The Tolls of Service with a Smile

Then we discuss the effects of emotional labour as well as ways to cope with such job demands with Dr. Eugene Tee, lecturer of psychology at HELP University, as well as Karen Yap, Chief Human Resource officer at Manulife Holdings.

The Conditions for Entrepreneurship

There’s no doubt that we’re in an era of the cult of the entrepreneur. But what often gets lost in these entrepreneurship conversations is that the most common shared trait among entrepreneurs is access to financial capital - family money, an inheritance, or a pedigree and connections that allow for access to financial stability. While it seems that entrepreneurs tend to have an admirable penchant for risk, it’s usually that access to money which allows them to take risks. Umapagan Ampikaipakan speaks to Scott Stern - the David Sarnoff Professor of Management at MIT's Sloan School of Management - to find out if this is true.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Navi Pillay: Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

We've either heard or read about the story of South Africa during the apartheid era but Navi Pillay lived through it. She is someone who has accomplished many 'firsts' in South Africa. She was the first woman to start a law practice in her home province of Natal in 1967 and the first non-white woman and first attorney to serve in the High Court of South Africa. She then went on to become the High Commissioner for Human Rights. She did all that while being 'trebly disadvantaged' by race, class, and gender. A south African of Indian Tamil descent.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Over the past few years, corruption has had a starring role in almost every discussion about good governance. The call for transparency has never been as loud and as clear as it is today. One way to keep government and its institutions accountable is through tracking its numbers, either through self-checks, by the public, or external organisations. The latter two checks only work only if the government opened more access to data. Open Data Day is on March 4 this year. To mark the day, we speak to Khairil Yusof, co-founder of the Sinar Project, about what the project does, why they do it, the stories that numbers and data sets can tell you, and how it helps keep the government accountable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
