In the Spotlight: Balancing profit and purpose, how companies can do it right

Singapore shares opened lower today after Wall Street booked overnight gains on improving sentiment.  

The Straits Times Index (STI) was down 0.1 per cent to 3,183.55 points in early trade after 92.4 million securities changed hands in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch today, we have Thomson Medical Group after the Singapore-based healthcare company was reported by Bloomberg to be in advanced talks to purchase a controlling stake in Vietnam’s FV Hospital. 

Elsewhere, investors continue to keep their eyes on the US market after a forecast busting jump in jobless claims figures cemented beliefs that Federal Reserve officials would pause interest rate hikes this month. 

Also worthy of note is the broad based S&P 500 entering a bull market after rising over 20 per cent from its October low.

On Market View, the Drive Time team unpacked the developments with Benjamin Goh, Head of Research and Investor Education, SIAS.

Culture Club: Biggest challenges one will face when trying to advance in their careers mid-way through their professional journeys

We’re going to talk all about succession and business leadership development today. 

While departments such as human resources may be labelled as cost centres, effective talent development and management can reap tangible outcomes for businesses when it comes to the dollars and cents. 

According to a report by the Boston Consulting Group in 2015,” talent magnets” – or companies that rated themselves strongest on 20 leadership and talent management capabilities – have increased their revenues 2.2 times faster and profits 1.5 times faster than their peers with weak practices. 

On this front, the Singapore Business Federation’s Alliance for Action on Business Leadership has released a report to call out opportunities in the local talent development landscape and put forth recommendations on what key stakeholders can do to help Singaporeans earn their place at the corporate leadership table on a global stage. 

But really, what is in it for businesses to train locals for leadership positions? How will local leaders make strategic decisions differently given their understanding of the local market, and how will training local leaders position firms for longer-term growth?

On Under the Radar, Drive Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian spoke with  Frank Koo, Head of Asia - Talent and Learning Solutions at LinkedIn and  Albert Tsui, Executive Director, Advocacy and Policy at the Singapore Business Federation for more.
