HCLI aims to distill and disseminate the best ideas on human capital and leadership in Asia. In partnership with industry, academia, and consulting firms, combining business relevance with rigour, HCLI drives pan-Asian research, leading to the development of cutting-edge human capital solutions.

For Asia, From Asia
With Asia being the fastest growing region in the world, there is a real need for culturally-relevant people practices to sustain and fuel this growth.

Rigour and Relevance
Our goal is to drive research that has both scientific rigor and industry relevance.

Collaborative Connections
We are proponents of collaborative research – no one research institute will be able to solve the complex human capital challenges of Asia.
