Rob Catalano and I launched the InnovateWork community back in early 2017 and it’s been humbling to see it grow into a global HR and leadership movement of 1000s of HR, Talent, Tech and Operations pros. From the first small event on a cold winter night in an office in downtown Toronto, we’re proud that, along with the efforts of some fantastic local hosts, the events in 2020 showcase outstanding HR, Talent and Tech experts across Canada, the US, the UK and Australia.
Today we add the Caribbean to the list of InnovateWork chapters. With the help and support of PwC’s Chris Bailey and The Cayman Islands Society for Human Resources Professionals, we’re launching in the sunniest setting so far! The event will present high-profile speakers from islands including Jamaica, Cayman Islands, St Lucia, and Barbados. Following the passion talks, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions as part of an interactive panel.
