Job Security Is Disappearing—What Replaces It? | Susan Huang

Susan Huang’s talk highlights a fundamental shift from traditional "exchange logic", where loyalty was traded for stability, to a new "experience exchange" model centered on growth, connection, and meaning. Because the future is increasingly unpredictable, she argues that the present has become the primary currency, urging students to focus less on finding the "perfect" career choice and more on how they adapt and translate their experiences into transferable skills. Ultimately, in an era where lifetime employment no longer exists, the bond between individuals and their work is redefined by the immediate value of the journey rather than the promise of a destination.

Susan Huang is an HR strategist with over 14 years of experience across APAC in luxury, real estate, and education. Specializing in talent acquisition and people strategy, she leverages dual Master’s degrees in intercultural education and communication to align organizational growth with human potential. As a leader in disability inclusion, she is a passionate advocate for building diverse, human-centered workplaces that adapt to the evolving global landscape.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
