“We are invested in the growth of the HR industry and in empowering job seekers" said Careers24 GM Marc Privett.

At Careers24 we agree that HR is one of the most influential departments of an organisation. The role of HR involves more than just hiring, firing and managing employee paperwork. Instead the HR department is key to business processes, from building the company culture to aligning organisational goals, and beyond.

The 2016 Future of HR Summit and Awards aimed to address the transformation of the HR function in South African business, and consisted of two parts:

The Future of HR Awards, which seeked to “recognise South Africa’s most influential participants of people management strategies, leadership and innovation. It identifies business pioneers, highlighting their accolades for the world to see.” The Awards brings South Africa’s icons from business and government together.

The Future of HR Summit, which wanted to “address the exciting transformation of the HR function in the business environment, forecasting trends for 2016, sharing innovative and strategic approaches to overcoming challenges, discussing practical methods of employee engagement, talent acquisition, and empowering leadership, and providing thought provoking content, and unique networking opportunities.”

Careers24 is excited to have partnered once again with this prestigious event. “We are invested in the growth of both the HR industry and in empowering job seekers. Last year we received very good feedback from recruiters who attended the summit and we look forward to being a valuable partner again for this event which provides a platform for the discussion and understanding of industry challenges as well as solutions” said Marc Privett, General Manager of Careers24.

He has spoken about one of the biggest new trends in local business: employer branding.

“Through our partners, we are co-creating what the future looks like- overcoming unique challenges that the industry faces, and embracing the exciting developments within the world of HR. We are very proud to have one of the leaders in the HR arena, Careers24, again as a sponsor for the 2016 Future of HR Summit and Awards” says Topco CEO, Ralf Fletcher.
