From HR to Community Development: Creating Impact Beyond Organizational Boundaries
What becomes possible when the trust and connections we build at work extend into the wider community?
HR leaders bring people together, build trust, and nurture a sense of belonging around shared goals. These experiences can also connect people across businesses, industries, and communities to exchange knowledge and grow together.
Organized by Stories of Asia in collaboration with OD.ID, this session is part of OD Summit 2026, OD.ID’s annual event. Join us for an evening of sharing and group discussion with Sam Neo and Erdo, exploring how people leadership, leadership branding, and storytelling can inspire collective action beyond the workplace.
