SMEs To Get Human Resource Development Centre, Says Minister
KUALA LUMPUR, April 19 (Bernama) -- A human resource development centre will be set up next year to enhance human resource management among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), said Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam.
The centre aims to equip employers with relevant knowledge with regard to managing their human assets.
"Such companies should give attention to improving human resource management towards enhancing productivity and keeping skilled talent.
"This is in line with the government's intention to rev up the economy and turn it into a high-income economy by 2020," he told reporters after opening the 10th Asia Human Resource Management Congress here Tuesday.
Dr Subramaniam noted that many small and medium businesses did not have much expertise in managing human resources, compared to multinational corporations.
About 500 delegates from 22 countries such as Brunei, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States are taking part in the two-day congress.
On another development, Subramaniam was confident that the Indonesian maid issue would be resolved by next month.
"A meeting was held in Jakarta last week and both sides are still discussing several things," he added. -- BERNAMA
