A team of wellbeing consultants will be available to explore customised wellness solutions.
With over 3,000 attendees, close to 50 exhibitors and numerous knowledge-sharing sessions, the inaugural HR Indaba was arguably a resounding success. Wellbeing Partnerships chief executive Sandra Chadehumbe says they are looking forward to engaging with HR professionals to discuss their ideas on wellness at this year’s event.

What would you say is the biggest challenge facing the HR profession?
The HR profession in South Africa are faced with the impact of social, economic and political changes within the workplace. The relationship between employee and employer continues to be under threat and the wellbeing of employees is impacted by social, economic and political matters including: fraud, theft, abuse, access to universal healthcare as well as organisational responses to the above (managing uncertainty, downsizing and the impact of increased use of technology).
