HR Business Partner Online Conference 2022
As we move out of survival mode and into the new world of work, it’s time for HR Business Partners to take their place at the forefront of organisational change. It’s time for HRBP to be the guiding force for workplaces who want to thrive instead of just survive and as we well know, this will entail creating new strategies, new ideas, and new objectives that build and facilitate an engaged and motivated workforce.
That’s why we’d like to invite you to a conference that will empower and equip the HR Business Partner with actionable insights drawn from the experiences and practical knowledge of the industry’s top performers.
