In light of this, the HR Disruption Forum will cover the latest global trends and developments shaping the future of human resources, and will highlight the underlying opportunities created by such emerging trends.” Dr. Ahmed Al Shaikh BIBF Director added, “Cutting-edge competency development and knowledge sharing are key to achieving ambitious economic visions and succeeding in economic recovery initiatives.
