Executive Director, Meca Employers Consulting |
Dharmen
Sivalingam is the Executive Director of MECA Employers Consulting
Agency Sdn Bhd, a boutique consulting firm that provides
advisory services to employers on all things related to
Industrial Relations.
Dharmen’s
involvement in the field of industrial relations had more
to do with chance than design. Upon obtaining his degree
in law, he applied for and was accepted as the legal editor
of the Industrial Law Reports, the only journal in the country
that specializes in the field of Industrial Relations.
Five
years of reading Industrial Court awards and judgments of
higher courts was enough for him to decide to try his hand
at legal practice. He chambered and was retained at one
of the big five leading firms in the country but he quickly
realized that practice was not his passion.
He
left and joined the corporate world where his experience
in Industrial Relations provided him with an opportunity
to work at Shell Malaysia as their Employee Relations and
Industrial Relations Manager.
Dharmen
left Shell for MECA where he feels he can impact the industrial
relations landscape in the country by reaching out to HR
practitioners and up-skilling them in the field of industrial
relations. His ultimate career goal is to deliver world
class industrial relations practices to Malaysian employers.
