GCC organisations are navigating an extraordinary convergence of demands. National agendas, modernisation imperatives, intense talent competition, and the pressure to build skills at scale are redefining what HR leadership looks like in the region. When external volatility is added to the mix, the complexity multiplies.
In this environment, building organisational resilience is integral to remain competitive. The organisations getting it right are investing in the right technology, processes, and workforce operating models to execute on their ambitions without being derailed by uncertainty.
In this Webinar, Dhafer Mohammed Almanea, Vice President - Human Capital at Albawani will be joining Tayfun Topkoc, SVP International, PeopleStrong to discuss how CHROs are responding to these challenges, how they are building resilience and the role of technology in this equation.
