The head of regional rewards and HR programmes management from Fuji Xerox, Jacely Voon Hui Mien, will share how Fuji Xerox has built a business case to reform HR, as well as driven transformation.

"We want to leverage the right tools for the future of HR," she says. "To drive the business in the future, we were clear that we needed some kind of intelligence to provide details like employee turnover to the company. So we adopted the three principles of linking process, people, and technology."
