A practical guide to HR's digital transformation

Ralf Fletcher, CEO, Topco Media

Employers all around the world are looking for tech-enabled solutions to manage, recruit, and engage their employees, with millennials and Gen Z making up most of the workforce. Artificial intelligence, diversity, the gig economy, cloud-based HR technology, and productivity skills will drive HR management in 2021 to develop, implement, and improve employee engagement to boost a business.

“People as resources are invaluable assets of an organisation,” says Ralf Fletcher, CEO, Topco Media. “For a business to be successful, every company is obligated to enhance their workforce by aligning their human resource strategies with the latest trends. That’s why it’s essential for HR professionals to attend the Future of HR Summit.”

The 7th annual Future of HR Summit

Southern Africa’s 7th annual Future of HR Summit, in partnership with Simplify, is an annual gathering in which business leaders and HR thought leaders can share their challenges and successes, to advance strategic HR within their organisations and across the economy.

“The Future of HR Summit will put the far future aside and recalibrate focus onto the definite near future: what you as a CEO, MD, HR director or manager can start doing now, or at least just now, to move towards your company’s digitally-driven future,” says Fletcher.

From 23–24 November 2021, Topco Media will bring delegates, relevant industry experts and solution providers to show you what your next step is in terms of automated recruitment, online employee engagement, scalable e-learning, data analytics, wellness programmes and other key aspects of HR.

You’ll be able to get effective solutions to assist with the implementation of your company’s HR digital transformation strategy and come away with concrete actions you can take during the next 12–18 months.
