12. How SIM Transformed into a Skills-Based Organisation with Sara Yik

In this week's episode of Hupo's Podcast, we speak with Sara Yik, CHRO at the Singapore Institute of Management, on how aligning roles with business strategy transformed the organization. Sara shares how SIM redesigned its organisational structure from a clean slate, ensuring every role was purposefully mapped to business goals—not as a headcount-cutting exercise, but as a shift towards a skills-based approach and continuous learning, including the launch of a corporate learning academy. The result? A more strategic workforce and a 100+ spot jump in Singapore’s Best Employer rankings.
