CEO\/Founder of instinct wave,\u00a0Akin Naphtal, \u00a0in his welcome address applauded organisations and practitioners who have pushed the boundaries and raised the bar of excellence in the profession in spite of the effect of the pandemic on the global work force.<\/p>\n
\u201cHR undoubtedly is the focal point of every organization. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has permanently solidified the position of this noble profession. HR operated in crisis mode for much of 2020 and the first half of 2021, figuring out how employees could work from home, trying to provide extra mental and physical health support, and working more than ever on C-level strategies for keeping their organizations functioning. As the dust continues to settle and companies adjust to a new normal, the role of HR has fundamentally changed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
