e2 hr/ir conference
Our First Edition
The E2 HR / IR Conference 2026 marks the inaugural edition of E2 Workforce Consulting’s flagship HR and industrial relations conference, designed for employers, HR leaders, and decision-makers navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
Over three intensive days, experienced practitioners from HR, law, industrial relations, and leadership will unpack real cases, emerging risks, and evolving regulatory expectations shaping today’s workplace. From performance management failures and senior exits to union recognition, surveillance, crisis response, and post-termination risks, each session prioritises practical insight over theory.
This first edition goes beyond compliance checklists. It focuses on judgement, defensibility, and strategic foresight so organisations can act confidently in high-stakes workforce decisions.
Co-hosted by E2 Workforce Consulting and AuntyHR, the conference reflects a deliberate collaboration between regulatory rigour and frontline HR realities. AuntyHR brings two decades of corporate leadership experience and practitioner insight, ensuring conversations remain candid, relevant, and operationally grounded.
Together, this inaugural platform sets the tone for a new standard of HR and IR dialogue in Malaysia.
