Capital, technology, and marketing are important factors in building a successful animal protein business. However, the paramount factor is human resource (HR) that runs the business.
Jaap ten Have, Managing Director of Nomilk2day Asia, lists HR challenges in the industry.
“We see many vacancies, but not many suitable candidates. Companies must be more creative to lure potential candidates. Inflation is a contributing factor, pushing people to stay in their jobs a bit longer for security,” Mr ten Have told Asian Agribiz.
“We also observe that loyalty is waning. We don't see people working for the same company for 20-30 years anymore,” he added.
In this podcast, Mr ten Have addresses:
tips for foreign employees to succeed in Asia, pain points of Asian candidates in moving up their career ladder, and ideas to attract the younger generation to join the animal protein industry.
