When Greek philosopher Heraclitus coined the phrase “change is the only constant in life”, he might have struggled to imagine how, hundreds of years on, this observation continues to be applied to multiple facets of life, including work.

For organisations trying to gain success in culture transformation, constant change, driven partly by the advent of technology, is inevitable. Yet, many change management efforts are doomed to fail because organisations fail to recognise a critical success factor.

Dr Tanvi Gautam, a Transformational Leadership Expert, told HRM Magazine Asia, “If AI is becoming more human, we need to make sure that organisations don’t become more machine like and instead focus on creating a human-centric workplace that priorities human-centric skills such as creativity, strategic thinking, empathy, and other deeply human skill sets.”

In this issue, we spoke with Dr Tanvi on the challenges organisations continue to face in their cultural transformation efforts and why changing the mindsets and attitudes of employees will go a long way in setting the narratives of change.

For these efforts to bear fruit, leaders will have a key role to play. To provide a timely platform for HR and business leaders in Asia to come together to identify growth opportunities and drive organisational transformation, HRM Asia is organising the all-virtual HR Tech Fest Connect 2023 on

Wednesday, September 27.

With the theme of The Connected Workplace: Empowering HR Leaders to Build an Engaged and Resilient Workforce, HR Tech Fest Connect 2023 will take a deep dive into topics such as how AI and the metaverse is shaping people development in the workplace; how organisations are deploying HR technologies to create a connected workforce; what leaders can do to organise and engage a resilient workforce; and developing successful employee engagement strategies in a hybrid world from renowned speakers such as Arthur Carmazzi, Stacey Harris, Go Ashokh Menon, and Kris Wadia.

Also, hear from international brands such as Bloomberg and Marriott, who will share their best practices in integrating employee wellbeing for a diverse and inclusive workplace, and why employee engagement is all about people when it comes to building a thriving and resilient work culture.

While change may be inevitable, organisations can thrive by embracing and learning off the changes that is taking place around them. And what better place to start then by joining us at HR Tech Fest Connect 2023 and be part of the discussion on how organisations in Asia can achieve sustainable growth in 2023 and beyond!
