  • Women Who Inspire: 20 Stories from Across Asia
    WOMEN WHO INSPIRE 20 STORIES FROM ACROSS ASIA A Robert Walters group company MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Learning from others and their experiences is the fastest way to grow and I wish I had a mentor to give me this advice. Carol Hui, Chairman, Robert Walters For over 30 years, Robert Walters has been committed to helping businesses around the globe find the very best talent, and professionals build their careers. In our role, we get to open doors to opportunities, powering people and organisations to fulfil their unique potential. Encouraging greater diversity and inclusion is one way we achieve our purpose and on this International Women’s Day, we hope to further this conversation by celebrating women. When I look back on my own career, I’m proud of putting in the hard work to get to where I am today. However, if I were to do things differently, I would tell my younger self to build my network and find myself role models, mentors and coaches. Learning from others and their experiences is the fastest way to grow and I wish I had a mentor to give me this advice. That is why we’ve compiled stories of 20 women across Greater China and South East Asia who have taken brave and bold steps in their journey towards their own version of success. For some, they define success as dreaming big and overcoming the odds to achieve the seemingly impossible; for others, it is about creating positive impact and finding balance within their myriad roles as a professional, manager, daughter or mother.

  • Is Your Workplace Culturally Fit? Foreword
    SPECIALIST PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT IS YOUR WORKPLACE CULTURALLY FIT? FOREWORD Increasingly, employers say that they place a high priority on ensuring their people are a good cultural fit for their organisation. However, the thorny issue is that “cultural fit” is a subjective term and it’s not always defined in the minds of business leaders, let alone their employees. Cultural fit is not simply finding out whether candidates are likely to “get along” with their colleagues. There’s more to it than that. Hiring managers need to be crystal clear about what their culture is today and what they want their culture to be in the future. Only then can they clarify the values and behaviours they need within their workforce. At Robert Walters we talk to a vast number of hiring managers and candidates every day. Speaking to staff when they join and exit, we see how cultures compare across employers in numerous industries. This whitepaper is an extension of that. We’ve surveyed hiring managers and professionals across Australia and New Zealand to get a snapshot of how well employers are currently assessing cultural fit, and the factors that lead to cultural success or failure. I hope you find it valuable. James Nicholson Managing Director – ANZ, Robert Walters METHODOLOGY This whitepaper is based on the findings of research undertaken in September 2016 by Robert Walters, surveying more than 950 hiring managers and more than 1,800 professionals across Australia and New Zealand. For the purpose of this whitepaper: n Workplace culture is a system identified and implemented by organisations, based upon shared assumptions, values, and beliefs, which governs how people behave in organisations.

  • Burning the Candle: Strategies to Prevent Workplace Burnout
    BURNING THE CANDLE: STRATEGIES TO COMBAT WORKPLACE BURNOUT A Robert Walters Group Company BURNING THE CANDLE: STRATEGIES TO COMBAT WORKPLACE BURNOUT The “hustle” is glorified everywhere we look in the United States, from “rise and grind” slogan coffee mugs to LinkedIn life coaches who brag about their 4AM wake-up and subsequent power gym session in the name of productivity. According to this lifestyle, the more suffering you can endure, the more success you will achieve. What these life coaches don’t tell you is that often, this kind of sacrifice and unrealistic demands often leads to workplace burnout, now an official medical diagnosis. With the state of the world in pandemic, the risk for workplace burnout has risen significantly. Concerns about health, job security, childcare, and isolation aggravate the already existing issue of burnout at work. We surveyed employees and managers and interviewed leaders within the tech space to bring you our best strategies for preventing and combatting workplace burnout. ABOUT ROBERT WALTERS We partner with market leading enterprises, high-growth startups and dynamic financial services firms to help them hire the very best executives, functional leaders and emerging talent across the following sectors: ■ Accounting, Finance & Operations ■ Marketing, Business Development & Sales ■ Product Management & Data Science ■ Legal & Compliance ■ Design ■ Software Engineering ■ HR & Talent ■ Risk Management BURNING THE CANDLE: STRATEGIES TO COMBAT WORKPLACE BURNOUT 2 CONTENTS ■ Key statistics ■ Introduction

  • Diverse Hiring: Practice Beyond Theory a Robert Walters Recruitment Guide
    DIVERSE HIRING: PRACTICE BEYOND THEORY A ROBERT WALTERS RECRUITMENT GUIDE A Robert Walters Group Company A Robert Walters Guide | 1 Introduction Diversity and inclusion are not interchangeable terms. Diversity within an organization without inclusion is just many different people in the same place at the same time with no engagement or connection. Most of us will know that diverse hiring is hiring with special care to ensure procedures (like hiring) are free from biases related to a candidate’s culture, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, physical cognitive ability, veteran status, or any other difference seen or unseen that makes each of us unique. A diverse organization that is also inclusive is continually seeking ways to ensure all team members’ opinions are heard, that their unique perspectives are valued, and that they belong to one cohesive unit. Everyone has unique characteristics that set them apart from the crowd, but not everyone has to deal with exclusion or discrimination. Furthermore, individuals themselves are not “diverse”. By labeling an individual “diverse”, you are, as a result, implying that a “default” or “norm” exists as a dominant identity. Diversity instead must be looked at as something that can only exist relationally within a group. A diverse group will be composed of people from many different backgrounds. A diverse and inclusive group can achieve equity by recognizing that some underrepresented groups have to overcome more barriers and have less access to opportunities than more dominant groups. A company must actively seek out ways to reduce barriers in order to create an even playing field for all potential candidates or current team members.

Have they created a total solution that has successfully enhanced employee productivity, engagement and performance? Companies are also having to manage the expectations of a more diverse workforce, while at the same time clearly communicating their culture and values.
