The Hindu Business Line : CII team visiting Singapore, Malaysia

A 21-MEMBER CII delegation of HR heads is visiting Singapore and Malaysia from June 7 to 12 to "share best practices in HR" with the Asia-Pacific region.

The team was led by Mr Adil Malia, Coca-Cola Vice-President - Human Resources, for India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal and would represent leaders from companies of the old and new economy and from the four regions of the country, a release from the CII Institute of Quality said.

The mission will benchmark best practices in HR planning, performance management, training and development, compensation and retention.

Besides building relationships on "soft issues", "the mission will also take a consortium approach to training, plan an international HR summit and draw out an action plan for exchange programmes."
