Read more information below about the conference theme, the timeline with important dates and key-note speakers.

About the conference
Both the economic crisis in mid-2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic made very clear that organizations and societies at all times need to be resilient. The two crises have also challenged HRM scholars in being flexible and resilient, and emphasize how important our research and the knowledge we create can be for the wellbeing of the wider society in which we live and work. After the success of the HRM Conference in Tilburg (2019), we continue the scholarly tradition to explore the contribution of Human Resource Management to Societal Challenges.
The 12th International Conference of the Dutch HRM Network will take place on 9-11 November 2022 at the University of Twente (UT) in The Netherlands, with the pHResh doctoral consortium on the 9th of November (please note: the regular conference also starts on Wednesday the 9th!). The Conference is embedded in the UT’s multidisciplinary research tradition, its multifaceted research programmes in People First High Tech systems, and its mission to empower a resilient society through sustainable solutions.

Sponsoring and Special Issue
We are happy with the International Journal of Human Resource Management (IJHRM), which is sponsoring the Best Paper Award.
Next to being our main sponsor, the IJHRM is also organising a special issue around the theme of our conference: “HRM for resilient societies: a call for actionable knowledge”. Although the topic of the special issue is linked to the conference, it is open for all scholars, also those who did not take part in the conference. The deadline for submission is the 1st of December 2022.
