The concept of work has been changing steadily since the Industrial Revolution. However, the past few years have been a time of accelerated change. Our workplaces have been transformed by innovations in technology, revolutionary new ways of thinking about HR and people management, and the far-reaching consequences of the 2008 global financial crisis.

The Human Capital Forum MENA, taking place in Dubai one of the regions leading hubs of change and innovation will explore the potential of human capital in the new world.

In this new world, against the backdrop of accelerated change and near-constant innovation, we as HR specialists and businesspeople must focus on the importance of HR optimisation.

“Leading in the new world of work” is the motto of Human Capital Forum MENA 2016, reflecting the fact that the agenda has been shaped by the recent market developments. The conference is organised by Naseba, a multinational company that offers business facilitation expertise in growth markets and has offices in France, India, United Arab Emirates and the United States. This will be the 11th edition of the forum.

The forum is taking place on May 25th to 26th 2016 at Sofitel the Palm Resort & Spa, providing the perfect five-star venue for attendees to expand their network within the regional HR sphere, gain practical skills and learn from global thought leaders.

This diversity in job titles is perhaps one of the clearest signs that the world of HR is indeed changing. And it begs the question: what would a selection of HR-related job titles look like 20 years from now?
