1. 1.1 Background
Dasin Holdings Pte. Ltd. is one of the largest shipping transportation companies,
which is based in Singapore. The firm is mainly famous for their ability to transport
larger volume cargo shopping. The core operational areas of the company include
supply and logistics chain. This is done with the help of large sized cargo vehicles
that can be transported for long distances. The transportation industry has to expand
rapidly in order to meet up with the growing demand of the consumer products within
the global market. They also form a major part of the international trade that is
believed to be the backbone for all forms of globalized business. Nearly 55,000
cargo ships operate within the current shipping and transportation industry. These
are represented across 150 countries with total staff members of about 1.5 million
workers. It is also estimated that nearly 20 million shipping containers are
transported all across the oceans every year (Lun et al. 2015).
As the demand of the shipping and transportation industry is going up, there is
sudden surge in the needs of skilled workers. Nevertheless, the major issues that
are encountered in the given context include that of health issues of the workers.
Due to the hectic nature of work style and long distanced travelling, it is highly
challenging for the shipping crew to maintain a healthy life style. The industry has
therefore witnessed high levels of employee leaving the job. This has therefore
raised the issue of low employee retention. The shipping industry and the cargos are
believed to constitute of 90% of all trade movements. Nevertheless, in the context of
Singapore the transportation and logistics industry is believed to encounter major
issues due to the ineffective Human resource policies. Yang and Wong (2016), have
mentioned that due to the diverse nature of the working demand, it is essential to
renew the job profile within the shipping industry. This can help to ensure that

environment friendly ways can be implemented within the operations of the shipping
industry. The main purpose of the HR planning is to incorporate the elements of
quality man power and innovativeness. This can be coupled along with the activity of
risk taking and having flexibility at the workplace.
The recruitment structure of the Dasin Holdings is also facing issues due to the
complex nature of staffing and employee configuration. There is lack of training from
the management that does not allow employees to get updated with that of the
regular job profile. The human resource allocation is not done effectively to make
best optimized use of the available resources.
The area of environmental protection is one of the prior importances for all types of
the shipping companies as it can help in the matter of business sustainability. This
can help to provide full health protection to all the employees and the crew members.
This is considered to be one of the essential features of the human resource policy
that are implemented by the Dasin Holdings.
