How AIA, Manulife and Maybank use HR tech

As new technologies that automate and facilitate talent strategy multiply, the constant challenge for HR practitioners is to determine which systems work best for them in the long run.

At HR Tech Interactive, the regional invitation-only HR technology event for regional HR leaders, top executives from AIA, Manulife and Maybank will examine the latest innovations and concepts that will paint the future of HR technology.

“HR Tech Interactive speakers are individuals known for their outstanding credentials, wide-ranging experience, and valuable contributions to the industry.”

HR Tech Interactive will tackle HR technology issues research has found to be the top challenges facing the HR community and businesses in general, including big data analytics, workforce management systems, mobile-enabled processes, social media campaigns, and talent management applications. Among the experts discussing these at HR Tech Interactive 2016 are senior HR professionals from leading financial firms.
