About the event

What does the future hold for HR?

Today as employers in Thailand face a daunting array of challenges, HR is trying to keep up with the speed and agility to propel business transformation accelerated by the digital economy. This has caused companies to move beyond discussions around talent shortage and the talent war, to ensuring they can truly measure the business impact and results on the bottom line. 

As such, there is no doubt that forward-looking HR leaders like yourself are harnessing the digital resources available to redefine and reinvent HR operations to add real value to the business. From talent acquisition to learning and development, compensation & benefits, HR Tech and more, how can HR be a more strategic business partner to the business – this is what the conference will seek to answer.  However, does the move towards a tech-savvy human resources path really beat tough competition and will it continue to be the strong pillar to sustain  your workforce?

Last year, Human Resources Online brought to you the inaugural launch of Accelerate HR. This is a two-day conference that ventured into navigating the future of HR transformation to drive business performance. This year, we will gather yet again Thailand’s top 100 HR professionals and industry experts in supporting the transformation of the traditional HR processes to a future-forward function aimed at achieving successful business outcomes.

This conference will unravel a stellar speaker line-up that will embrace recruitment, talent management, HR analytics, and employee engagement success. 

Will you come on this journey as we refocus our HR priorities to add real business value?

Here’s how #AccelerateHR will meet your expectations

Most HR executives – 70% recognise the need for workforce transformation. Yet barely a third 37% – feel “very confident” about HR’s actual ability to transform and move them forward via key capabilities like analytics and AI.
– KPMG, 2019

In today’s HR landscape, people management leaders find it increasingly challenging to apply the analytical tools and capabilities to shift the workforce mindset and prepare for organisational transformation. As such, Accelerate HR is here to help Thailand’s top HR leaders acquire all the skill sets necessary to push forward the people agenda, learn how to measure the business impact of human capital and retain the best people for their organisation.

The following topics will unravel what you need to focus on in 2021 and key pressing concerns you need to keep an eye out for, both on an organisational and national level:

  1. Soft skills approach for personal and professional development
  2. Talent acquisition: Understanding retention from a talent acquisition lens
  3. Career progression: Defining the Employee Experience
  4. Countinous workplace learning
  5. Gig economy: Its impact on cost effectiveness during COVID-19

“Between 75 million and 375 million people — that is 3% to 14% of the global workforce — could be forced to change their job category by 2030.” – McKinsey

No matter your HR experience, Accelerate HR is here to help you tackle new challenges when it comes to elevating your HR function, including:

Reskilling with leadership agility

With the daunting number of people facing potential displacement in the near future, it is crucial that you begin thinking about how to navigate your workforce through turbulent times. Throughout the two days, foster the right mindset to build an agile learning organisation that will prepare your employees to tackle the future of work.

Strengthening your EVP through work culture

As the HR function evolves into a people and performance unit, it is crucial for you to understand what motivates the workforce. The topics will drill into the various pillars needed to build a strong EVP beginning with: expanding your view of total rewards and how you can chart employee career progression against development.

Integrating multiple generations for business effectiveness

At Accelerate HR, we believe in seeing the value in every individual and providing opportunities for all, regardless of age and gender demographics, to thrive. Learn to transform your organisation into an inclusive network of specialists, generalists, giggers, contract workers, and more to continuously innovate your business.

Expanding skill sets to remain relevant and business-focused

You may be an HR expert, know the ins and outs of organisation development, people management, total rewards and more. However, as you transition into a business partner role, you will require financial, analytical, marketing and risk management skills to measure human capital impact on the business. There is no need to outsource for learning programmes as we have got you covered!
