Human Capital Europe, an event dedicated to the Human Resources (HR) sector, will be held on Thursday 26 November 2020 in a virtual format.

After the success of the phygital edition of ICT Spring, an international tech summit broadcasted from Luxembourg, and to comply with the latest health restrictions, Farvest has decided to renew this hybrid experience and to turn Human Capital Europe into a phygital event. In the current context, the organisers stressed that even though a traditional gathering cannot take place this year, HR professionals need (now more than ever) to share, connect and learn from their peers.

While respecting all the sanitary measures, local and international high level speakers are invited to participate physically on site and will benefit from a professional TV studio setup. The speakers will be able to broadcast their best HR practices and experiences to a wider and broader audience. Live talk shows will also be organised to favour the exchange of expertise between speakers and participants.

This year, Human Capital Europe will start with a morning session entitled "The leaders of tomorrow are not the ones you expect". Experts will discuss the new ways companies are operating, share best practices in terms of crisis management, debate atypical profiles and focus on how companies can benefit from recruiting them. Among the confirmed speakers are Alex Staniforth, a young British adventurer who will discuss life challenges and the need to get out of one's comfort zone, and Emmanuelle Joseph-Dailly, contributor to Business Harvard Review, who will focus on impertinent profiles and how those atypical profiles can change the way an organisation operates.

"HR reloaded" will be the topic of the afternoon. The singularity of the period in which we are currently living invites HR professionals to redefine their habits, practices and values. Speakers will address the digital transformation of the sector (which has accelerated while readjusting during the health crisis), employee engagement and motivation and the need for agility in the HR sector. The HR Summit will feature, among others, Thomas Møller Lybæk (HR Process Innovation Director of LEGO Group) and Katarina Berg (Chief Human Resources Officer of Spotify).

Even though participants will not be able to attend physically, they will still be able to exchange with their peers and discuss the latest trends while developing new business relations. To this end, the organisers have created a platform, creating business matches with the use of an algorithm, depending on the preferred sectors, industries and expertise.

Virtual booths will be available for the event partners, with the opportunity to directly engage with participants and present their innovative services through a live chat. 

The event will end with the official Luxembourg HR Awards Ceremony where a total of nine prizes will be distributed to local HR professionals, recognising their best practices, projects and initiatives. Moreover, a specific prize will be awarded this year: the Extraordinary HR Support award promotes an extraordinary HR initiative, implemented during the COVID-19 public health crisis, that supported a company / its employees and contributed to the organisation's agility and resilience.
