Microsoft has been taking an active role in reshaping the post-pandemic world of work. Zeina Fakhry – HR Director, UAE and Saudi Arabia, from the company, shared, “What is abundantly clear is that hybrid work is here to stay. Having encouraged our employees to work from home for their safety, we also remotely onboarded 25,000 new people. Empowering people to thrive in a more flexible work world requires rethinking the entire employee experience – from safety, to how you create culture, to attracting and retaining talent.97% of employees have had discussions with their managers about how they work best, and our leaders have worked with them to align these needs with those of the team.”
Microsoft’s Work Trend Index (WTI) shows that employees now expect the best of both worlds when it comes to traditional and remote working. The last report shows that over 70 percent of workers want flexible remote work options to continue, while over 65 percent are craving more in-person time with their teams. That tells us that a balance between remote and traditional workplaces must be found.
The HR Tech MENA Summit boasts of a wide range of speakers belonging to different industries all set to share best practices on workplace transformation including CEOs and CHROs from leading organizations from the region such as Etihad Airways, Saudi Data and AI Authority, Omantel, The Sovereign Fund of Egypt, Aster DM Healthcare, SAMI, Abu Dhabi Customs, Pepsico, Schneider Electric, ENOC, DP World, Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, RAKTDA, amongst many others.
