Overview
Please join the Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies at Cornell University and the Center for Strategy and Human Capital Research at National Sun Yat-sen University for a jointly hosted partner meeting focused on Transforming HR for the Future.
The world of work has undergone significant change in recent years. Advances in artificial intelligence and other technologies, the reconceptualization of work and the workplace, and shifting employee expectations are changing how organizations operate and compete. In response, transformation has emerged as a critical priority for HR leaders.
Today’s HR leaders are focused not only on transforming the HR function, but also on helping drive broader organizational and business model transformation. This meeting will examine how HR must continue to evolve to address today’s most pressing challenges while preparing organizations for what comes next.
Faculty and HR leaders will share current research, practical insights, and emerging practices across a range of HR topics. The program will be highly interactive, with opportunities for participants to exchange perspectives, ask questions, and network with speakers and fellow attendees.
A full program agenda will be shared closer to the meeting. There is no charge to attend, and lunch and refreshments will be provided.
