Over 30 HR and business leaders from various industries discussed innovative strategies for attracting and retaining employees.
Sprout Solutions, a leader in AI-powered HR technology, discussed the latest trends, challenges, and solutions in talent acquisition and employee retention at the Talent Management Strategy Forum on September 18, 2024, held at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria.
This forum, marking Sprout’s final major on-site event of the year, brought together industry leaders and experts to explore advanced talent management strategies and technologies to help organizations optimize their workforce.
The event featured an impressive lineup of speakers and panelists, including Nicky Enriquez, Chief People Officer at Paymongo, Carmela Sais, Vice President for Recruitment at Athena, and Dr. Fabi Cariño, award-winning HR Thought Leader and Country HR Director at Medrisk. Attendees engaged in insightful discussions on transforming the employee lifecycle through digital HR, navigating future-ready hiring processes, and cultivating continuous performance development.
Attendees gained valuable insights from panel discussions on key HR topics. Nicky Enriquez and other experts explored how automation, AI, and emerging technologies transform talent acquisition and retention. Other panels addressed the shift from traditional performance reviews to real-time feedback and development. The event wrapped up with HR leaders from Umwelt.AI, UnionDigital Bank, and iQor Philippines sharing how to create a workplace culture that builds employee engagement and motivation.
“The Talent Management Strategy Forum represents our commitment to driving meaningful change in how organizations approach their most valuable asset—their people,” said Patrick Gentry, CEO & Co-Founder of Sprout Solutions. “This event was an opportunity to discuss people-centric strategies to attract and retain high-performing employees in the country.”
Another highlight was the release of the State of Talent in the Philippines whitepaper. This detailed report provides an in-depth analysis of the country’s talent landscape. It highlights the importance of building a strong employer brand, creating smooth onboarding experiences, and leveraging social media to attract and hire highly skilled candidates.
“The key takeaways from the whitepaper highlight the need for HR professionals to deepen their understanding of key data and its insights,” commented Atty. Arlene De Castro, Chief People and Customer Officer at Sprout Solutions. “By doing so, they can develop more strategic approaches to talent management, helping their organizations attract, retain, and nurture top talent more effectively.”
The event also provided exciting networking opportunities, allowing participants to connect with peers and industry leaders. Part of the set-up was the Sprout Experience Center—a dedicated booth showcasing Sprout’s products and automatically capturing attendee details for a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Sprout Solutions presented the Talent Management Strategy Forum, supported by key sponsors Umwelt.AI, Kindred, Disprz, and Smile.
