The Business of Talent: Inchcape APAC and the power of EVP

In the first episode of our special series, The Business of Talent, we speak to Wendy Foong, Chief People Officer of Inchcape APAC, about unique talent initiatives that support their global team of 20,000.

As Wendy shares in this conversation, different programs are targeted at different groups of employees and address different needs. One of the most important is the leadership pipeline.

"We have management and leadership programs to equip our people, from first-line management, middle management, and up to senior management," Wendy tells us.
