Embracing human-centric leadership in shaping the future of work

As organisations and their employees continue to adapt to a new world of work, forward-looking HR teams are already considering a range of different business scenarios for the future as part of their business planning.

To provide key insights into how organisations can build an effective long-term strategy, CHRO Malaysia, which is taking place on November 18, will highlight why a shift to human-centric leadership is critical for the future of work.

Moderated by Jason Averbook, Global Keynote Speaker, and CEO & Co-Founder, Leapgen, the panel discussion titled, Adapting to The Work and The Workforce of Tomorrow – How HR is Taking the Lead in Shaping the Future of Work, will also explain why the evolving role of HR involves embracing change, and how HR can ensure that their organisation is spot-on with their culture that will last them through the rapidly changing world of work.

Averbook will be joined by Norlida Azmi, Chief People Officer and Board Director, Axiata and Koljit Singh (Ajit), Senior Manager (HRM Excellence & IR), BASF Petronas Chemicals.

CHRO Malaysia is part of the CHRO Online Series 2021 organised by HRM Asia to address the most critical initiatives and issues impacting CHROs as they build their future organisation.

From distributed working models to employee engagement, skills gaps to pay parity, talent shortages to brand new, undefined skills that are yet to be scoped, the role of HR has never been more important, said John Antos, Vice-President Strategy, Global Payroll & Asia Pacific, ADP.

Join Antos at his session titled, Beyond Recovery: The Bridge to Growth, where he will present the latest workforce and recovery trends, as well as the top considerations and strategies for building a future-proof and agile workforce strategy.

Also joining CHRO Malaysia is Simon Benjamin, Assistant Honorable General Secretary, Malaysia Institute of Human Resource Management (MIHRM), who will moderate a session titled, The CHRO of the Future: Time to Look at HR Through a New Lens.

Joined by Nadiah Tan Abdullah, CHRO, SP Setia and Fong Tuan Chen, Chief People Officer, Berjaya Corporate Berhad, the session will explain why CHROs need to be more involved in human capital strategy and the overall business, the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation for the workforce, and how HR’s influence on organisational decision-making can be further expanded and cemented.
