Webinar
Over the past few months, organisations have had to react and adapt to unprecedented challenges. People professionals have barely had time to catch their breath as they take stock of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and its effect on the workplace.
HR leaders have shown immense agility, quickly pivoting to manoeuvre in this new world of work. HR teams have had to support employees practically and emotionally to ensure they have all they need to work efficiently from home, keep engagement and morale high, coordinate furloughs and redundancies, and much more.
But as we all get used to the new normal, how do HR teams begin to plan for the future? This People Management Insight webinar, produced in partnership with Capita, looks at how HR leaders are adapting to the crisis and how digitisation has helped keep the world of work moving forward. What does it mean for your managers? How do you hire and support new people joining your organisation and support those returning into the workplace or from furlough? What has changed in this process and what things have become pressing issues for HR teams now and tomorrow?
Join the session to learn:
• What the future of HR looks like
• What the priorities are for HR leaders, immediately and long-term
• How HR teams are coping and responding
• How new tools and digital processes are assisting new ways of working
• How to ensure a first-class onboarding experience, whether your colleagues are returning to work or new joiners
