised, and catered more to the gig economy. "The world is getting smaller, so virtualisation and shared services is the way to go. Talent should no longer be confined to a country, since in future flexibility will be more important."
In 2020, Swingvy plans to go regional with LIFT, and plans for the conference to lift off in Malaysia in early 2020, and in Taiwan by October 2020.
