11:45 AM The Big Talent Conversation: Skills Shortages, Future of Work Methodologies & Employee Engagement

Talent is an ever-green topic within global business services, the hiring of it, retaining it and up-skilling the talent you have. So it is difficult to imagine that there are any new solutions that can solve the talent crunch. That’s where you are wrong. Innovative approaches such as employee wellness programs and purpose-led career paths are amongst a number of initiatives helping to retain talent in shared services across the region. In this panel discussion we have gathered together a group of experts to discuss: 

·       Building a positive employee lifecycle so new hires feel valued and respected 

·       Investing in EDI (Equity, Diversity & Inclusion) initiatives and building a sense of purpose 

·       How future of work strategies can help in plugging the skills gaps 

·       Creating an employee experience to protect your employee’s mental health and wellbeing
