The rise of digital technology opens more exciting doors for HR departments seeking to streamline their operations and align HR tech strategies with the organisation’s business goals. However, selecting and tailoring technological systems to specific groups and workplace cultures remains a constant challenge.

This is why the HR Leaders Summit, Asia’s most prestigious event for senior HR executives, will demonstrate how HR can effectively embrace the digital age.

“Although many organisations have already taken bold steps, it is critical to formulate a digital strategy that can address long-term needs but are open to change at the same time,” said Aditi Sharma Kalra, regional editor of Human Resources magazine.

“The HR Leaders Summit has invited HR leaders and technology specialists to discuss this and more as the industry attempts to look into the future.”

The HR Leaders Summit is an ultra-exclusive, invitation-only conference for senior HR executives to be held at the Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa on the island of Phuket in southern Thailand on 16-18 May 2016.

Entitled “Moving to digital HR –People, leaders, and innovation culture” the keynote session by Haroon Bhatti, chief human resources officer at DiGi Telecommunications, will walk the audience through the process of filtering available technologies and adapting the most effective alternatives.

Bhatti will show how to redefine employee experiences for the digital age, from the actual use of predictive analytics and data-driven systems in decision-making to the changing role of CHROs to drive innovation culture.

Delegates will get industry perspectives and practical information on how to predict future human capital trends as an effort to develop new ways to attract and retain top talent. The process of using competitive analysis and market intelligence will also be examined.

There will be a case study presentation about the importance of social media in highlighting employee value proposition and how to measure its overall impact on business standing.

At last year’s event, a roundtable discussion took a close look at how businesses are shifting gears in terms of analytics and data, especially its increasing role in making talent decisions.

This year, the HR Leaders Summit will cover all angles that can be revolutionised by new digital technologies and systems. Bhatti’s presentation will be followed by keynote sessions, case study presentations, and networking breaks.
