Why should I attend Sandbox discussions?

Discussing hot topics with practitioners who share common concerns, is often the most effective way to test ideas & co-create solutions/actions. At Sandbox discussions, the fundamental premise is the willingness to ask questions and learn from each other. Practitioners come together as they have a common interest to collaborate and arrive at better solutions.  

What defines participants

Attending Sandbox discussions will help:

• Gain new insights
• Sharpen thinking and critical inquiry skills
• Test ideas and proposals amongst peers
• Build collective intelligence by sharing best practices
• Expand your network across the NHRDN community in Singapore and guest members throughout the world

Sandbox is an excellent forum for practitioners to come together, discuss shared challenges and co-create solutions.
Be part of the vibrant HR community to give and get back.

I was privileged to be a part of the first Sandbox session with Shubha and the team and it definitely was an evening well spent. Was lovely to hear "out of the box" ideas from fellow colleagues across the industry.

The session was well spent discussing future people trends, the evolving role of Human Resources (HR) and some foreseeable challenges that we need to pro-actively prepare for. Looking forward to further sessions with the team

I attended the first Sandbox discussion on evolving workforce models. The group reiterated the strong need for flexibility at the workplace.

What I really liked about the Sandbox discussion was how we culled down the list of challenges and action areas. The 3 focus  areas were; culture, hr policies and future-fit leaders. Organizational culture and leadership will be the big differentiator in this evolution.

Keenly looking forward to participate in the next Sandbox discussion.

Sandbox discussion on evolving workforce models  was rich and reinforced peer learning.

The key insight was leaders have to help their organizations to capitalize on a multi-generational workforce working in different employment models across the spectrum of hybrid work arrangements by being a thermostat and not a thermometer of desired culture.

I am looking forward to participate in the upcoming Sandbox discussions from the NHRDN SG team.
