SUMMARY:HR Committee meeting with Universum
DESCRIPTION:Summary of event\nEuroCham hosted a presentation by Ms. Rachele Forcardi\, senior VP at Universum where she presented the findings of a global survey conducted by Universum on the attitudes of the Generation Z. Defined as youths between the ages of 14 and 19\, these individuals expressed a shocking view on their use of social media\, career goals\, and entrepreneurship. \nThe results of the survey proved to be a worrying trend for governments\, employers\, and universities where these youths had expressed increased scepticism of the value of a university degree as compared to hands-on experience and life achievements. As an emerging generation that are presently in high school faced with the choice of entering university and participating in the workforce afterward\, a large portion of those surveyed had a positive view on doing good rather than making more money\, if and when such a dichotomy exists. \nTo find out more about this interesting study and to view the results\, please contact the corporate affairs manager Mr. Elgin Seah at elgin.seah@eurocham.org.sg. \n  \n  \nSynopsis \nThis event is an opportunity for HR professionals to get an insider’s view of a new global study conducted by Universum with 50\,000 members of the Gen Z generation. What will interest EuroCham members is the ASEAN regional study showing country-by-country attitudes to work\, to education\, to corporate careers and entrepreneurship and to technology. \nThe format of this meeting will be a presentation of the study and dialogue with HR and higher education professionals about how to prepare for the next generation in Asia.  \nSpeaker: \nRachele Focardi is Senior Vice President for APAC at Universum\, a leading  Employer Branding and Talent Strategy company.

SUMMARY:EuroCham Breakfast: General Data Protection Regulation
DESCRIPTION:SUMMARY OF EVENT \nEuroCham hosted a session on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that comes into force on 25th May 2018. Mr. Bruno Gencarelli\, Head of Unit in charge of international data flows and consumer protection at the European Commission\, gave the audience an explanation of this regulation that impacts all companies that (will) have business dealings with clients based in the EU. The presentation was followed by a panel debate moderated by Mr. Jonathan Kok\, Head of RHTLaw Wessing’s Intellectual Property & Technology Practice\, during which Mr. Gencarelli and Mr. Tan Shong Ye\, Partner at PWC Risk Services\, further discussed the implications of the GDPR for businesses in Singapore and Asia. \nMr. Gencarelli started by explaining the three main reasons for establishing a new European framework on data protection: technological developments and globalisation\, constitutionalisation of the fundamental right to data protection\, and fragmentation of the legislative framework with different translations of the previous directive into national laws. Implementing a harmonised and simplified framework with one single set of data protection rules for the EU that creates an equal level playing field and cuts the red tape was therefore unavoidable and much needed. The new framework offers rules that are fit for the digital single market\, puts individuals in control of their own data and ensures a modern data protection governance system. Instead of treating data based on a ‘one size fits all’ approach\, it is treated based on the risks they impose from a privacy point of view. \nMr. Gencarelli emphasised that high standards of data protection contribute to free\, secure and competitive trade flows. He pointed out that the European Commission is doing everything it can to make the transition period as smooth as possible for companies affected by the regulation. The EU’s webpage on the GDPR offers a one-stop-shop for companies to find out everything they need to know in the first stage of implementation as well as thereafter. Also with regards to international transfers\, new toolkits have been introduced. \nDuring the panel debate a range of topics were discussed including the implications of the GDPR for companies with different levels of operations in the EU\, flexibility of the regulation in light of technological developments and responsibilities of national data protection authorities of EU Member States. \nEuroCham looks back on an informative and insightful session and would like to thank Mr. Gencarelli\, Mr. Tan\, and Mr. Kok warmly for their valuable contributions. \nClick here for our upcoming events! \n \n \n \nSPEAKERS and MODERATOR \nMr Bruno Gencarelli\,\nHead of Unit in charge of international data flows and protection and consumer at the European Commission \nMr Tan Shong Ye\,\nPartner at PricewaterhouseCoopers Risk Services Pte Ltd \nModerator\, Mr Jonathan Kok\,\nHead of RHTLaw Wessing’s Intellectual Property & Technology Practice \n  \nSYNOPSIS \nMr Bruno Gencarellli\, Head of  Unit in charge of international data flows and protection and consumer at the European Commission will be visiting Singapore.
