Updates Highlight Reel All you need to know about the HRO Today Forums. Having just returned from the U.S. HRO Today Forum held in Philadelphia, I am buoyed up with the vast amount of interest within HR across all parts of the community—practitioners, providers, advisors, and academia. I am also excited to see the amount of technological advances around HR and only expect this to continue to grow. On May 2nd we also recognised the leading global and north American HRO companies and individuals during the HROA gala. Find out more and details of who won at hroa.org. "Towards a World-Class Workforce: the Data, Technology and Partnerships that will drive HR Results in the Business" certainly resonates. and by the time you are reading this you could well be sitting in the audience of the Forum in Singapore (22-23rd May).
