About The Course
The way in which generational cohorts behave at the workplace and perceive engagement may differ in many aspects. Millennials are best positioned to provide insights into how millennial employees are recruited and how they should be engaged in the workplace. In the context of a human resources related issue proposed by a client organisation (e.g., Millennial talent management and engagement, Employer branding and recruitment), participants from Singapore and Indonesia are to collaborate with each other to present proposals to the client organisation. These issues are reflective of human resources challenges faced by organisations today. By the end of the course, students will be able to do identify relevant theories in talent management with a focus on millennial engagement and recruitment, understand cultural principles and processes working in a cross-border setting and develop effective skills to present proposals to respond to the needs of the client organisation.
Reflection
Participating in the SMU-XO course in Bandung, Indonesia as a non-HR student was an eye-opening experience that expanded my perspective on workplace dynamics. By working on real-world HR issues with the client, I was able to see and understand firsthand the challenges and strategies in talent management and employer branding, which are crucial across various industries. It was intriguing to view through the lens of an employer because often we are more familiar with what would concern an employee. Furthermore, collaborating with our friends from Bandung Institute of Technology has taught me the importance of cultural sensitivity and effective communication. The course has been a comprehensive learning journey that equipped me with a deeper appreciation for HR practices and their impact on organisational success, preparing me to handle diverse professional challenges in the future.
