Half of Singapore’s workforce is feeling financial stress, and payroll teams are stretched thin, according to Deel’s 2025 Singapore Payday Expectations Report. From stagnant wages and rising costs to payroll errors and disengagement, the report underscores an urgent need for modernised, transparent, and flexible pay systems. Solutions like earned wage access (EWA), personalised compensation, and integrated payroll tech could ease financial strain while boosting engagement.

Karen Ng, Regional Head of Expansion, Enterprise, North and South Asia, Deel notes: “Payroll can evolve from a back-office task into a powerful lever of employee engagement and business resilience.”

Asia's workforce is at a pivotal moment. With AI reshaping how work gets done, traditional talent models are no longer enough. At LinkedIn 's exclusive management workshop, industry leaders explored the rise of the "superworker"—professionals who combine human ingenuity with AI to drive organisational transformation.

Josh Bersin and Elsie Ng shared insights with HRM Asia on rethinking HR, building skills velocity, and creating agile, future-ready organisations in Asia-Pacific's hyper-competitive markets.

💡 Leadership with Humanity

For Chua Hui Xin, Executive Director and Chief People Officer at Unicorn, sustainable business isn’t just about profit—it’s about values: integrity, sincerity, and humanity.

At Unicorn, employees are treated like family, mentorship is personal, and client relationships are built on trust and authenticity. Chua believes profit flows from value creation, not the other way around.

Her advice to leaders? “Profit and values must come together. Values drive profit, and profit goes back into creating more value. That’s the only way to build long-term sustainability.”

Discover how Chua is redefining leadership and wellbeing in finance: https://hrmasia.com/the-taiji-of-talent-why-values-and-profit-must-flow-together/

At Unicorn, Chua Hui Xin proves that balancing humanity with business goals creates a culture where values continually drive profit and growth.
