Kathmandu, May 21

Kathmandu Fintek is organising a human resources (HR) conference in Kathmandu on May 27. The event will focus on the future of leadership and workforce management in the context of developments in artificial intelligence, the organiser informed in a statement on Thursday.

The conference will bring together individuals from the HR, banking, AI and digital transformation sectors.

"The conference will discuss the integration of AI, data and digital technologies into HR functions. Topics include AI in HR, data-based decision-making, digital employee experience, leadership approaches in the AI era, and skill development for the future workplace," read the statement.

Speakers at the conference include Harsh Kumar, a CHRO from India’s banking and financial services sector, who has led AI projects within his organisation. He will discuss how HR can manage organisational culture change when introducing technology.

Likewise, Shilpa, a senior CHRO and certified AI professional with experience in corporate and banking leadership, and Alok, an expert on AI use in Nepal’s banking sector, will discuss integration of AI and HR, and introducing AI in Nepali banking, respectively.

According to Kathmandu Fintek, the conference aims to encourage emerging talent in the HR sector and convey the message that HR should extend beyond recruitment, payroll and administration towards data-based decision-making and people intelligence.

The conference is intended for HR managers, executives, department heads, line managers, supervisors and individuals in leadership roles who seek to understand the effects of AI and digital transformation on labour and organisational strategy.
