Global HR Forum 2014 | Keynote | Human Resources Development for Sustainable Growth

Global HR Forum 2014 | Keynote 1 | Human Resources Development for Sustainable Growth * Jim Yong Kim President, World Bank Group Moderated by * Sungmo Steve Kang President, KAIST The Global Financial Crisis have caused economic recession and reinforced social instability and conflict in many countries. In the U.S. and Europe, a large number of people blamed inept government policies and increased gap between super-rich and poor. Likewise, issues related to economic inequality and public distrust towards the leadership became more serious in Korea.?Especially, after the recent Sewol Ferry Tragedy, Koreans show intensified distrust in our society as they witnessed that people in responsibility had no sense of ethics, self-sacrifice to protect our citizens but only had greed and selfishness. Most of the Korean citizens considered these incidents as characteristics of underdeveloped countries, and suggested that the Korean society has overlooked significance on humanistic education and moral responsibility, but only focused on rapid economic growth for the past few decades. In light of that, we decided a main theme for this year’s 9th?Global HR Forum as Human Resources for Trust and Integration, hoping that we can make an opportunity to discuss the ways to train and educate future talents who have solid moral foundation and can hold our society together. Korea needs human resources that can resolve deep-rooted regionalism, generation gap and class inequality and prepare for the Korean reunification in the future. During this session, President Jim Yong Kim will speak about the problem of distrust and fragmentation that runs rife in society and the progress of other nations' efforts in curbing this problem, and?how much effort nations have put into talent development with the goal of increasing trust and social cohesion. Global HR Forum 2014 | Keynote 2 | The Science of Trust * John Gottman Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Washington This session reviews, "The Science of Trust" in the context of couple relationships, including the physiology of trust and betrayal, and the mathematics of trust and betrayal. Recent research from John Gottman`s laboratory will be reviewed that leads to a precise definition of trust. Dr. Gottman will also talk about a new empirically-based theory of trust, how to create trust in love relationships, and how it is sometimes possible to heal from betrayal. This presentation is geared towards a clinical audience and is based upon Dr. Gottman’s latest books, ‘The Science of Trust’ and ‘What Makes Love Last? How to Build Trust and Avoid Betrayal’.
