Sequoia and MR Training and Jobs Center to Co-Host Cambodia HR Summit 2024 bolstering Cambodia’s Human Capital Development Aspirations
Phnom Penh, Cambodia, August 17, 2024: Following the resounding success of last year’s Leadership for Good Summit, Sequoia Group and MR Training and Jobs Center (MRTJC) are thrilled to announce this pivotal event. Themed “Navigating Talent Management, Succession Planning, and Leadership Development in a Digital Era,” the summit aims to bolster Cambodia’s human capital development.
The summit, held on August 17th at the Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh, was graced by H.E. Hun Many, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Ministry of Civil Service. He provided strategic insights into human capital development and emphasized the critical need for talent cultivation to fuel Cambodia’s economic growth in the years ahead.
This gathering brought together executive leaders, HR professionals, and industry thought leaders for a day of dynamic discussions and action-learning workshops centered on practical strategies for talent and leadership development, as well as succession planning.
The timing of this summit is particularly significant as Cambodia advances its digital transformation. In an age of rapid technological change, new industries, sectors, and opportunities are emerging. The future of work requires a new set of cognitive, people, technological, and management skills. Equipping the Cambodian workforce with these skills to navigate this landscape is imperative for the nation to build a dynamic and resilient workforce, expand economic opportunity, and transform Cambodia into a high-income country in the next twenty-five years in line with the Royal Government’s Cambodia Vision 2050.
The summit’s comprehensive agenda featured a panel discussion titled “Uncovering the Essential Competencies for Tomorrow's Business Landscape: Developing the Future Leader,” with contributions from Neak Oknha Sear Rithy, Chairman of Worldbridge Group of Companies, Jacqueline Wong, Founder and Managing Director of Sequoia Group, Singapore and Jimmy Ong, Managing Partner of Nucleus Advisory from Malaysia.
Further enriching the summit were keynote speeches on promoting human capital development as the cornerstone of sustainable growth and the critical importance of talent management. Presentations on talent management trends and the unique challenges and opportunities within the APAC region were also offered.
Interactive workshops on fostering an engaging leadership culture and facilitating impactful talent conversations at the board level allowed attendees to dive deeper into the challenges faced by HR leaders and explore how they can assume a more strategic role within their organizations to facilitate leadership development and succession planning.
Post-summit, four specialized masterclasses on people, talent, leadership, and organization development provided leaders with the in-depth knowledge, tools, and processes to strengthen their strategies for business and people transformation.
The summit also featured the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Sequoia Group and MR Training and Jobs Center (MRTJC). This MoU outlines collaboration in five key areas: People and Talent Development, Leadership and Organization Development, Sustainability, Communities of Practice (CoP) for HR Professionals, and Knowledge Co-Creation in areas of mutual interest. This MoU will solidify the shared dedication to fulfilling the human capital development needs of both the public and private sectors.
The Cambodia HR Summit took place on August 17th, from 8am to 5pm at Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh.
