EDITOR’S NOTE Technology is driving change across professionals and HR is no exception. It is a massive force propelling HR leaders to expand the scope and impact of everything they do.
No matter what end of the HR technology spectrum you find your company at, today’s session will help you find solutions and generate the kind of conversations you’re looking for.
Many progressive employers are taking advantage of the latest technology to upgrade and retool their HR departments and to redesign traditional job functions to lift the value they provide.
As you settle in today, we in the Human Resources team look forward to meeting all of you. Please keep sharing your feedback with us, or leave us a comment on Twitter using #HRTI2016, where we will be posting live updates throughout.
According to a number of HR heads from The Futurist, a special edition of the Human Resources magazine, big data movement will be the next big thing in HR technology.
Enjoy the conference.
One of the biggest impacts of big data is it provides a fairer playing field for companies of different sizes. With big data, employers of small and medium-sized enterprises are provided the flexibility to make use of advanced technology that was once only available to multinational corporations. Besides making use of big data, over the course of today, you can expect to ideate on best practices in HR technology, driven by an agenda that features case studies, keynote presentations and intimate networking opportunities. Now in its second year in Hong Kong, HR Tech Interactive is dedicated to pool together the most relevant and contemporary views up for discussion. The unique aspect is our interactive format. Each table will have a moderator and be allotted adequate time to share their views, ensuring you get the most out of the event by engaging in valuable two-way discussions.
