People Matters, Asia Pacific's largest community and media platform for HR and Talent leaders, today announced its expansion into the dynamic realm of people and work in the Middle East region. 

This new-age niche media platform is consumed by over 5,00,000 HR and talent professionals across India, Southeast Asia, and Australia/New Zealand, and supports them in redefining talent management and work culture initiatives during this transformative shift. Now, it extends its leadership insights on industry trends, latest technologies and innovations, research studies, as well as tools and resources to help HR and talent leaders in the Middle East region shape the future of work.

People Matters also plans to set up a new office in the region to serve the Middle East's business landscape, which is transforming rapidly. The shift - fuelled by economic diversification and rapid technological advancements - is reshaping perspectives on employment. Additionally, emerging trends such as the AI revolution, automation technologies, the skills gap, evolving work arrangements, employee well-being, and data-driven decision-making are prompting HR and talent professionals in the region to adopt proactive strategies to stay ahead. 

As part of the expansion, People Matters also hosted an evening of inspiration, connection, and celebration in Dubai and Riyadh, bringing together distinguished HR & talent leaders committed to shaping the future of talent.

The event fostered reflections on collaboration, purpose, and shared ambition.

Commenting on the expansion, People Matters CEO Pushkaraj Bidwai said, “As the Middle East redefines the future of work, People Matters is excited to be part of this journey. We believe that building a strong, engaged HR and leadership community is key to unlocking the next phase of workforce transformation and driving long-term success.
