Chief of Staff Asia is a new media brand aimed at the HR profession across Southeast Asia.

Chief of Staff Asia is the ultimate resource for the professional HR community in Southeast Asia and the Asia Pacific. Launched in July 2021 by some of the region’s most experienced workplace journalists, it is the first Singapore-owned and operated trade media brand dedicated to this vital component of business throughout the region. Chief of Staff Asia combines traditional communication channels

with the versatility of digital media to inform, engage, and celebrate the HR profession across all ASEAN markets. So HR professionals can connect with its thought-provoking content on the website, print magazine (six issues per year from February 2022); Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram; its three-times-weekly newsletters; and via the weekly HR Agenda video series on YouTube. As we move toward the “new normal” of post-pandemic life, there will also be safe opportunities for regular, in-person meetup events that celebrate and recognise the extraordinary profession of people management in Southeast Asia. So no matter how HR professionals like to connect with their peers and stay informed about their dynamic profession, Chief of Staff Asia has a range of platforms, exceptionally well-researched content, and an award-winning team to deliver exactly that.

🧠 Mental health is everywhere—but too often still goes unspoken.

Prof Tan Bhing Leet, Cluster Director of Health and Social Sciences at the Singapore Institute of Technology, shares that fostering mental wellbeing at work requires HR leaders to integrate resilience-building, open dialogue, and holistic support into everyday culture.

And still, less than half feel safe talking to their bosses about how they really feel.

What helps?
✅ Leadership that leads by example
✅ Confidential support: wellness days, counselling, mental health apps
✅ A culture of psychological safety & continuous feedback

Let’s break the taboo — because when employees feel seen and supported, workplaces thrive.

Soh Ming, Founder and Managing Director of Volt Auto, says the real lesson from EV adoption isn’t about tech—it’s about habits. 🚗💡

Just like EV owners who learn to plan, charge, and drive differently, HR leaders can inspire lasting change by helping employees build small, consistent routines that make the new feel natural.

Here’s what works:
✅ Make change part of everyday workflows
✅ Use the first 30 days to form good habits
✅ Support tools with behaviour-focused training
✅ Value calm, steady progress
✅ Let culture grow through shared experiences

Because change that lasts isn’t taught—it’s lived.

🤖 Worried about AI at work? You’re not alone.

Andrew Calvert, Solution Lead, EZRA Coaching, explains that coaching is key to easing AI anxiety, helping workers shift from fear to curiosity and embrace AI as a partner for growth.

Here’s how companies can help turn that worry into confidence:
✔️ Be open & clear about what AI will do (and won’t).
✔️ Help everyone understand AI—offer learning, myth-busting and support.
✔️ Use fair, ethical AI tools so people trust the process.
✔️ Keep people at the heart: good leadership, mental wellbeing, space to ask questions.

Together, we can make AI change something we’re excited about, not something we fear.
