Joseph Wong of TRAININGGEARASIA PTE LTD wins Executive of the Year - Talent Development and Engagement

His team pioneered the concept of career conversations.

Singapore Business Review lauded the most exceptional business leaders in Singapore at the recently concluded Management Excellence Awards.

Now on its third year, the Management Excellence Awards recognises exemplary top-level management executives whose initiatives have brought tangible business gains for their company’s operations.

Joseph received Executive of the Year under the talent development and engagement category for his strong leadership of TRAININGGEARASIA PTE LTD. After pioneering the concept of career conversations in 2011, Joseph’s team also introduced a paradigm shift in viewing talent engagement - one that is not limited to growing and retaining talent but also ensuring their return so that businesses are able to move forward with the help of their best human resources. Joseph received the award at the gala dinner held on December 6 at Conrad Centennial Singapore.

This year’s winners were judged by Henry Tan, managing director at NEXIA TS; Jeff Watts, managing director SEA Consulting Asia Pacific Consulting Leader at Deloitte; Lim Wei Wei, partner at Baker Tilly TFW; Foo Yuet Min, director for dispute resolution at Drew & Napier; and Azman Jaafar, deputy managing director for RHTLaw Taylor Wessing LLP.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
