Leading Through Transformation:

Using Agility & Technology to Improve HR Practices

The anxiety over AI, and technology in general is understandable given the advancements in artificial intelligence, which can now handle tasks like writing HR policies, candidate screening, and autonomous driving to get you safely to work.

The 2024 HRO Today Association Conference and Awards Program will set the record straight about Tech and HR, as we debunk the myths, delve into the tech reality, and share insights about tech application and learn tips to adopt the strategies best suited for your organization from the HR leaders (not the robots), who are connecting technology to real business results.

Join the conversation and our annual awards program finalists, in categories recognizing tech and innovation, leadership and collaboration and more, as we announce this year’s winners and share the success bullets that helped them get there, in an online virtual event on Friday, December 6, 11:00AM ET – 1:30PM ET.
