Leaders are gathered to discuss HR's role in the 'new normal'
HR leaders across Asia are gathered today (8 October) for HRD’s second HR Leaders Asia Virtual Summit.
Rachele Focardi, founder at XYZ@Work opened the event by highlighting leadership’s role in navigating the ‘new normal’.
“I’m a strong believer that through disruption comes opportunity for growth,” Focardi said. “And I do want to believe that that everything that has happened, as challenging as it is, is meant to put us on a better path, as both business and political leaders all over the world struggle to anticipate and prepare for what’s to come.”
Today’s discussions involve a slew of thought leaders from top organisations such as Intel, Mattel, Standard Chartered, Starbucks and Unilever.
Speakers will take the stage throughout the day to discuss pertinent topics such as:
- How to foster collaboration, teamwork, agility and cohesion in the new normal
- How to coach leaders and managers to build their emotional intelligence and empathy
- HR’s role in building a resilient workforce
