As we weather the Covid-19 storm together, Alexander Forbes is helping you and your members navigate uncharted territory: ■ Our strong focus on risk management strikes the right balance in taking advantage of growth opportunities while protecting against market downturns. ■ Our advice helps your members make better decisions about their retirement fund savings, including loss of earnings or retrenchment. ■ Our integrated consulting is based on outcomes, best advice and holistic needs. We’ve heightened our operational excellence now and into the future.
You can count on us, through the good times and the bad.

INTRODUCTION As a virtual event, the impact of this year’s Summit will know no geographical boundaries and we are immensely pleased to be hosting a number of delegates from around the world - we expect that many more HR visionaries from other countries will join us next year.
The Future of HR is global. The HR industry - and business in general - is pivoting and changing faster than most of us can keep up with. In the era of social media new HR trends, technology and trending debates spread like wildfire and any HR professional - in fact, any leader of people in any sphere - must keep on top of the information overload in order to stay relevant in the eyes of those they lead or manage. My hope is that you will come away from these two days with profound knowledge and insights that you can practically apply back in your own organisation - whether around tech solutions, wellness, agile management or other focus areas discussed at the Summit. We are pleased to be hosting you at South Africa’s premier virtual HR tech thinktank, in partnership with Gold Sponsor Simplify. If you’re reading this, you’ll already know that we have a fantastic, empowering and thought-provoking programme lined up featuring, highly-respected speakers. Special thanks to each of them for sharing their wisdom with our delegates and for being available for one-on-one Q&A sessions - something that was not possible in the “old normal”. It is the exceptional calibre of our speakers, panelists and moderators that truly sets Future of HR apart. They are, quite simply, the reason we are all here today. Also, great thanks and appreciation go to our sponsors and partners this year who made it all possible - Simplify, Alexander Forbes, NHFC, PPS, LexisNexis, Sanlam, IPM and SAFM.
Please take five minutes to complete our short survey before leaving the Summit, because this is your event. Your frank feedback is essential in order for us to evolve the Summit year-on-year in line with your expectations. Survey forms will be available in the poll section on the Hopin platform. Thank you sincerely for joining us for two days of your own valuable time. Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow.
Kind regards, Ralf Fletcher CEO Topco Media

There’s never been a better time to ask: What if? “WHAT IF” is a powerful question. It challenges the status quo and anticipates possibilities in the same breath. WHAT IF your retirement fund was able to harness leading-edge technology to save you time, money and effort? WHAT IF your consultants were able to engage with and influence your employees to make better financial decisions? WHAT IF your employees became more productive because they were in better control of their health and finances? WHAT IF you had a partner who looked at things a little differently? A partner who helped you to explore how advice, retirement funding, insurance and healthcare could transform people’s lives. A fully empowered partner with Africa’s largest insurance footprint. At Sanlam, we continue to explore the “what if” questions that enable financial resilience and prosperity for institutions and your employees. Visit www.financialresilience.co.za to begin to ask: What if?
