City Social, Tower 42, 25 Old Broad St, London EC2N 1HQ

The last two years have turned the workplace as we knew it upside down, with employees now embracing hybrid and virtual working for the long-term. As a result, HR teams need to be able to digitise processes and offer staff access to key data such as payroll, training, contracts, and career development wherever they are in the world.

In addition, staff now expect their interactions with HR, from recruitment to offboarding, to be seamless and personalised. Companies are under pressure to shift HR operations to the cloud and build smooth digital journeys, or risk losing top talent to more high-tech, responsive, and flexible workplaces as the cost-of-living crisis and the ‘Great Resignation’ continue to bite.

To turn the tide, many companies are deploying automated, cloud-first platforms, which digitise datasets and enable self-service for employees. This roundtable event with industry peers will focus on the key challenges and opportunities for HR teams and IT leaders as they attempt to take control of their data, digitise HR, and build the digital workplace of the future. 

Topics for discussion:

• What are the main challenges for HR teams in facilitating the hybrid model as staff work flexibly at home and return to the office?

• How are HR teams using new technologies to improve staff retention and fight off competition for talent amid the cost-of-living crisis and the Great Resignation?

• What are the key data governance and compliance challenges for HR teams as employees embrace flexible and hybrid-working models, including working across borders?

• Which stages of the HR pipeline are best suited to automation, and how can cloud-first technologies help to simplify and improve workflows?

• What percentage of HR data workloads have been moved to the cloud, and how is the cloud expanding legacy operations and boosting efficiencies for HR and IT teams?

• What are the main roadblocks to offering personalised HR communications, as employees now expect this as standard rather than a nice-to-have?
