Ace Your Appraisal: Proven Tips for Success
27 February 2024 Performance appraisal is a crucial process in any organization, serving as a systematic evaluation of an employee's job performance and contribution to the company's goals. It provides valuable insights into areas of strength and areas needing improvement, facilitating constructive feedback and goal setting for professional development. By fostering accountability and recognizing achievements, performance appraisal plays a vital role in enhancing employee engagement and organizational success.Question: I have a performance appraisal session coming up with my manager. What should I do to prepare for it in order to get a good review? Also, how should I do a self-appraisal that puts me in a good light?Feeling anxious about appraisals is normal. While nerve-wracking, performance appraisals are an essential part of the productivity management process to help organizations and individuals excel. The main goals of appraisals are to help organizations: Assess, communicate, and improve employees’ performance and identify areas to improve to ensure their development is in line with organizational objectives. Create a transparent and constructive feedback loop by facilitating open dialogue between employees and leaders. At the end of the day, appraisals are meant to help both organizations and employees excel. To make the most out of your review with your manager, it is important to approach the session with a positive and open mindset. View it “as an opportunity for both personal and professional growth rather than mere criticism,” advises Ms.Thikhamporn Khamkaen, Associate Director of Professional Perm,ManpowerGroup ThailandLikewise, managers conducting the performance appraisal should also keep in mind that reviews are not meant to be a one-sided affair, but a mutually consultative feedback session where both employers and employees can bring up issues important to them. The (Not So) Secret Ingredient to Acing Your AppraisalPreparation is essential for a productive appraisal session. Prior to your review, allocate sufficient time, at least one to two weeks, to reflect on your accomplishments for the year, the challenges faced and areas for improvement. However, as most appraisals are done annually, it is always good to regularly record your work progress and achievements to avoid missing anything, says Mr Loan Cao, Operations Manager, Staffing Outsourcing & HR Consulting Services, ManpowerGroup Vietnam, who recommends doing this weekly or monthly. Tips for Preparing for The Performance Review 1. Conduct a Self-Assessment: Reflect on your performance for the year and evaluate what you have done well, areas that you found challenging and needed more support as well as your goals for the coming year. Prepare information that supports your points, including quantifiable metrics and examples so that you will come across as being more objective. Some questions you can ask to help you get started:What are my key accomplishments and contributions since the last assessment period?What specific skills or competencies have I developed or improved upon?What challenges or obstacles have I encountered, and how did I address them?How have I contributed to team projects or collaborations?What are my career aspirations, and how can I align my current efforts with my long-term goals?What are some of the supports I would like to receive from my manager that I think will help me grow? Need help planning a career map? Click here for tips.2. Don’t Point Fingers: While you are encouraged to provide feedback and share about your challenges, it is important to not turn it into a complain session or point fingers at others for your performance shortfalls. “Avoid going in with the view that ‘I am right, and he is wrong’, otherwise such appraisals would be counterproductive and not helpful to anyone,” advises Mr. Rohit Chattree, Operations Director for Manpower Singapore. Doing so may convey that you lack professionalism and accountability, even if some of your claims may be valid. It may also indicate that you are not receptive to feedback, which can be a red flag for managers. 3. Focus on the Next: Employees should adopt a forward-looking mentality during employee evaluations. “Focus on what is next and what contributions you can make for the projects that are ahead of you” instead of lingering on past achievements, advises Mr. Chattree. If you feel that you did not perform well for the year, take accountability for it, and proactively come up with a plan to address performance issues and how you plan to achieve your goals. The key is to show that you’re receptive to your manager’s feedback and seek to improve. It also helps if you highlight the support you need during the session so that your manager is aware and has a clearer idea of how to help you excel and grow. As you prepare for your performance review, keep in mind that it's not just a review of past achievements, but an opportunity for growth and development. Here's to your success in your next performance appraisal!

The Heart of Sustainability: Prioritizing People in the Green Revolution
14 February 2024 Chances are, if I were to ask you to close your eyes and picture a green job, images of majestic wind turbines, solar farms, or electric vehicles (EV) may come to mind. Undoubtedly, glossy marketing around business sustainability often invokes those stereotypical images.However, our latest ManpowerGroup Global Insights white paper, “Building Competitive Advantage with A People-First Green Business Transformation,” finds that the coming wave of over 30 million projected new green jobs globally in the next decade will encompass far more than renewables and EVs.While those industries are certainly part of the picture, many existing roles will evolve to become sustainable and entirely new careers that either currently don’t exist or are in their infancy will also emerge. For example, consider a carpenter constructing with eco-friendly materials, or an “edible design engineer” creating biodegradable packaging that leaves no waste when consumed.As sustainability transforms businesses large and small, people and talent will remain at the heart of this shift more than any single technology. With reskilling and redevelopment, workers in diverse occupations will form the backbone of green progress and innovation for years to come. The human element powers the technology, not the other way around.So rather than getting distracted by visions of turbines or solar panels, the most crucial component underpinning the acceleration to net-zero is us. Because, at the core of any successful business transformation lies the indispensable involvement of people. Individuals driving change, steering strategy, and propelling the future through their skills and labor each day. The People Powering the Green FutureThe green transition is no longer a vision of the future; it's unfolding right before our eyes. Already, 70% of employers say they are currently or actively planning to recruit green talent. Yet, despite the demand, only 1 in 8 workers (15%) currently have more than one green skill. This exponential shortage leaves companies urgently competing for the few skilled candidates that exist. At the same time, employers cited finding qualified candidates (44%), creating effective reskilling programs (39%), and identifying transferable skills (36%) as the top barriers to execute green transitions.Excitement about the green future is coupled with genuine concerns; worries about roles becoming obsolete, fears of being left behind without acquiring new technical skills quickly. Even amongst the more optimistic group, unease lingers. Our research found 70 of white-collar workers say they are ready to embrace the green transition, compared to 57% of their blue-collar peers. While more than half sounds optimistic, this enthusiasm gap shows nearly half have concerns, which could severely slow sustainability initiatives.It's important to not ignore the voices and concerns of frontline and blue-collar workers who feel deeply apprehensive about how these seismic job changes may undermine their job security and livelihoods. Without proper communication, change management and inclusion from the outset, lack of understanding risks disengagement or lack of buy-in from the very people needed to make this transition succeed. But done right, with people put first, the green revolution represents a phenomenal opportunity for upskilling, talent retention, and attraction for people in every industry and sector. This potential for growth spans both white and blue-collar roles across various functions. Bringing People Along for the JourneyLeading companies recognize that recruiting alone won't solve the challenges in a tight talent market. Instead, they are investing heavily in customized pre-, re-, and upskilling programs. These initiatives not only show employees how their roles will evolve but also illuminate the new green responsibilities they'll take on, presenting exciting career development opportunities on the horizon while building competencies internally. From automotive technicians needing updated diagnostics capabilities for electric vehicle issues to electrical engineers requiring rapid reskilling on leading battery storage system design and safety practices. For factory workers and operators, cross-training on end-to-end cell manufacturing best practices is essential as global production scales exponentially to meet demand. Getting this transformation wrong, by neglecting to invest in the existing workforce, risks high turnover and an inability to adopt new green technology rapidly enough to meet customer and regulatory pressures. Conversely, companies embracing transparency and upskilling inclusively position themselves for optimal retention, productivity, innovation, and market share. The Vital Role of Perception & MessagingAuthentic messaging is pivotal during times of uncertainty and change. Clear communication of evolving sustainability commitments and visible environmental actions positively influences 60% of candidates in their job considerations. This approach particularly resonates with purpose-driven talent, as 66% of Gen Z and 64% of Millennials believe sustainability efforts will enhance their work. However, perception gaps exist between how committed employees think their company’s leadership is to be going green versus the bold net-zero targets set. This discrepancy underscores the absolute imperative of authenticity in showcasing sustainability progress. Powering the Future TogetherGovernment, investors, consumers, academia, and businesses all play complementary roles in enabling an equitable and responsible transition for workers. Essential to this is smart labor policy funding for transferable skills training for displaced roles. Companies leading the green charge must make comprehensive reskilling accessible across all demographic groups. Most critically, every employer needs to bring their people along by communicating with empathy, upskilling inclusively, and putting talent first every step of the way. Because at its heart, powering the future green economy reliably relies on empowering the people who make it possible. The future of business – and our planet – depends on getting this transition right.

8 Recruiting Challenges And How to Overcome Them
26 January 2024 Recruiting challenges are becoming increasingly prevalent for many aspects of an organization. Finding the right candidate while adapting to leaner teams and a leaner budget—but with the same anticipated result, presents certain hiring obstacles. In this article, we’ll dive into the common challenges of recruiting and offer tips on how to overcome them. 8 Recruiting Challenges and Their Solutions 1. Attracting Suitable Candidates In the pool of applicants, identifying the ideal talent remains a daunting task. Undoubtedly, when there is a limited time and budget, we tend to pick the best candidates available, but they might not be the best fit for the job. Solution: Write job descriptions with clear and detailed requirements on your application ads, and employ application forms with specific questions to filter out unsuitable candidates. 2. Engaging Top Talents In an increasingly competitive market, top candidates are regularly contacted by recruiters and businesses.. In addition, candidates with hard-to-find skills are often considering several job offers from big companies at the same time. This makes attracting and placing these candidates for open positions even more difficult. To address this hiring challenge, you have to put in further effort to persuade passive candidates to select your organization over others. Solution: Prior to contacting these candidates, it’s wise to tailor your communication based on the candidate's motivations and job satisfaction factors, making your recruitment email more appealing than your competitors. 3. Accelerating the Hiring Process Undoubtedly, the hiring team and HR in your organization need to recruit fast —a vacant position can be costly and delay operations. Further, depending on your industry, the recruitment process could take several months, and more often than not, it can be a challenge to reach an agreement with the candidates. Solution: Streamline your hiring stages and enhance communication within the team. Utilize recruiting metrics to identify bottlenecks and optimize your process. Understandably, some roles take longer to fill; set realistic timelines and manage expectations accordingly. 4. Utilize Data-Driven Recruitment The use of data in recruitment can significantly improve the hiring process and lead to more informed decision-making. spreadsheets are the conventional way to keep track of this data. However, they require manual and are prone to human error, making it a challenge to track data accurately. Solution: To best utilize a data-driven approach, systems like an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) are recommended. Implement a user-friendly platform to track and analyze data efficiently while setting key metrics that align with your organization’s goals. 5. Establish a Strong Employer Brand A well-made employer brand is pivotal in attracting high-caliber candidates. Companies with positive images are likely to draw quality talents This is still an intricate process that includes branding, marketing, promoting your company culture on social media, and ensuring a positive candidate experience. Solution: Respond actively to online reviews and questions, especially on any active hiring posts. Encourage your team to share their experiences working with the company and what the culture is like. Additionally, it’s a good idea to invest in employer branding to showcase your company as an attractive workplace. 6. Optimizing the Candidate Experience A candidate’s experience with the recruitment process is an essential factor when they are evaluating your job offer. Every detail, from your ads to the interviews, contributes to the quality of the candidate’s experience. But bear in mind that not every aspect of the process can be effectively controlled, making it one of the major recruiting challenges. Solution: Maintain clear communication throughout the process, and inform your candidates of what they can expect and when they will hear from you. On top of that, be sure to coordinate with the candidate when setting up interviews. Provide them with all the necessary information, explain the objective of the interview, and what the next steps are. 7. Ensuring Fair Recruitment Practices We live in an era when diversity and inclusion are among the main concerns of modern businesses. Many companies struggle to hire diverse talents, and unconscious biases are the common explanation. Apart from legal obligations to provide candidates with equal opportunities, hiring with objective reasoning can help you discover the best candidates for the role without unintentionally putting them in stereotypes. Solution: Implement an unbiased hiring procedure, such as structured interviews. Or opt for assistance from an expert recruitment agency able to identify the best candidate to fill vacant positions. 8. Streamlining the Recruitment Process HR and recruiters are tasked with coordinating every necessary detail, from candidate evaluations to handling administrative tasks and coordinating communication with different teams in the organization. These tasks distract HR from concentrating on the hiring process and ensuring the best possible experience for candidates. Solution: Consider structuring clear recruitment steps from the start to the end of the process. Also, it is a good idea to implement a system or software to help facilitate coordination, especially for administrative tasks like premade email templates, calendar integrations, and automatic reminders. All of these steps allow HR and recruiters to address other recruitment challenges and concentrate on the more strategic aspects of hiring. Recruiting challenges are ever-present, yet with the right strategies, assistance, and tools, issues can be effectively addressed. By mastering existing challenges and future obstacles, your company can establish a more efficient, inclusive, and successful recruitment process.

Recognizing The Fundamentals of Thailand’s Employment Law
12 December 2023 Whether you are considering working in Thailand or are already immersed in its business landscape, understanding the fundamentals of Thailand's Employment Law is crucial. It provides a framework that balances the interests of employees and employers, ensuring a fair workplace environment. In this article, we have included essential information about Thai labor law that employees and employers should know. Types of employment contracts in Thailand In Thailand, employment contracts are primarily categorized into fixed-term and permanent contracts, both written and verbal. Fixed-term contracts are typically used for specific projects or a predetermined period, whereas permanent contracts are for ongoing employment without a set end date. These contracts serve to protect employees and employers from potential legal disputes. The absence of a well-defined contract frequently results in court decisions favoring the employee. For employers, it's advisable to steer clear of generic contract templates, as they often lack specific in-country requirements. Under Thailand Employment Law, the contract must include basic parameters, such as: The role and responsibilities of an employee Benefits Compensation expectations Termination requirements Work Hours and Overtime Compensation The standard workweek in Thailand is typically forty-eight hours per week or eight hours a day, with regulations in place to govern overtime work. On top of that, employees are entitled to a minimum of one hour break after working for five consecutive hours. Overtime compensation is a legal requirement of Thai labor law and is calculated at a higher rate than regular pay. Any extra hours are typically compensated at 150% of the employee’s hourly rate, and any additional overtime during holidays is calculated at 300% of the hourly rate. Public Holidays and Leaves Thai Labour Law states employees have the right to at least thirteen public holidays. Additionally, the country's law outlines various types of leaves, including: 1.Sick leaveEmployees are eligible for sick leave. If the sick leave lasts longer than three days, the employer can request a medical certificate. Employees are permitted up to thirty days of sick leave per year. 2.Maternity leaveExpectant mothers are entitled to ninety-eight days of maternity leave, including holidays and time for prenatal care. They are eligible for 45 days of their regular salary during this period. 3.Paternity leaveThose who work in the public sector can take up to fifteen paid leave within thirty days after the child’s birth. In the private sector, paternity leave is not mandated, but employers may offer paid or unpaid leave. 4.Military service leaveMale employees are entitled to leave for military service activities such as inspections, drills, or readiness tests. During this leave, they will receive their basic salary for up to sixty days. 5.Personal business leaveEmployees are entitled to three working days of personal business leave annually, which should not be deducted from their annual leave. 6.Training leave Employees can take leave for training or skill development in specific cases, such as skill development or increasing work efficiency, and for government-required educational level testing. However, this does not apply to training requested by the employee. Social Protection One of the key aspects of Thailand’s employment law is its social protection regulations. The employer is required to register their employees with the Workmen Compensation and Social Security Fund (SSF). The SSF provides a safety net for employees, offering benefits such as medical care, pension, and maternity benefits. Regarding payment of SSF, the employer must contribute five percent of the staff member’s income to the Social Security Office (up to 750 THB/month).Termination of Employment Termination of employment in Thailand is subject to specific legal provisions, including the payment of severance pay under certain conditions. The severance pay is depending on the employment period as follows: 120 days – 1 year employment is eligible for 30 days salary 1-3 years employment is eligible for 90 days salary 3-6 years employment is eligible for 180 days salary 6-10 years employment is eligible for 240 days salary 10-20 years employment is eligible for 300 days salary 20 years or more employment is eligible for 400 days salary Employers are required to give a minimum of one pay period's notice before terminating an employee. An employer is not required to offer severance pay if an employee is dismissed due to misconduct or dishonest behavior. In contrast, in the event of wrongful dismissal, the employee can file a claim to the Labour Court. Thai Labour Law for Foreigners Thai Labour Law becomes even more intricate for foreigners working or planning to work in Thailand. It is imperative for foreign workers to understand the specific legalities that apply to them. This includes obtaining the correct type of visa and work permit, which are mandatory for legally working in Thailand (Learn more about work permit in Thailand requirements). Navigating Thailand's employment laws can be complex, but understanding these fundamentals is essential for successful business operations in the country. ManpowerGroup Thailand offers comprehensive services to help businesses and individuals comply with these laws, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant working experience in Thailand.

6 December 2023 The demand for green jobs and skills continues to accelerate rapidly, with 70% of employers globally reporting they are currently recruiting or planning to actively recruit for these roles, according to ManpowerGroup‘s latest Global Insights report, “The Greening World of Work 2023 Outlook.” The new research is part of ManpowerGroup’s “People First Green Transition” initiative.Key findings include:Future Job Landscape: 55% of business leaders surveyed predict investments in green business transformation and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) will surpass technology and other megatrends as the primary job creators in the next five years. The transition is expected to create up to 30 million new green jobs globally by 2030. Green Job Surge: Across a spectrum of industries, there is significant interest to recruit green talent within Manufacturing & Production (36%) and Operations & Logistics (31%). However, this interest also extends to domains like IT & Data (30%), Sales & Marketing (27%), Engineering (26%), Administration & Office Support (25%), and Human Resources (25%). Skills Gap and Innovation: Despite this wave of demand, 94% of companies acknowledge a lack of talent needed to meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. Addressing this challenge, the report underscores the importance of substantial investments in training and development to upskill the workforce for the green economy. Consumer-Driven Shift: The report highlights that within the last year, 49% of global consumers opted to pay a premium for sustainable products. Notably, it's the Gen Z demographic that takes the lead in demonstrating a strong preference for sustainability, with 75% of Gen Z individuals saying when it comes to making purchases, prioritizing sustainability outweighs brand considerations.Governmental Momentum: Government incentives, such as the European Union’s €225 billion Green Deal Industrial Plan and the United States’ Inflation Reduction Act providing $369 billion for clean energy, are galvanizing businesses to adopt net zero commitments. As a result, the research reveals 58% of Fortune 500 CEOs have now set ambitious net zero emissions targets, a significant increase from 36% in 2021.ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey Q4 in 2023Financials & Real Estate World of Work 2023 OutlookThe foundation of this global green business transformation is a skilled and innovative workforce.

What Makes You Eligible for an Urgent Work Permit in Thailand?
13 November 2023 Imagine: You are a tech specialist tasked with conducting in-depth training for the local team in Bangkok on the latest software update. Although this situation is urgent, you are still required to get a work permit in Thailand. This process can be lengthy, involving a considerable amount of paperwork, and it could take up to seven to ten working days to be processed. Such circumstances require a special type of authorization— i.e., an urgent work permit in Thailand.What is an Urgent Work Permit in Thailand?An Urgent Work Permit in Thailand, or UWP, is a legal document that authorizes foreign nationals to carry out professional duties within the country on a short-term basis. To be eligible for the urgent work permit, the applicant must be able to describe the nature of work that needs immediate attention. Most importantly, an urgent work permit will only be issued for a maximum of fifteen (15) days. An urgent work permit in Thailand can be obtained from the Department of Employment within the same day of your arrival. The process usually takes one working day to complete and can only be obtained after the foreign national has entered Thailand. In contrast to the usual work permit, which requires a work visa, foreign nationals can hold any type of visa to be able to get a UWP.Individuals who receive an Urgent Work Permit (UWP) are required to exit Thailand upon the completion of their tasks and refrain from attempting to get a standard work permit. Should they need to acquire another emergency work permit, the applicant must wait 45 days following the expiry date of their initial UWP before submitting a new application.Certain job functions are considered "urgent" and justify the issuance of such a permit. These can include:Organizing or Setting Up Conferences, Training, and/or Seminars A foreign expert is required to establish or oversee these events to ensure they meet international standards.Conducting Special Educational LecturesAcademics or industry experts may need to deliver lectures that impart critical knowledge not readily available in Thailand.Aviation Superintendent WorkSupervision and urgent inspections in the aviation field demand specialized expertise for safety and compliance.Occasional Internal AuditForeign auditors might be called upon to conduct unexpected financial reviews to align with global company policies.These are a few situations where foreign nationals are eligible for urgent work permit applications. To find out if your assigned duties fall under urgent cases, we recommend you recheck with the Employment Department of Thailand, the Thai Embassy, or consult with your trusted work permit agency.Work Activities That Don't Qualify for an Urgent Work Permit in ThailandA standard work permit is not required for the following activities:Attendance at Meetings, Gatherings of Information, or Seminars:Engagements strictly involving passive participation are exempt from work permit requirements.Attendance at Exhibitions or Trade Exhibitions: Individuals attending these events as observers or participants do not need a work permit.Visits at Business Operations or Attendance at Business Meetings:Routine visits for operational oversight or business discussions are legally permissibleListening to Special Lectures and Academic Lectures:Those who are in Thailand to attend lectures without providing any services or performing work, do not require a work permitListening to Technical Training Lectures or Seminars:Similar to academic lectures, attending technical training sessions as a listener does not constitute work.Purchasing Goods at Trade Exhibitions:Buying products at trade events isn’t work.Attending a Board Meeting for a Non-Thai Company: You can freely attend board meetings from your home country without needing a work permit.The regulation explicitly states that if a foreign national is visiting Thailand for general business meetings or any "non-working" activities listed, they are not required to obtain a work permit in Thailand. It's crucial, however, that their activities in Thailand are limited strictly to those mentioned.Should you require any assistance in obtaining your work permit, ManpowerGroup Thailand is ready to provide you with a comprehensive service.ManpowerGroup Thailand’s Work Permit ServiceManpowerGroup Thailand offers a full range of work permit services in Thailand, including consulting, compiling, organizing, and expediting work permit and Non-B Visa applications.

ทำงานแบบ “ล้ำเส้น” ไม่ให้เกียรติกัน สร้างบรรยากาศ TOXIC ในที่ทำงาน
12 October 2023 ในหนังสือ Crucial Conversations เคยเขียนไว้ว่า “Respect is like air. As long as its present, nobody thinks about it. But if you take it away, it’s all that people can think about” (การให้เกียรติก็เหมือนอากาศ ตราบใดที่มันยังมีอยู่ คนจะไม่คิดถึงมัน แต่ถ้าคุณไม่มีมันแล้ว มันจะเป็นสิ่งที่คนนึกถึง)พนักงานของคุณรู้สึกว่าได้รับความเคารพ และให้เกียรติซึ่งกันและกันหรือไม่..?เมื่อถามพนักงานว่าอะไรสำคัญที่สุดสำหรับพวกเขา "การให้เกียรติ และ Respect ในหน้าที่จากผู้บังคับบัญชา" มักจะอยู่ในอันดับต้น ๆ ของรายการ ซึ่งการค้นพบนี้ได้รับการสนับสนุนจากบทความที่ตีพิมพ์ใน Harvard Business Review เรื่อง "Do Your Employees Feel Respected?" และหนังสือ "Energize Your Workplace: How to Create and Sustain High-Quality Connections at Work" โดย Christine Porath ศาสตราจารย์แห่ง Georgetown UniversityPorath ได้ทำการสำรวจพนักงานในองค์กรเกือบ 20,000 คนทั่วโลก และพบว่าการเคารพ และให้เกียรติซึ่งกันและกันในองค์กร เป็นพฤติกรรมที่สำคัญของการเป็นผู้นำ อย่างไรก็ตาม มีรายงานพฤติกรรมไม่เคารพและพฤติกรรมไม่เหมาะสมของเพื่อนร่วมงานเพิ่มขึ้นทุกปี ในโลกที่องค์กรแสวงหาการมีส่วนร่วมของพนักงานและพนักงานเองก็แสวงหาการเติบโตในอาชีพการงาน แต่ประเด็นการเคารพ และให้เกียรติซึ่งกันและกันนั้นยังถูกมองข้ามอยู่บ่อย ๆ ถึงเวลาแล้ว ที่ผู้นำองค์กร หัวหน้าทีม รวมถึงพนักงานทุกคนควรสร้างบรรทัดฐานในการเคารพ และให้เกียรติซึ่งกันและกัน เพราะการให้เกียรตินั้นเป็นองค์ประกอบสำคัญต่อการพัฒนาตัวเองของพนักงาน การออกแบบองค์กรที่ให้มีการให้เกียรติกันยังทำให้พนักงานนั้นรู้สึกพึงพอใจในหน้าที่การงาน และผูกพันธ์กับองค์กรมากขึ้น พนักงานที่รู้สึกว่าตนเองได้รับความเคารพเพียงพอจะทนต่อการเปลี่ยนแปลงใหญ่ ๆ ที่เกิดขึ้นกับองค์กรได้ ทำงานแบบร่วมมือทั้งภายในทีม และระหว่างทีมได้ดี และมีความคิดสร้างสรรค์ในงานต่าง ๆ เอื้อให้เกิดนวัตกรรมใหม่ ๆ ภายในองค์กรค่ะ อ้างอิงข้อมูลบางส่วน: Harvard Business Review

Top 5 Reasons Your Business Should Use a Recruitment Agency in Thailand
2 October 2023 When starting a business or having a job vacancy, the obvious course of action is to start the hiring process. Most businesses would do it in-house, with HR being the main person doing the recruitment. Still, there is another option, which is using the services of a recruitment agency. They can offer a specialized service in finding the right talent. Partnering with the right recruitment agency in Thailand can be highly beneficial not only to HR but to the company as a whole. Here are 5 key benefits of using a recruitment agency:Advantages of Using a Recruitment Agency1. High-Quality RecruitmentA recruitment agency strengthens your ability to connect with high-quality candidates with the skills and expertise within the relevant industry. A recruitment agency will most likely have access to a talent pool of pre-screened and referenced candidates. This means that you will meet with individuals who have undergone a thorough assessment, sparing you a great deal of time and effort.Moreover, through the use of a recruitment agency, your business is more likely to have access to the leading job-seekers on the market. Why? Job seekers prefer the efficiency and convenience offered by recruitment agencies.2. Faster HiringMost businesspeople agree with the adage that “time is money,” using the services of a recruitment agency can prove to be a valuable time and cost-saving strategy. Recruitment agencies prioritize giving clients a curated list of high-quality candidates. This allows companies to concentrate on other critical aspects of their business. It is no secret that hiring new staff is a complex and time-consuming process. This is especially relevant if you are a smaller business without the capacity to support an in-house team of recruiters.That said, recruitment agencies in Thailand can be an excellent solution to save time, and you can be confident that your hiring needs are being dealt with professionally and quickly.3. Specialist Recruitment KnowledgeRecruitment agencies have a deeper understanding of technical jobs and the skills needed for them. On top of that, they also possess the expertise to spot transferable skills relevant to your job opening.As your business grows and changes, this specialized knowledge of technical jobs can be an invaluable asset in acquiring new employees for a position that requires specific technical skills.4. Knowledge of the MarketIdentifying the right individual who meets specific requirements can be challenging, especially in a market you are unfamiliar with. In such cases, the expertise and market knowledge of the agency are highly valuable.When partnering with a recruitment agency in Thailand, your business will gain access to their expertise in salary rates, available skill sets, career development expectations, contract support, hiring complexities, and sector-specific market trends, insights that might otherwise remain undisclosed to the general public.5. Additional ServicesOne pertinent advantage of using a recruitment agency is the additional services offered. This can range from background checks on candidates, sub-contract and temporary outsourcing, payroll services, and work permit services in Thailand.In summary, you can benefit from recruitment agencies by tapping into their expertise, saving time and money, gaining access to a wider candidate pool, and receiving assistance throughout the hiring process. These benefits can ultimately lead to more efficient and successful talent acquisition, which is essential for the growth and success of your businesses in Thailand.ManpowerGroup, Your Trusted Recruitment Agency in ThailandBy partnering with Manpower, you will gain access to experienced recruiters who will take care of your recruitment needs, ensuring your business finds the right people with the right skills.ManpowerGroup is the world’s leading workforce expert.

Whether it’s stakeholders, employees, or the general public, a good public speaker is able to adjust and adapt their message for any scenario.Composure: Public speaking can be intense, and leaders should remain composed even in challenging moments. When put on the spot with an unexpected question or handling a sensitive topic, good speakers must remain calm, respond thoughtfully, and maintain control of the conversation.Effective Strategies for Exceptional Public Speaking:Message Preparation: Leaders should craft their key messages in advance, ensuring alignment with the organization's goals and values. These messages should be adaptable to various contexts while maintaining consistency.Audience Awareness: Understanding the audience's perspectives, interests, and concerns helps leaders tailor their messages to resonate with the intended recipients, whether it's investors, customers, or the general public.Public Speaking Training: Public speaking training programs, such as our upcoming Public Persona Workshop, equips leaders with essential skills and techniques.
