2021 is emerging from the shadows of last year’s pandemic cautiously yet with a glimmer of hope. As we enter the second year of the pandemic, millions have received the first COVID-19 vaccines and as dissemination starts in several countries, we enter a major turning point in the pandemic. While there is fresh optimism for 2021, the uncertainty still continues.

While we won’t be able to forget the events and disruption of 2020, it’s important we don’t lose sight of the lessons learned too. Following on from our theme for People Matters TechHR Singapore last year, The Great Reset, we have the chance to stride ahead and build a better-than-ever world of people and work. People Matters TechHR SEA 2021’s theme, The Great Emergence will answer the question that stares us in the face- what next?

How can organizations continue the pandemic-driven transformation to leverage the opportunities ahead? How can they maximize productivity in the hybrid and flexible work models? How do they continue to focus on wellbeing as a source of commitment and engagement? And most importantly, how does HR as a function continue its quest to become more digital, data-centric and business-driven than ever before, with execution being at the core?

These concepts are at the heart of this shift and that is what People Matters TechHR SEA 2021 will aim to address, marking the new beginning of reimagining the possibilities presented by our new reality.
