The impact of technology on today’s workplace, new challenges in human resource management and leadership, transforming HR through technology, HR standards and workforce analysis and what new HR tech solutions are needed will be among the topics discussed at the first HR Tech Asia Conference and Expo to be held in HCM City on August 18.

It will bring together more than 250 local and foreign business leaders, HR professionals, and technology professionals, who will network, gather ideas, explore contemporary trends and solutions in leveraging technology to drive HR strategy and achieving organisational success.

Breakthroughs in technology in many fields have changed the way people live, work and communicate, Huynh Minh Quan, CEO of HR Media Corporation -- the organiser -- said.

Most business leaders aim to innovate and apply technology in HR management and manufacturing to optimise work and improve their competitiveness.

Today with apps for HR management, time and attendance tracking, payroll integrated with electronic personal information system and others, they can easily manage their workforce.

Therefore, in developed countries, technology is a priority not only in the production process but also in HR management.

How many enterprises in Viet Nam focus on technology for HR management, what HR solutions are suitable for Vietnamese enterprises and what are the benefits of using technology in HR management would also be discussed at the event, Quan said.

The event will be held at Gem Center in District 1. — VNS
