Life Financial Discusses Asian HR Agenda
Atlanta, April 4, 2005 – Sun Life
Financial in Asia has made great strides toward aligning its most valuable
commodity-talented and dedicated employees-to its business agenda and
strategy, according to Keith Tucker, vice president of human resources,
Sun Life Financial (Asia).
Tucker says human capital needs to be used
adroitly and for competitive advantage. In an article in LOMA's Resource
magazine, Tucker said it is essential that insurance and financial
services companies "build and maintain world-class practices in human
resources planning, recruitment, performance management, training and
development, rewards and recognition, employee relations, and retention.
Most importantly, HR must also focus on organization renewal, resource
utilization and effective deployment of staff."
Human Resources needs to be capable of
driving both a change agenda and a growth agenda, Tucker added, and
described how LOMA worked with Sun Life Financial (Asia) in a project to
verify job families and roles, and then mapped LOMA training programs into
each of the roles. Read the entire article on the LOMA Web site at http://www.loma.org/IndexPage-Resource.asp.
Tucker said the vision of Sun Life
Financial in Asia is to be an organization where employees are a primary
market differentiator; where all employees are aligned to its goals; where
people know how their individual efforts contribute to business growth and
the organization's strategies; where people are valued because of their
competence; and where they feel they can develop their skills and grow
their careers.
