Overview: HR strategist, business consultant, and author dedicated to helping PMETs navigate AI disruption, career uncertainty, and workforce transformation with resilience and adaptability.

Industry: Human Resources, Career Development & Business Consulting

Professional Experience: Dr. Nik Chong has extensive experience in human resources, business consulting, organisational development, leadership training, and workforce transformation. He has worked closely with PMETs (Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians), organisations, and business leaders on topics related to employability, career resilience, retrenchment recovery, and adapting to technological disruption in the age of AI. He is also the author of Still Relevant in the Age of AI? A Practical Career Guide for PMETs.

About him: Dr. Nik Chong is a Singapore-based HR and business consultant passionate about helping PMETs remain resilient and employable in an increasingly AI-driven economy. Having personally experienced retrenchment earlier in his career, he understands the emotional, psychological, and financial challenges many mid-career professionals face during periods of disruption and uncertainty.

Through his work, writing, and community initiatives, he advocates not only for skills upgrading and career adaptability, but also for rebuilding confidence, identity, and purpose. He strongly believes the future workforce must embrace lifelong learning, emotional resilience, and human-centred strengths that complement technological advancement.

Turning point: A major turning point came when Dr. Nik personally experienced retrenchment in his forties. Although he eventually found another role, the experience left a lasting impression about the vulnerability many professionals face in rapidly changing industries.

Witnessing the accelerating impact of AI, automation, and restructuring on PMETs further strengthened his conviction that professionals need practical guidance and emotional support to remain relevant and adaptable. This inspired him to write Still Relevant in the Age of AI? and actively advocate for career resilience and workforce transformation.

What he does now: Today, Dr. Nik works as an HR and business consultant while actively speaking, mentoring, and writing about career resilience, AI disruption, employability, and workforce transformation. He also participates in community-driven initiatives such as SG60 Voices From The Heart and Speak Up Collective, which aim to create stronger emotional support, visibility, and conversations surrounding PMET challenges in Singapore. Through his consulting and thought leadership work, he continues helping professionals and organisations navigate the evolving future of work.
