BUSINESS UNUSUAL.DISRUPTING HRAND LEADING INNOVATIONThe new world of work is evolving at an unprecedented pace with changes in technology, multi-generational workforces and global competition for talent. For the first time HR has the opportunity to lead this wave of change.

Developing leadership, engaging staff and managing talent are now business priorities that you hold the key to. As an HR leader, your strategic imperative is to meet the intense pressures of today’s business environment and play a leading role at the highest levels of business strategy.

HR needs to raise its game by re-investing itself. This means a radically new way of organising HR by revisiting the required capabilities of the HR function, building HR influences and modernising relationships with internal business partners.

For 2015 we have engineered the HR Summit and Expo to be the centre of the new HR transformation in the region. With heavyweight gurus, handpicked sessions, international experts and leading thought leaders, this is your best chance this year to kick-start your HR innovation.

Are you ready?

Guru Morning | Tuesday 17 November 2015

In the rapidly evolving world of work, organisations must continuously develop a robust pipeline of leaders who are ready to engage employees, push forward growth strategies and drive innovation. Companies that fail to invest continuously in the leaders of tomorrow may find themselves falling behind their competitors. hr is now at the helm of the leadership building wave.

The Leadership Challenge framework grew out of rigorous research that first began in 1982 when Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner set out to understand those times when leaders performed at their personal best. Now known worldwide as the most practical model of leadership development, The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® continues to prove its effectiveness in cultivating and liberating the leadership potential in anyone—at any level, in any organisation—who chooses to accept the challenge to lead. Learn how you can implement these practices in your organisation and overcome your own leadership challenge.

Flexible working practices have long been thought to have the potential to support productivity growth but have, perhaps, been too employee-centric. This session looks at how the needs of business, customers and employees can be balanced by the adoption of flexible labour utilisation patterns which can make a sustained contribution to increased productivity.Stephen Bevan, Director - Centre for Workforce Effectiveness, The Work Foundation, uk

Shirley details the megatrends and business implications that will shape the workforce of the future.

Talent and Diversity Unlocking Innovation and Driving Market GrowthFor today’s leaders innovation is the Holy Grail. Nothing impacts the bottom line more powerfully than a product that levers open a whole new market. But what—or who—drives innovation? Talent management professionals have long suspected that diversity plays a pivotal role. Yet what they haven’t been able to get from any of the business gurus is hard data showing how diversity kicks in. Brand new research from the Center for Talent Innovation shows precisely how diversity unlocks innovation and drives growth. Findings quantify, the “diversity dividend” that inclusive leadership reaps from a diverse workforce: greater market share and a competitive edge in accessing new markets.ripa rashid, Svp, center for Talent innovation, uSa

Becoming an Engaging Leader: How 400,000 Employees View Their 40,000 LeadersThe case is well made, we all need to engage our people to enhance the bottom line. In engaging people the leader is a decisive factor; if the leader is engaging then there’s a better chance of engaging people, but if not, then it really matters little what you do, you’ll never reach the gold standard of high employee engagement. Profiles International surveyed 40,000 leaders through the eyes of their 400,000 employees and identified the behaviours that make a leader engaging – behaviours that any leader can learn to embody. Deiric will outline the key behaviours of the engaging leader – and offer some advice on how to become one.Deiric McCann, Executive Vice President, Profiles International

Lethal Leadership: The Myths of Modern ManagementFor the past 100 years we have developed management principles that have increased our efficiency and lead to enormous growth. But these principles have been shown to have a scary lopsidedness. Today we can lead and engage employees so much so that they put aside morality and their own health to reach goals and deadlines – and while ever more people die of stress each year our creativity, innovation, and human balance plummet. The question is no longer if we will fall over the edge. The question is when it happens and what we can do to avoid it. We still have to be efficient and create results. But we also have to change focus from short-term solutions to sustainable management that ensures long-term productivity.Christian Ørsted, Author of “Lethal Leadership”, Denmark

A Toolkit Approach to Employee Communication and engagement

As John Powell said: “communication works for those that work at it.” As HR professionals, you probably spend 85%+ of your time communicating – with new recruits, employees, and their managers. Likely, you will find that certain things are easier to communicate than others; talking about public holidays is easier than speaking about new parking restrictions or changes in

policies and procedures. This ‘regulation and compliance’ aspect of internal communication is often neglected, but is the foundation of any effective employee engagement initiative. Learn how to use toolkits to bridge this communication gap and support effective orientation, engagement and change management.

Engaging the Middle East Workforce: Insights and opportunities

Gallup research has found that companies with highly engaged employees outperform their peers by 147% in earnings per share and they have 37% less absenteeism – however - only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged at work. This session will reveal global and regional trends from Gallup’s employee engagement research, and best practices from leading Middle

East and global organisations to help participants understand the factors that influence employee engagement, how to create a best practice organisation-wide engagement strategy, and the potential barriers to achieving an engaged workplace culture.

vipula Gandhi, Managing Consultant, Gallup Singapore

Truth Beyond the Hype: What Truly Engages Your Workforce and What to Do About It

This practical session goes beyond the jargon of employee engagement, to provide real-life practical insights, research and local case studies on how you can truly motivate and retain your employees, both nationals and expatriates. Further, though many organisations have an employee survey, many struggle with identifying meaningful actions year-on-year and in making

engagement a business priority. Attend this session for an understanding the distinct triggers for engaging national talent, especially youth and women. Plan for a move beyond the traditional and popular approaches, where the responsibility for engaging employees rests solely on the employer, using powerful talent analytics to predict and manage attrition risk.

Using Neuroscience to Ensure Leaders Thrive and Survive in a volatile World

When the world is round, don’t pretend it’s flat. Based on over a decade of Ashridge research, hundreds of senior leaders were asked two fundamental questions. First questions was “picture yourself 10 years ago, what do you know now that you wish you’d known then?” and the second was “what have been the most critical incidents during your career that have truly shaped and

developed you as a leader?”. In this session Vicki will share with you the results of this research and the ‘fight or flight’ element that explores participants’ physiological response to critical leadership incidents. Join Vicki and find out how you can also shape your leaders for success in a volatile world.

Vicki Culpin, Dean of Faculty and Director of Research, Ashridge Business School

Learning for the Future: Practical Strategies to Boost Organisational Creativity and Innovation
