The COVID-19 crisis not only changed our lives but our work and our world. Businesses the world over have moved billions of employees to work from home as they hunkered down to adapt to respond to the crisis and adapt themselves to this new changing reality. Or what we are calling the New Normal. 

Year after year, the People Matters TechHR agenda has taken a business lens to identify the biggest challenges facing us and from there, to attempt to find solutions at the intersection of people, work, and technology. It has always shone a light on the new that’s around the corner, on the next playbook waiting to be unveiled.

However in our 7th year, as we encounter a world that’s battling one of the biggest crises of our times, a world where old playbooks do not apply, we want to encourage and empower our community and businesses to keep on adapting, reinventing, and rewriting the playbook.

And rewriting the HR and Worktech playbook is what TechHR India 2020 is all about.

We give you 10 reasons why you cannot afford to miss the TechHR India 2020 week on your screens this time!

1. Agenda Focused on Adaptability: This year’s theme, AdaptableHR: The Great Reset underscores the fact that the new reality is vastly different and the RESET that was needed earlier has transformed into a GREAT RESET at all levels of the business. It also means that HR needs to be adaptable as never before. The reset calls for adapting now as well as reimagining the organization for tomorrow. Hence People Matters TechHR 2020 week from 10th-14th August will focus on finding answers for both the now and the next.

2. Co-author the playbook with our speakers: Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Scholar, Trader, Risk Analyst, and Author of a multivolume essay, the Incerto (The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game) will deliver the first keynote on risk and robustness.

4. New Formats for the New Normal: As the AdaptableHR theme focuses on adapting and reinventing, so have our session formats been reinvented for finding answers for the now and the future. Expect power panels, keynotes, and ideas-in-action briefings for the Lighthouse sessions while immerse in a free-flowing, spontaneous, and outcome-oriented structure in the Navigator sessions. Speaker Rooms- a focused discussion on the top five ideas or themes emerging for the group at that moment; Mash-up - Discussion Breakout Rooms- a mash-up brings odd or unexpected things together to spark fresh ideas to solve BIG problems that matter to the group; How Might We - MURAL Rooms- curated groups frame their challenge as a “How Might We” question to find a solution-are some of the new formats at TechHR 2020.
