In the new normal, EQ trumps IQ. It is no longer about the brilliance of a lone leader’s plan, but how a leader is able to draw out the best of the team and harness that into a collective goal, says Lai Tak Ming, UOB Malaysia s Country Head of HR.
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 28): Nine out of 10 Malaysian employees see the need to reskill or to upskill themselves to stay relevant in a post-pandemic market, according to a survey by United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Bhd (UOB Malaysia).
In a statement today, the lender said the response to its UOB Asean Consumer Sentiment Study came in amid expectations in Malaysia that it will be tough to secure a new job due to an economic recession.
It said 85% of those surveyed in Malaysia believe companies will prefer hiring people who can perform multiple functions, while 83% view that employers will reduce their headcount by stepping up digitalisation efforts.
