Human Resource The field of Human Resource (HR) is experiencing rapid growth as Singapore consolidates its position as the emerging centre for finance and business in Asia. Once seen as mainly a business support function, HR is now a core element of corporate and business strategy as companies come to recognise employees as a primary source of competitive advantage. Consequently, there is increasing demand for specialist HR practitioners both locally and regionally.
