Jagdip S Rekhraj

“Jagdip played a pivotal role in successfully integrating HR and new business structure strategy. He has demonstrated a high level of professionalism in his course of work. His systematic approach and unselfish knowledge-sharing nature has left a deep impression on all of us. ”

“I had the chance to work with Jagdip during my Lagardère Sports Asia (now SportFive) years. While pivoting my role as the head of newly established corporate procurement unit, Jagdip and I have come across many projects together. From drafting corporate policies to make our organizational management integrated with global framework to jointly explore best corporate vendors to bring efficiency and greater benefits to all employees, Jagdip has demonstrated in-depth knowledge in corporate management, staff benefits programs, employee engagement, and other subject expertise beyond his role as the Head of HR. He has coached and shared a lot of his personal and professional experiences with me and selfishly lent many off-work hours to ensure I understood the best practices in managing and leading relevant corporate procurement projects. Among many professional and personal qualities that I admired and looked up to Jagdip, the two most valuable ones are his professional integrity and care for others. Even though we have become good friends while working together as colleagues, he always kept a clear boundary between our personal and professional relationship. He treated his work with extreme respect and so to our colleagues. He has been constantly looked out for our colleagues’ wellbeing and make sure we function as an efficient team. I found such qualities are getting rare and do hope whomever out there looking for a professional and resourceful Head of HR would have the fortune to have him joining. Personally speaking, I’d also hope I would have the chance and honour to work with him again. ”
