Current & Future Workforce Dynamics
This program will explore the rapidly evolving workforce landscape, and the challenges organizations face in structuring workforce composition amid ongoing labor shortages and shifting skill demands. The discussion will cover the broader “workforce evolution,” including the retirement of Baby Boomers, growing HR and operational risks in a dynamic labor market, and how organizations can proactively plan their future talent strategies. The session will also examine the rising demand for skilled trades, declining demand in traditional office roles, and the role AI will play.
