In a world where change has become frequent, leaders who can see disruptions as opportunities are often the ones who can steer their companies towards greater heights. The SHRPA State of the HR Industry Report – ME Insights found that for over 98% of HR leaders surveyed in the region, building the right leaders is the top challenge with the greatest potential to create business impact. Leadership development also emerges as one of the top investment areas in HR tech.

These trends are not surprising given major economies in the region—especially across the GCCs—are still caught in the tailwind of evolving global market conditions, a strong focus on the transition to non-energy intensive sectors, and demographic shifts have created uncertainty.
