With the current pace of change and the rate at which technological changes are impacting organisations, the need for long-term workforce planning is now. While most organisations recognise that AI and technological disruption is an opportunity, many face challenges when it comes to transforming their current ways of working and shifting into a digital mindset. This exposes organisations to risks, especially when adopting new technologies without transforming the way they work and ensuring that their workforces are sufficiently adaptable to the new world of work.
Our whitepaper explores the key opportunities and challenges that organisations in the Middle East face when it comes to technological innovation, and how organisations can adopt the digital-first mindset needed to create thriving workplaces of the future.
"A key for driving the continued transformation of HR in 2024 and beyond is shifting from a focus on technology projects to a mindset of being a digital function. By focusing on adaptability, intentional human centred design and innovative technologies; HR will be in a position to be trusted, thriving and transformative as we continue to see change as a strategy and not the enemy."
