Turning to the AEC's second main impact, your business needs strategies to attract and retain talent in an environment where it is allowed to freely roam. Today, we operate in a changing world of work; businesses are increasingly reliant on intangible assets such as people, employees are less chained to traditional offices and set hours, "Gen Y" is bringing different attitudes to work and work is now done wherever and whenever. You must understand the changes that are coming your way and provide career-path customisation, learning programmes and flexible work arrangements that meet your workers' needs.
Now, what about your blue-collar workers? Labour costs in Thailand are on the rise, while the opening up of our neighbours' economies will soon draw many of their workers back home. The way to respond to the coming shortage of cheap labour is to use less people today, by eliminating low value-added processes, creating leaner business processes and using greater automation.
The biggest impacts of the AEC in 2015 will be on competitiveness and worker-mobility. And though we are still three years away, it is crucial that you prepare your business as much as you can, while you still have some breathing room.
