HR Business Partner Conference 2023 Cape Town

Embracing Change: Focusing on industry innovations
and becoming a leading HRBP in an evolving World of Work

About the Conference

Rapid shifts in the workplace mean that HR Business Partnering has taken on a completely different shape, which requires it to focus on looking ahead to shape the modern workplaces of the future and prepare accordingly. Organisations will require agility, productivity, collaboration and innovation if they are to respond well to changing environments, disruptors and digital changes. For this reason, HRBP’s understanding of the business is critical. Working proactively with business leaders on resolving various workplace challenges and coming up with strategies to move the organisation forward in the changing world of work has never been more important.

This HRBP conference will address the issues organisations are facing, including current trends, disruptors and economic challenges, while assisting HR Business Partners to align employees and management goals with business objectives in designated business units. Our speakers will share their expertise, practical case studies and solutions to help HR Business Partners implement necessary change within their organisations, keep up with the latest trends going forward, develop good business acumen and enhance growth in their roles.
