How The Paradigm Shift from HR to HD Is Driving Transformational Change
As more organisations adopt a people-centric approach in building a sustainable workforce, the focus is increasingly on fair and inclusive development of employees and stakeholders, as well as the community around them.
This has led to the emergence of human development (HD) at work, which represents an investment in people to create better opportunities for themselves, while driving profits and purpose for organisations.
This session will provide an update on how HD is continuing to transform the workplace and elevating human capital development in South-East Asia.
