Yesterday, the HR One Gala gathered 400 professionals for its iconic new edition.
Farvest Managing Directors Charlotte Boutelier and Margaux Vetzel started the ball rolling with an analogy between the renowned song from Swedish Peter von Poehl, “the story of the impossible”, open to interpretation, and the importance of letting yourself be guided by your emotions.
“This is what this event is all about: enjoy the magic of the moment. Tonight, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of this gala but above all, the anniversary of dedicated people who have built HR history in Luxembourg over the past 20 years.”
This new edition was indeed a fantastic opportunity to spur the efforts and dedication of the whole HR community in Luxembourg, and reward the best solutions on the market.
