Managing Workforce 19th March 2020

Description

EVENT DETAILS

There is a lot of discussion about what the future of work. There are so many opinions and statistics it is hard to know what to do or what to believe.

I have been working and studying in this field for over five years and I believe being overly optimistic or pessimistic is not useful. It is however about being very practical. Employee skills are changing rapidly, and organisations have be proactive to maximise the opportunities and minimise the risks to the organisation and their employees.

This workshop is going to:

•   Give an overview of the current workforce trends and the impact on the work environment. The good the bad and the ugly.
•   Assist participants understand what other organisations have done and are doing to prepare their workforce and why it is important.
  •  This will include responsibility mapping.
•   Discuss how their organisation can use this knowledge to help develop their own workforce strategies.
