Republic Polytechnic shines at The Singapore HR Awards 2010

The Singapore HR Awards is organised yearly by the Singapore Human Resource Institute (SHRI) to celebrate the success of organisations and HR professionals for their leading human capital strategies. Held at Grand Hyatt Singapore, the gala dinner was graced by Guest-of-Honour, Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, Minister of State for Community Development, Youth and Sports.

This year, our Principal, Mr Yeo Li Pheow, is awarded the Leading CEO award. The award is presented to inspiring leaders whose leadership and commitment towards innovative and effective HR ideas and practices, has created significant contribution to the progress of HR in their organisation. The award serves to honour our Principal for his strong dedication and ongoing support in our HR practices and for playing a pivotal role in shaping our staff development and leadership programmes and improving on our employee engagement.
