Conference Info & Focus

Strategic HR Conference, Europe
Proactive Strategic Plans for 2011 and Beyond
Barcelona, March 7th - 8th 2011

While we are still moving away from the economic crisis, and as business growth and competitiveness intensifies, the HR landscape is being influenced by a variety of trends, challenges, prospects and hidden barriers.

Globalisation, the need for continuous technological innovations, an aging workforce, talent management, retaining and engaging key personnel, while creating a culture of continuous learning and development, are only a few pieces of a complex puzzle that is being centered in the middle of an unprecedented ever-changing business environment.

It is now, more than ever before, that HR and Talent management need to move away from internal tasks and turn into a strategic business partner, responsible for engaging the executive board and promoting the vision of an active workforce in order to endorse corporate identity and contribute to its viability and success.

In this thorny business reality HR executives need to respond with a holistic, integrated, strategic talent plan that will accommodate diverse challenges & deliver a competitive advantage to corporations.

The Strategic HR Conference 2011 will serve to provide the ideal networking platform for senior level HR and talent management professionals.

Over two days, our executive delegation will have the opportunity to attend cutting edge presentations, case-studies and panel discussions, develop meaningful and valuable business relations and form a proactive strategic plan for 2011 and beyond.
