The workplace has changed radically in recent years. The rise of remote and hybrid working has radically shifted the way businesses operate. UNLEASH aims to help HR leaders stay ahead of the curve, with digital media and events detailing the latest trends in HR technology.
It hosts HR tech expos worldwide, showcasing the newest thinking in the HR space and boasting former celebrity speakers such as Sir Bob Geldof, Stephen Fry and Esther Perel. As well as this, it puts on hundreds of smaller events and webinars each year, as its online platform publishes news about everything happening in HR as well as in-house research and studies to help your business optimise.
It’s one of the first points of call for news in the HR tech space. And its events are just getting bigger year on year with over 5,000 attendees and much greater online readership.
