## Snapshot of the ‘40Under40 Asia HR Leaders 2022’ journey!

We started the application process in August 2022 and received 250 applications by the end of October. After months of jury deliberation and leadership assessment test by Mercer, we arrived at the 40 winners.

The world of work has transformed significantly in the past couple of years.

From the way we work ![Vector 64](https://explore.darwinbox.com/hubfs/Vector%2064.svg) to where we work, everything has changed. Digitalization is going to define this decade in the world of work.

HR leaders have been at the heart of organizational transformation. They have spearheaded this journey and enabled companies to respond to ever-changing business needs effectively.
