【Event Highlights】Talent Strategy Forum 2026:
Decoded: Intergenerational Workplace Resilience and the New Paradigm of Holistic Wellness

The highly anticipated annual flagship event, the "Workplace Resilience x Sustainable Competitiveness" Talent Strategy Forum, organized by Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service and fully endorsed by the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management (HKIHRM), recently concluded with great acclaim at M88 in Central. The exclusive, full-house forum gathered an elite cohort of c-suite executives and visionary HR pioneers from leading enterprises. Together, they delved into the strategic imperatives of charting corporate transformation, exploring how organizations can fortify structural resilience to secure and sustain their core edge in tomorrow's market.

💡 Forum Keynote: Navigating Intergenerational EAP and Holistic Workplace Wellness

As the triple imperatives of organizational transformation, talent acquisition, and sustainable development intensify, the role of HR has underwent a fundamental shift—evolving from a traditional back-office support function into a vital strategic partner driving corporate growth.

The centerpiece of this year's forum featured a series of high-caliber, dual-core panel discussions with industry heavyweights and corporate leaders. Together, they delivered actionable insights into two of the most critical issues reshaping today's workplace:

1. Cultivating Structural Resilience: The Synergy of People and Profit

On stage, the experts delved deep into how precision-engineered talent, cultural alignment, and corporate wellness initiatives can maximize human capital efficiency. By elevating employee engagement, organizations can successfully synchronize "People (Talent)" and "Profit"—securing a sustainable, win-win advantage amidst the volatile shifts of the global economy.

2. The New EAP Playbook: Navigating Intergenerational Dynamics and the AI Frontier

To address the most pressing catalysts of change in today’s talent landscape, the panelists offered actionable managerial intelligence, highlighting key strategic pillars:

  • The Gen Z Manifesto: Mental Well-being as a Career Anchor
    The new generation of professionals is redefining career success. When evaluating professional growth, they treat Mental Health and workplace inclusivity not as perks, but as non-negotiable core benchmarks.
  • Holistic Wellness: The New Paradigm of Corporate Culture
    Leading multinational and domestic enterprises are progressively weaving holistic employee well-being directly into the fabric of their corporate culture, recognizing it as a fundamental pillar of sustainability.
  • The Trajectory of Hong Kong’s EAP: Emerging Yet Imperative
    While local Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are currently in a nascent but pivotal phase of exploration, the tide is turning. Driven by the friction of intergenerational communication, the rapid democratization of AI, and the growing demand for work-life integration, EAP is rapidly climbing to the top of the corporate agenda.

"The paradigm has shifted: HR has evolved from a traditional back-office support function into a strategic catalyst driving organizational growth."

🎪 Synergistic Extensions: Pioneering Tech-Driven Care and CSR in Practice

Beyond the high-impact dialogues on stage, the interactive exhibition booths on-site generated exceptional buzz, seamlessly embedding the concepts of technology and community inclusion into the modern workplace:

• Re:Fresh — Intelligent Mental Well-being Tracking
The forum showcased the "Re:Mind" App, a proprietary digital solution developed under Baptist Oi Kwan Social Service. The showcase highlighted how leveraging digital architecture and tech-driven toolkits can empower professionals to track their holistic health and manage stress anytime, anywhere.

• 25Point (廿五點) — Creative Social Enterprise
A curated pop-up booth was dedicated to this online social enterprise, which champions the empowerment of individuals recovering from mental health challenges. By presenting artisan products rich with human warmth and storytelling, the initiative inspired corporates to expand their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) blueprints toward deeper community inclusion.

💝 Strategic Endorsement: Empowering Energy from CPF and WOW
