People choose products, services, and companies based on the quality of the experiences they have.
Job Seekers are no different and organizations realize that. Hence, great organizations are focused on
delivering great hiring experiences. A very important of this hiring experience is your application process.
In this session, we launch the “The 2020 Time to Apply Study”, which sheds light on the efficiency of the
application process of organizations.
Join us to get some actionable insights on how to better align your application process with the
expectations of candidates.
It is difficult to predict how the workforce landscape will look over the next one to three years. Many
organizations have quickly adjusted as employees transitioned to work from home and adopted a new
work environment almost instantly, putting in place new remote work policies, supporting managers
to embrace working with and leading fully virtual teams and encouraging collaboration through
diverse platforms. Moving forward, HR will be called upon to rethink workforce and employee planning,
management, performance and experience strategies: how will these be addressed while keeping the
workforce engaged, productive and resilient?

As per Accenture’s report on “IT’S LEARNING.JUST NOT AS WE KNOW IT” - Employers face a global
skills crisis that could hold back the economic promise of intelligent technologies. Well beyond today’s
talent shortages, digital innovations will continually and rapidly alter the demand for skills in the future.
Incremental changes to our education and corporate learning systems will not be sufficient. In response
to this crisis, business leaders must completely rethink how to prepare their workforces, from anticipating
the skills their organizations will need, to how they will help people learn and apply new skills throughout
their careers. In this session, we talk more about the future of learning and employability.
SHRM Competency: Leadership and Navigation
In these challenging times, certain employees have stepped up more than others to ensure the ball

it is critical for organizations and HR teams to up the ante and go beyond the normal to retain and
motivate them. Listen in to decode the secret of managing key talent in these tumultuous times.

can change the course of the future. Today, organizations are clearly witnessing the emergence of
three categories of employees - Remote workers, Front line workers and Composite workers (flexible
workforce). Each of them have unique needs and if well managed can offer significant operational
benefits. This would warrant for different workforce management strategies and processes that need
to extend beyond traditional attendance capture and leave management in order to remain competitive
and achieve business results.Join this session to explore, the various workforce management strategies
that have taken the centre stage to ensuring better efficiencies during times of uncertainity!

Session Description
According to a 2018 Forrester paper“those with monthly or continuous performance processes are 1.4 to
1.5 times more effective at engaging and retaining employees than those with annual processes.” So, how
do you marry the need for long-term reflection with regular and meaningful discussions? The point about
performance management is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. It requires a nuanced approach
that considers the unique needs and culture of your organisation. Rethinking performance management
is a top business priority for many companies today, leading to an evolution in the process of annual or
quarterly performance reviews. But is it an evolution or a revolution?
SHRM Competency: Human Resource Expertise; Business Acumen; Relationship Management
Thanks to the digital transformation companies have undergone over the last years, HR professionals
have also experienced a transition that emphasizes the experience of the employees from the moment
they are recruited to the moment they leave the company. But if there’s one thing that the digital
transformation has given to the HR professionals, it’s the capacity of getting accurate data and insights
about the state of their employees. In this session, we discuss on how technology and data can boost
employee experience.

culture sustained using a balance of these two contrasting elements?
