Abstract:
To be cost competitive while having a labor-intensive manufacturing process in a VUCA environment is a formidable task for an organization who sees its employees as the backbone of the company.

For many companies, when there is a serious business downturn, employers resort to retrenchment or redundancy. As these measures hurt both employers and employees, many businesses would prefer to outsource processes or hire temporary employees or hire manpower agencies to man their operations verging on contractualization. SRE is an alternative scheme in our quest to find balance between meeting the needs of business and the welfare of employees.
