Developing leaders, Engaging workforce, Managing talent

These current changes and future predictions have a huge impact on HR

departments and professionals everywhere. How can HR leaders make

sure that their function not only responds appropriately, but also creates even more

value within their organisation?

Ahead of the European HR Directors Business Summit which takes place on the 27th and 28th May 2015 in Barcelona, the Summit team have been asking senior HR leaders from all over Europe about their priorities, concerns and plans for the future.

The responses gathered reveal insights into corporate and personal goals for the short and long term, personal development priorities, the projects where HR budget is being spent and companies and leaders who provide inspiration to all. Respondents to the survey include leaders in all areas of HR disciplines with responsibilities all over the globe.
