Dear HR Professional

Thank you for joining us at the second annual HR Indaba Africa. This year’s event promises to be even bigger and better than last year’s.

This event has been developed with you and for you – the HR professional. You are at the centre of every learning session and networking event that we organise.

The theme of this year’s event is “Discover Learn Grow”, which distils the benefits you will reap from attending the indaba into three key areas. You will be sure to leave the HR Indaba Africa 2019 with those three boxes ticked.

We are here to help you connect with thought leaders and colleagues from corporate South Africa to share knowledge, exchange interests and open up business opportunities.

Our partners are eager to share the latest technologies, people management solutions and expert insights with you. With support from the professional bodies, recruiters and universities, we will help you boost your professional development and career.

The HR Indaba Africa conference programme covers topics that are of vital importance to every HR professional. We hope you enjoy the speakers and sessions and would love to hear your feedback afterwards.

Be sure to schedule your time around the speaking sessions that matter to you and vote with your feet.

Enjoy your visit to the Indaba and depart with new knowledge and networks, to power your business – and your career – to new heights.

Thank you for being our guest today.

10.00 - 10.45 HOW TO LEAD YOUR COMPANY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY The technologies that drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution offer your company huge

opportunities to build a successful and sustainable business. However, to benefit you will need access to the right talent, knowledge, and skills.

Discover what you can do to develop a future-proof organisation and lead your company into the digital age.

By: Brigitte da Gama, McDonald's Chief People OfficerHosted by: CHRO South Africa Room: Breakout Room 1 | Discover, Learn, Grow

10.00 - 10.45 CULTURE EATS YOUR STRATEGY FOR BREAKFAST. SO HOW DO YOU CHANGE IT?

Do you feel that your organisational culture needs to adapt and change to cope with new challenges?

Many of us do and it is one of the most difficult challenges for HR Leaders. An organisation’s culture comprises an interlocking set of goals, roles, processes, values, communications practices, attitudes and assumptions – a mutually reinforcing system that prevents any attempt to change it! It takes insights, skill and above all persistence to successfully change it. In this panel discussion, you will hear from HR executives who have done the hard yards and learn the first steps you can take.

10.00 - 10.45 HIGH-PERFORMING TEAM ASSESSMENTS Successful HR leaders are aware that even the most talented individuals and high

performers can only make a difference if the team’s collective effort is high. The value of strong teamwork far exceeds the sum of each individual’s contributions. A stronger team will improve the overall performance of the company. How are your teams doing? Do you have enough insight and control over the elements that contribute to team performance and effectiveness?

Learn from Dr Jopie de Beer, JvR Africa Group CEO, how high-performing team assessments can help you unlock and develop high-performance teams. She will share the exclusive data, insights, practical cases and research that will help you take the next step in building winning teams.

11.00 - 11.45 SCRAPING BOTH KNEES – HARD LESSONS FROM THE BOARDROOM The road to the C-suite is not always paved with glam, glitter and success. You have to

work hard to accomplish your dreams and realise your goals. And inevitably you will be confronted with your own massive and terrible failures.

In this exclusive masterclass, top HR directors share their personal stories of falling hard, getting up and moving on.

What they learned through failure are some of the most invaluable lessons you could possibly garner in life.

Are you ready to turn failure into personal growth and success? Join HR executives Celiwe Ross (Old Mutual) and Tania Hector (Nestlé) as they share their moments of truth.

11.00 - 11.45 LEVERAGING THE STRENGTH OF AI, MACHINE LEARNING AND AUGMENTED ANALYTICS

It’s been said that data is the new oil, but what if your business is built on top of a gushing geyser? In fact, it most likely is. Almost all companies produce far more data than they can analyse. Join this session to understand Workday is leveraging powerful artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and augmented analytics technologies to provide dynamically-created key metrics accompanied by explanatory narratives – what we call stories.

11.00 - 11.45 USING TECHNOLOGY TO ARTICULATE EACH EMPLOYEE’S IMPACT ON THE BUSINESS – SEAMLESSLY

In an information age where data is abundant in the workplace, human resources may find it challenging to make sense of all the information that is generated from their environment. Technology can play a pivotal role in enhancing this information from different platforms into one integrated space to make data viewable, searchable and interactive for HR to use for people and talent management. Join Kuben Naicker and Jurie van Zyl when they unpack the relationship between a technology-driven HR environment and people development, and the impact this has on the business.

Is there a practical way to anticipate what is coming? Should you adjust your approach to continuous learning and talent development?

11.00 - 11.20 ELECTRONIC CONSENT – USING TECHNOLOGY TO FUTURE-PROOF YOUR COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS

Candidate verification and vetting is an essential workforce recruitment and management tool. Ensuring you have obtained the candidate's consent is a legal requirement. The current process requires you to capture personal information, as defined by POPI, onto a paper-based consent form and securely store the information – a disaster waiting to happen. Discover how LexisNexis RefCheck will assist you in solving the problem using the latest digital signature technology, fully integrated into each applicant verification – and at no cost to you.

almost every process and task. Because one thing is sure: The digital transformation of our businesses, organisations and workspaces will continue.

13.00 - 13.45 ENABLING FINANCIAL RESILIENCE TO ACTIVATE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR EMPLOYEES

The American Psychological Association recognises financial stress as the LEADING cause of smoking, weight gain, alcohol and drug abuse among employees in the USA. Forty five percent of employees polled by PwC in the USA indicated that financial matters are their leading cause of stress – more than jobs, relationships and health combined. The Sanlam Benchmark research showed that 73 percent of South African employees experienced financial stress with more than half admitting that it was having a negative impact on them at the workplace.

Join Viresh Maharaj, Sanlam Corporate Sales and Marketing CEO, to discuss this epidemic and to explore how enabling financial resilience can activate employee engagement, health and happiness.

13.00 - 13.45 HR – THE NEW PROSPERITY PARTNER Once best HR was a business partner. But business is changing. It's less about a profit

– more about purpose. Less about individual wealth and shareholders, more about collective prosperity. As we all struggle with the scale of these fundamental, global shifts, HR has a new, big, game. It's to be the first to understand them well and then to be activist in leading the new thinking and building the new ways of working that will help business transition into this altered reality.

13.00 - 13.20 IT’S THE END OF WORK AS WE KNOW IT… AND I FEEL FINE From the Third Industrial Revolution to the dawn of the Fourth, the work model all over the

world has pretty much stayed the same. Work equated to time, and people got paid for that time. No more. In the digitally enabled, globally connected, always-on world, people don’t work for time. They work for results, outputs, outcomes. They work for gigs. Join Emma El-Karout, founder of One Circle, an online platform connecting companies with the best freelance HR talent across the world, as she shares her vision for the future of work and the boundless opportunities that it will present.

13.30 - 13.50 YOUR ONBOARDING IS TERRIBLE. AND YES, IT MATTERS. LET’S FIX IT!

There’s a good chance you are still doing onboarding the same way you were doing it five years ago. But the world has changed since then, and it’s still changing.

14.00 - 14.45 ARE YOU FUTURE-PROOFING YOUR EMPLOYEES? THE WEARABLE FUTURE OF THE MOBILE, CONNECTED EMPLOYEE – AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR HR

It is predicted that in the next decade, the centre of our digital lives will have moved from our smart mobile devices to wearable glasses, which will start blurring our real world with the digital world around us, making it difficult to distinguish reality from digital illusion.

This will impact the lives of employees, from how they are initially recruited, through all their learning and development and ultimately to how their performance and careers are both planned and managed.

HR needs to ensure they are able to understand these technologies in order to extract the maximum value from the innovations they offer. Join this session and learn how employees are best served and not threatened by emerging technologies.

resulting in tremendous frustration and inefficiencies for HR administrators and employees alike.

The employee experience has always been something that’s left to chance. This has meant that people with less power, based on their position or group identity, will experience inequality and discomfort. I will share my personal journey of job hopping for 10 years, unable to find a company where I could fit in.

I founded 54twentyfour, an employee experience design company to help leaders to consciously design their employee experience so that inclusion is not left to chance.

15.00 - 15.20 DISCOVER HOW THE STRESS CODE APP COULD TRANSFORM YOUR ORGANISATION'S HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE LANDSCAPE

The World Health Organization cites stress as the health epidemic of the 21st century. At the centre of this storm is South Africa, rated as one of the most stressed nations on the planet.

Research shows that ongoing stress is strongly associated with the increased risk of developing many chronic diseases as well as other physical and mental health issues.

Chronic stress can also result in higher absenteeism rates together with significant reductions in productivity and professional efficiencies. As traditional stress management systems are failing to cope with a growing global crisis, we may be able to find solutions using science and technology.

In this showcase you will see how The Stress Code app could potentially transform your organisation's health and performance landscape. At its core, this technology can be used as a performance vehicle that provides real-time insights into the primary organisational stresses, as well as a nuanced solutions model that can be applied to individuals and groups at all organisational levels.

employment rate of males with a disability and 19.6 percent for women with a disability. And South Africa is far behind in terms of its representation of persons with a disability in the workplace, regardless of gender. South African employers report that only 1.3 percent of our workforce at professional and management levels are made up of people with a disability, and 0,9 percent of our semi-skilled and unskilled occupational levels. South African employers are moving in the wrong direction despite the increased focus on achieving compliance and investing in skills development.

13.00 - 13.45 UNDERREPRESENTATION OF WOMEN HURTS YOUR BOTTOM LINE. HOW CAN YOU FIX THIS PROBLEM?

Recent research suggests that having women in executive positions boosts net margins and improves company performance by as much as 15 percent. However, as much as we build talent pipelines and have succession plans for years on end, 95 percent of senior management roles throughout the country are still held by men.

Therefore, we don't have the right mix of voices around the decision-making tables. Do we need to find better ways to drive female recruitment? Do we create enough opportunities for women to become leaders? In this session Candice Watson (HR Director BAT), Malisha Awunor (HR Director BHBW South Africa), Thuli Tabudi (Group HR Executive Spar Group) and Dr Mariheca Otto (Owner and consultant, Motto Consulting) try answer these questions based on their own personal experiences and professional insights

13.00 - 13.45 GET MORE OUT OF YOUR PEOPLE: MOVING FROM KPI COMPLIANCE TO ENGAGED PRODUCTIVITY

While we’ve spent decades working on different ways of measuring and assessing people’s performance, the net effect has often been a focus on compliance or “hitting targets”. While that’s fine, if you really want your organisation to thrive, you need to go far beyond compliance, and get to engaged performance. This means getting the right people in the right places, spending time on the projects that they’re most passionate about and best equipped to move forward. If you think “Well, that’s what we do in our organisation,” you may be right, but there is a wealth of research that says the majority of workers are disengaged in their jobs, and disengaged people are inherently less productive. So, let’s talk about how you can redesign your organisation to get your people as productive and dynamic as possible!

14.00 - 14.45 THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT (EQ) IN THE DIGITAL AGE There is now a greater focus on bringing one's 'whole self' to work. This is in response

to the past tendency to believe, mistakenly, that it is necessary to have a dual identity, one for work and one outside of work, which can create needless blockages and wasted potential from people suppressing their natural styles, energies and talents.

It's important to critically reflect on the value embedded in emotions as we look ahead in a digital age. In a sense, it is the elephant in the room, the potential of which is often not recognised.
