LIVE ONLY! Talent in the Future of Work: Futureproof Your Workforce

New technologies, changing workforce expectations, expanding workforce options beyond balance sheet employees, and globalization are fundamentally changing work faster than ever before. Organizations try automation for efficiencies; tap into a broader workforce ecosystem of contractors, consultants, gig workers, and crowdsourcing, test remote workforce scenarios and other flexible arrangement, attempt reskilling their workforce; and invest heavily in attracting perceived skills, but often lack a cohesive strategy and approach to accomplish business goals. Traditional concepts of talent strategy, talent management and workforce planning only partially address these issues. A more holistic, agile, and responsive approach is needed to seize opportunities in this new reality. We will provide a research-based guide to business practices that create business and workforce outcomes and show a maturity model of what practices differentiate value and meaning in the future of work. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Learn what challenges and opportunities will shape the future of work. 
• See why traditional concepts of talent management and workforce planning are no longer sufficient to address these challenges. 
• Understand what business practices drive superior business and workforce outcomes. 
• Develop actionable strategies to assess their own maturity and advance practices. 
• Determine which practices other organizations have successfully applied towards these challenges.
