His work has been featured by The Economist, BBC, The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Thomson Reuters, CGTN, Deloitte University Press, Forbes, HR Director, People Management, Thomson Reuters, Hays Journal, People Matters, HR Grapevine, HRM Asia, Inside HR, LinkedIn, and many more publications worldwide.
