Webinar: Roadmap out of lockdown: where next for HR? by MA Business

Roadmap out of lockdown: where next for HR?

About

The importance of the HR function has been brought sharply into focus since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and organisations and business leaders will continue to turn to their HR professionals to steer them into whatever the ‘next normal’ phase will look like.

This is an opportunity for HR to lead from the front, bringing employees and organisations together as a unified and profitable entity. The rulebook has been thrown out, and it’s up to HR to create a new one.

HR’s latest Lunchtime Debate, in partnership with Advanced, will therefore explore how HR can embrace the lessons learnt over the past 12 months while modernising the world of work to suit individual’s needs.

Unlike the dramatic switch to remote working, HR now has a choice in how it brings its people back to the workplace and under what guidance, in a model that suits your business and your people. Never before has there been a bigger chance to reset the work-life imbalance and positively change the way we all work.

Thought leaders will cover:
• How organisations can take a flexible and creative approach to return-to-work planning
• Creating a fit for purpose hybrid working model
• How to ensure employee safety, empowerment and engagement is prioritised during this seismic change
