From December 3-5, the Grand Hyatt in Dubai will host a conference that brings together African HR executives to explore the future of human resources in the digital age.
The conference aims to discuss the role of HR practitioners in culture transformation, effective talent management, and effective change management in the era of digital transformation.
According to the Africa HR Leaders Consortium, transformation is defined as an organizational culture improvement initiative that requires understanding and continuous participation in quality improvement at every level of an organization.
Over the past two years, there has been a significant increase in budget allocation for HR Technology and digital solutions in various enterprises.
Speaking to Nyakundi Report, Joseph Mathenge, Executive Director of the Africa HR Leaders Consortium, emphasized the importance of culture transformation in digital transformation.
"Culture transformation has real implications towards digital transformation," Mathenge said. "This was identified as a top barrier towards digital transformation. The conference will be looking at how HR plays a powerful role in redefining culture by working with leaders to recruit the right staff and redesigning policies to encourage the right culture."
The conference will highlight the cultural transformation, effective talent management, and effective change management that are key drivers towards ensuring better digital solutions within organizations.
