HR Leadership Summit 2020
Online event
12-14 October 2020 and beyond

Why is Phusis a partner of the HR Leadership Summit?
It is no secret that the pandemic has changed the world of work, be it on a human, organizational or financial level. Many organizations, if not all, are trying to reinvent themselves to survive. They are looking for methods and tools that will enable them to be more agile, more efficient, more effective (even remotely), but also more resilient in crisis situations. In this context, HR teams play a key role, but to contribute at a more strategic level, they need a system that supports them. This is why Phusis is taking part in the HR Leadership Summit, to introduce HR professionals to collaborative governance, an approach which, thanks to a clarification of roles and responsibilities within a collectively established framework, allows each person to focus on the activities to which he or she brings the most value.

Leaders for the Future: How to choose the leaders of tomorrow?
Collaborative and self-managed organizations are totally reshaping the way employees get involved in the global performance of organizations, making it a collective responsibility. During the crisis, these organizations have proven to be more resilient, more agile and even sometimes more successful, because they have enabled people to step up and make the right decisions at all levels of the organization. How can HR leaders develop their leadership and use their strategic skills to drive the cultural, structural but also individual shift required to engage their collaborators in such a journey?
