THE PROGRAMME

The recent pandemic and resulting economic downturn have fundamentally changed how we live, how we work, and how we balance both - putting people professionals in the front seat. What have we learnt? How do we rebuild better? 

Held around the theme of "Looking ahead: Towards better work and working lives", the 2021 programme explores the lessons learnt in the past year and key themes that have emerged as priorities for organisations in the region:

- Leadership skills and emotional intelligence 
- Well-being and mental health at work 
- Employee voice and company culture in a virtual world
- Leveraging talent, reskilling and L&D

Over two days, attend inspiring keynote addressestown-hall meetings, learn from practical case studies and enjoy group activities.
