How can technology make HR work easier? How can technology help you find the right employees and discover their talents? How to use less paper? You will find out all of this and more during my speech.
11:30
Previously, companies used things like sales bells, whiteboards, an employee of the month trophies, plaques and other things to motivate their workforce. The major downside was that it was hard to bring together separated offices and it was also a lot harder to find out the actual ROI of HR & employee motivation investmets since there was a lack of workforce analytics? . No wonder it was very hard to build a culture in a single cohesive manner.
So what has changed in the last decade and what are the future trends of employee engagement?

A number of companies today emphasize that employees are their most valuable asset, but how much we actually know about employees’ lives in the company. Are we attracting the right staff? How much does a lost employee cost? Are employees productive? How much do employees collaborate? Is it meaningful? Let’s see how data analytics can help us manage our staff in the 21st century.

Reading the workplace-related headlines can be overwhelming. “Open plan offices linked to productivity”, “Hidden hell of hot-desking”, “Future of work is remote”… Making decisions solely on such “educational” content can leave the company blindsighted when strategizing workplace redesign. In this keynote Oleg will address the issues related to the prevalent discourse and compare such click-baits to peer-reviewed research.

Agile has changed the rules of the game of work by revealing creativity, diversity, self-organization. The concept of work has evolved placing people in the centre of this new system.
Agile has never been a methodology nor a process, it’s mindset, a culture. So far corporate culture always have been in hands of HR, so it’s time to “hack” the old way of doing things.
New generations are joining the job force and on top of traditional pay benefits they demand purpose, autonomy, mastery… what HR can do to provide this new standard of motivation?

Futures are always a reaction to the present; tomorrow is always a judgment on today. By training a microscope on how we work now, we can try to figure out how we’re going to work when this day is done. Though the future of work will always be in the future, the future of your work has never been closer. The rise of robots, machine intelligence, distributed ledgers, quantum physics, “gig” labor, the unexaggerated death of privacy, a world eaten alive by software — all these trends point to a new world that’s shaping up quite differently from anything we’ve ever seen, or worked in, before.
11:30
The world is changing quickly, and with it business is being constantly disrupted. As technology, especially AI, continues to replace human labour, concern is rising amongst workforces about their working future. Are we facing a workforce and society crisis, with large numbers of unemployable people and a diminishing number of jobs? What the role of business is in supporting workforce transformation, and building a skills bridge from those skills relevant today to those for the workplace of tomorrow – ensuring your business can succeed in the future working world?

Emotional Intelligence, EQ or EI, is one of the top skills expected of an effective modern leader. According to research, with IQ and other traits being equal, EQ accounts up to 90% of star performance. Leaders with high EQ understand, use and manage emotions to guide to thinking, behavior and decision making in ways that benefit themselves and those around. The good news is, like any other mental skill, it can be trained. To get a taste of the field, we will be looking at introductory concepts from the Mindfulness-Based Emotional Intelligence program developed at Google under the name SIY by leading experts in neuroscience, business and psychology.

There are no completed things; there are only things in making (James, 1909). World around us is rapidly evolving and becoming more complex. As a consequence, organisations apply into new methods of working in dynamic teams, and Agile is one of those. But, is it enough? Do team members matter? An experimental research recently conducted and its indicative results suggest that teams of people with higher level of mindfulness do perform better and deliver better results. Yet, I avoid using term “mindfulness”, as it instantly is being associated with meditation. Of course, meditation might be a way to it, yet there is more into it. Thus, in my presentation I would like to speak about awareness / attentiveness at modern working place, how it leads to creativity and improved performance. Most importantly will suggest ways how everyone can improve attentiveness in simple and… enjoyable ways.

The rise of technology has enabled more people to create their life around their work. A ‘life-first’ attitude is prevalent among millennials and this is quickly impacting all generations as human beings seek to have a fulfilled life, not a ‘work-filled life’. Firms such as Upwork, Freelancer and others are growing at exponential rates as more freelancers join and book projects. Moreover more and more business are looking at building long-term relationships with freelancers who serve as integral and trusted member of in-house teams. Within the next five years, it is predicted that the global workforce will comprise nearly 50% freelancers.

In USA, 18 years ago 17 people were able to agree on 12 Agile principles in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Principle #12 states: “At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly”. In USA, 9 yeas ago the Agile Coaching Institute was founded which created a fundament for the new, emerging profession – Agile Coaching. Reflecting back on your business – How many times since 2001 have you or your team adjusted the behavior to make the work more effective? In this short talk I want to cover the topic of behavior and how it impacts the results we are trying to reach together and what is that we, Agile Coaches should be focusing on inside the complex human (still) organizations.

In the new era of industrialization, companies are automating their daily routine, which is why the role of employees in the company is changing. Technology replaces people in many places, but it also creates new jobs and jobs where new skills and the work environment play a huge role. For a company to compete in the labor market today, it needs to create a happy job for every employee. Creating a happy workplace with biohacking tools is a prerequisite for successful long-term collaboration between the company and the employee.

Technology now provides ways for you to identify your most productive time, your unique sleep needs, and even what food is best for you. Knowing this, why do we still wrestle with failed diets, esoteric sleep strategies, and unnecessary supplements? The convergence of health and performance allows us to amplify your productivity. Learn the steps needed to personalize your performance.

Technological advances, government policies, and employee expectations are reshaping what we know as work, while the pace of change continues to accelerate. As artificial intelligence (AI) and automation infuse into everyday life, the opportunities for how people will work and live are significant. But how do we stay ahead? In an age defined by the intersection of artificial and human intelligence, it is more vital than ever that we focus on achieving an equitable, productive, and sustainable future for all. Some of the answers are provided in the Mercer Talents Trend 2019 study. Insights of the report will be provided as well as trends in Latvia will be highlighted. Which of global trends we already feel, which we are most likely going to feel in near future?

A study from the University of Edinburgh shows that “office workers spend more time sitting than retirees”, which significantly affects people’s well-being and undermines productivity. In the office of the new generation, the employer is brought to the forefront. Let’s talk about the changing work environment trends, office ergonomics, and investment that definitely pays off.

Development Experts mention the authenticity of the 21st century leader as the core competence in the TOP 10 of competencies – the gold standard in effective leadership. What does it mean for authentic leadership? What are the key aspects and benefits of authentic leadership? Why authentic leadership and empathy is defined as one of the most valuable managerial skills today in the technology age? The strength of our authenticity is our personality – our falls, values, abilities, talents, created for you and others. It is not always easy and it requires courage. How to talk to yourself and understand your own values, what is truly important and real. How to understand your strengths and development needs. How to develop courage not to be perfect and why mistakes are needed to make a successful professional and personal development.

Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) is a term that has been popularized in recent years, especially when it comes to attracting top talent in the market. Is it just another trend that will eventually face its downwards slope, or are we standing for Diversity & Inclusion for real? And most importantly, what actual business value can it bring to your enterprise?
Tatjana recently spent 3 months in California, the famous Silicon Valley, where she explored all the most popular tech companies on this planet. Join her presentation to find out the latest insights from the motherland of most successful tech companies, what is hidden behind it and how it will affect the innovation economy and future of work itself.

Words have the power to harm or heal, to inspire or criticize. Mindful communication is about being aware of the choices we are making and of our thinking and reasoning. It’s about developing strong listening skills that lead to empathy and improving the structure of our thoughts to say things with simplicity. It’s also about being in control of our emotions and using them in a thoughtful way. As a result, every word has more impact on our own lives and on the people we talk to. As we grow in the art of mindful communication we become more charismatic and develop great success with people in our daily lives and at work. At asya.ai we are building AI that understands emotional intelligence, helps to develop communication skills in face-to-face conversations, and helps to develop better relationships in real life.
