The latest suites of human resource (HR) tech solutions are being featured at the HR Summit & Expo that opened in Dubai, UAE today (November 6).

The event will run until November 8 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Nihal Rocca, marketing executive from CivilSoft, a leader in innovative tech solutions, said: “HR is increasingly becoming a key player in the formulation and execution of organisational strategy, and technology is evolving every day to enable HR leaders to live up to that role, ensuring the organisation’s structure, culture, people, and processes are in shape, and in harmony with its corporate strategy.”

“Companies are exploring new ways to leverage technologies such as wearables, mobile devices, social networks, and employee portals to create a consumer-grade user experience that can drive adoption, and in turn, enhance data quality – while technologies such as analytics and artificial intelligence are helping them derive greater value out of their data,” Rocca added.

Similarly, international talent management solutions provider, Cubiks, will bring their portfolio of innovative and break-through services focusing on providing organisations with concise real time data assessing an employee’s performance, leading to a more streamlined, straightforward review system.

Orla Spencer, a senior consultant from Cubiks said: “A trend and opportunity we see within HR is getting more data-driven informed decisions around people’s performance within organisations. This trend also challenges HR, as there is a global shift for organisations to become more data-savvy, keeping up with the pace of technological developments.

“We are moving away from annual reviews to a more fluid flexible review system where feedback on a more regular basis is on the agenda. In today’s climate, feedback and communication needs to be transparent and inclusive.”

The 14th edition of the HR Summit & Expo is set to host more than 100 exhibitors showcasing the latest in HR solutions for organisations, as well as welcome over 5,000 HR professionals who will have access to learning seminars.

The seminars agenda will deliver more than 70 sessions spanning seven themes: learning and development; employee engagement; HR technology and people analytics; compensation, benefits and employee wellness; professional development; business, leadership and strategy; and recruitment and talent management.

The Summit will also feature speakers from prominent regional and international companies such as Visa, Emaar Hospitality, Expo 2020, Guinness World Records, Jaguar Land Rover, Oracle, and PepsiCo. – TradeArabia News Service
