By improving transparency and disclosure, informed decisions can be made regarding one of the most important assets of an organisation: its employees.

“The HR Indaba provides an excellent opportunity for LexisNexis to engage with its existing clients, as well as other leading professionals in the HR space, where we’re able to provide insight into current market advances, as well as what to expect in the future,” says Rudi Kruger, general manager for Risk Management & International Online Services at LexisNexis.

As a partner, LexisNexis Legal & Professional will have an exhibition stand at the HR Indaba, which is the largest of its kind in South Africa. It will give HR professionals an opportunity to learn everything they need to know about the latest HR technology, HR strategy, company culture, labour laws, recruitment, employee engagement and HR leadership.
