Community Snapshot

Eventful People conduct research, which includes a series of round table discussions with individuals in the HR + L&D space who are passionate about driving innovation within their business function. The attendees represent a wide range of industries from across the country and through these discussions, we identify the common challenges, concerns, and areas of interest within the HR + L&D communities. These Community Snapshots provides a summary of the key talking points among HR + L&D professionals in South Africa currently. The themes identified will form the foundation for the agenda for the HR + L&D Innovation & Tech Fest Conference, taking place in June 2025.
