16th Asia Pacific HR Roundtable: Agenda

 

 

Mercer’s 16th Annual Asia Pacific HR Roundtable Conference combines invaluable insights from Asia’s leading organizations with the deep-seated expertise of Mercer’s consultants to help you develop innovative HR solutions to the business challenges your company faces today.

 

Divided into plenary and concurrent sessions, the conference not only provides you with a unique opportunity to learn more about the HR strategies of companies such as Morgan Stanley, Starbucks and AT&T Asia; it also allows you to delve deeper into core topics such as attracting world-class talent and cross-border benefits solutions.

 

All delegates are welcome to attend our plenary sessions; however concurrent sessions are interactive and therefore places are limited. Delegates must register their choice of concurrent sessions in advance.
