IHRP, SPETA secure partnership to boost human capital in the manufacturing sector

The manufacturing employer handbook was developed to identify strengths and opportunities.

The Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP) has partnered with the Singapore Precision Engineering & Technology Association (SPETA) to enhance human capital processes in manufacturing firms in Singapore.

This collaboration was formalised by signing a Memorandum of Understanding at the Industrial Transformation Asia-Pacific (ITAP) 2023 event on 19 October 19, with Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Alvin Tan, as the Guest-of-Honor.

Under this collaboration, IHRP and SPETA will cooperate to create learning circles aimed at promoting the adoption of the manufacturing employer handbook.

This handbook includes the utilisation of the IHRP Human Capital Diagnostic Tool (HCDT) to assist manufacturing companies in assessing their Human Capital processes, identifying strengths and opportunities, and devising actionable strategies.

Manufacturing roles rank as the fourth most in-demand among employers in Singapore, according to a 2022 ManpowerGroup survey.

The pilot run of the IHRP-SPETA Learning Circles in August 2023 received a positive response and enthusiastic participation from SPETA member companies.

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.
