Hewitt Launches Asia Leadership Development Center
SHANGHAI, Sept. 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Hewitt Associates, a global
human resources services firm, today announced it will launch the Hewitt Asia
Leadership Center (HALC) on October 12, 2005. The center will serve the
entire region from its hub in Shanghai; helping companies tackle Asia's
escalating talent shortage through effective leadership development strategies
and programs.
Simon Keeley, Head of the HALC, commented, "The HALC aims to help
organizations that are looking to take a more planful approach to assessing
their people for leadership potential, offering challenging and meaningful
development experiences for current and future leaders, and putting in place
the necessary systems to support these programs. As a result of these
actions, clients will be able to confidently address chronic leadership talent
gaps within their organization."
The HALC draws on Hewitt's extensive experience and ground-breaking
research. The center will work closely with companies to conduct individual
leader assessments and design development programs; diagnose barriers to team
effectiveness and build strategies to enhance that effectiveness; and
facilitate shared understandings of organizational goals and strategies. It
also will explore what is expected of leaders themselves and their people in
line with those goals and strategies, and work with leadership and HR teams to
ensure their leadership strategies are aligned with overall business
strategies.
Keeley further commented, "The Hewitt Asia Leadership Center will provide
a place where companies can meet all of their leadership development
requirements by choosing the approach that best targets their needs."
