In times of constant technology advancements, organisations and businesses face unprecedented challenges and opportunities: How to manage and get the best out of technological disruption? How to hire, manage, align and develop your workforce? And most importantly: how is technology going to transform the HR function? Those were the ultimate questions during the event "Talent Management Meets Technology" Hosted by Enterprise Ireland. Enterprise Ireland Benelux is responsible for the development and growth of Irish enterprises across multiple sectors in Belgium, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands, a platform for Talent Professionals to share knowledge and expertise, learn about overcoming today’s challenges and network with industry peers. I was invited to give my vision on #TheFutureOfHR and how HR will be impacted by technology. As the only woman on stage I shared my story on #ZigZagHR.
